"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. |

saved us money"
Suitable for
continuous contact with the inspection material up to
500 Degrees C.
High temperature
