IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO ULTRASONIC INSPECTION APPARATUS
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4818912
An ultrasonic inspection apparatus for weld joints of tubular bodies is designed which does not incur difficulties due to cable twist and which can be used to inspect a weld joint whose plane is oblique to the axis of the tubular body. The apparatus comprises a non-rotatable ultrasonic test probe insertable within the body, a rotatable reflector for reflecting ultrasonic signals from the probe toward a weld joint, and means for rotating the reflector to inspect the weld joint in a sequence of peripheral scans. Means also provided to cause the scan to follow an oblique path in inspecting oblique weld joints. (D.L.C.)
