18 CONCLUSIONS 1. For the proper monitoring and evaluation of the foreign materials contacted on the secondary side of the tubes, it is imperative to introduce LP standard tube. 2. LP materials are categorized as ferro/non-ferro and characteristic EC signal patterns were shown according to the LP properties. 3. Soft and hard sludge was properly fabricated and could be applicable for site sludge pile simulation 4. By applying EC LP STD tubes, the detectability, identification and contact geometry between tubes was clearly enhanced. 5. EC LP STD tubes has been successfully developed and customized for the site application.
