    摘要: A method of characterizing at least one rotational and at least one linear eccentricity modes of a wall thickness of a seamless pipe induced during a manufacturing process of the seamless pipe. The method comprises the steps of measuring a wall thickness profile along and around a length of the seamless pipe using a ultrasound-based measurement tool; applying a Fourier transform to the wall thickness profile to obtain a frequency spectrum; identifying one or more amplitude peaks in the frequency spectrum; associating each amplitude peak to a corresponding one of the at least one rotational eccentricity modes; filtering the one or more amplitude peaks out of the frequency spectrum; applying an inverse Fourier transform to the frequency spectrum to obtain a filtered wall thickness profile; and modeling the filtered wall thickness profile into a radial profile of the seamless pipe representative of the at least one linear eccentricity modes.
