"The most stable probe to deploy, using three point contact. Produces the most uniform field over the largest area and should be used whenever access allows"

Bottom face is fitted with stainless steel feet and replaceable if worn. Sensors are protected by a high wear resistance ceramic probe nose.

"This probe gives good access into tight spaces, under rat holes etc."

These allow inspection of tight-access areas, allowing difficult geometries to be inspected from various approach angles.

Sensors are protected by a high wear resistance ceramic probe nose.

"Similar to Mini Probes but with smaller sensor coils. Gives greater sensitivity to small cracks"

These probes allow tight-access inspection and are specifically designed to locate shallow/small defects.

A Unique feature available for Micro Probes is the "4-Sensor" option which automatically estimates defect length during manual sizing.

Sensors are protected by a high wear resistance ceramic probe nose.

"Ideal for inspecting multiple thread profiles using the supplied interchangeable shoes"

The interchangeable probe shoes allow the probe to fit a variety of thread profiles and diameters.

The probe has high durability epoxy cast body.

"The arrays perform fast wide area inspection with software that allows differentiation between defects and features"

These probes are designed to span large areas, typically inspecting across a region or a geometric profile. Software allows visualisation of plan views of an inspection area using colour contour plots to gauge defect density and location.

All array probes feature full position feedback using either optical encoder or rotary encoder with sprung wheel, providing precise defect location and sizing detail.

Array probes are often manufactured to suit requirements, providing a 'fit' for a distinct geometry or inspection path, for example threads, turbine roots, lap welds etc.

Typically 8 rows of sensors and a Y Field capability provide an excellent analysis of potentially defective areas. A few further examples are listed below. All probes below have high frequency versions available.

"Thread probes are available to cover a wide range of common drillstring connection sizes"

With appropriate adapters fitted, this probe can be used to inspect a variety of pin and box threads - commonly NC38, NC 46, NC50, 4 ½ IF, 6 5 / 8 Reg, 7 5 / 8 Reg and HT40 connectors. Probes for other thread forms are also available.

Integral stainless steel scrapers engage in the thread and closely follow the thread profile. The scrapers remove dirt and contaminants from the thread and prevent wear to the thread sensors which are held close to but not in contact with the thread.

"When the process was hot and critical, and shutting it down just wasn't an option, the high temperature probe certainly saved us money"

Suitable for continuous contact with the inspection material up to 500 Degrees C.

High temperature probe types can be manufactured on request to cover awkward geometries as required.

The electronic components used are specially high temperature rated. The probe nose is made from ceramic and the handle from a high temperature rated material.
