Question:

Can asbestos wrapped metal be detected by metal detectors?

Can asbestos wrapped metal be detected by metal detectors?

Answer:

The metal detector uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to produce a rapidly changing magnetic field by using coils passing through alternating current. The magnetic field can induce eddy currents in metal objects. Eddy currents also produce a magnetic field, which, in turn, affects the original magnetic field, causing the detector to emit a song.
Asbestos, also known as asbestos, is a commercial term for silicate mineral products with high tensile strength, high flexibility, chemical and thermal resistance, electrical insulation, and spinnability. It is a general term for natural fibrous silicates and minerals.Asbestos is unable to block the magnetic field, so asbestos wrapped metal can be detected by metal detectors
Asbestos is an insulating medium, the induction effect in the electric field is not obvious, and the shielding of the electric field is weak, thereforeAsbestos wrapped metal can be detected by metal detectors.
