AN APPARATUS FOR MEASURING THE AMOUNT OF OFFSET FROM CONCENTRICITY BETWEEN A FIRST METAL TUBE MOUNTED WITHIN A SECOND METAL TUBE COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF SENS ING COILS DISPOSED WITHIN SAID FIRST TUBE ADJACENT THE INTERIOR SURFACE THEREOF, MEANS FOR APPLYING AN A.-C. SIGNAL HAVING A PREDETERMINED FREQUENCY TO SAID SENSING COILS, THE FREQUENCY OF SAID A.-C. SIGNAL BEING SUCH THAT THE RESULTANT ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY FROM SAID SENSING COILS PASSES THROUGH SAID FIRST TUBE AND IS AT LEAST PARTIALLY ATTENUATED BY SAID SECOND TUBE, AND MEANS FOR DIFFERENTIALLY MEASURING THE EFFECTIVE IMPEDANCES OF SAID SENSING COILS, WHICH DIFFERENTIAL MEASUREMENTS ARE A FUNCTION OF THE AMOUNT OF OFFSET BETWEEN SAID FIRST AND SECOND TUBES.
