　This paper describes the measurement of wall thinning by continuous wave electromagnetic acoustic resonance (CW-EMAR) and pulse wave electromagnetic acoustic resonance (PW-EMAR). Simulated pipe wall thinning specimens are measured. The two methods show accurate results in the areas with a low variation of thickness, and the accuracy decreases when the thickness changes drastically. The two methods are analyzed by using the finite element method. The results show that with the increase of the bottom inclination, the accuracy of the two methods is reduced. For thin specimens, the reason for the larger error of CW-EMAR method is due to that CW-EMAR method is more easily affected by ultrasonic scattering and nonuniform distribution of static magnetic field.
