Abstract:
1. A probe arrangement for the coupling of ultrasonic signals to a planar component to be tested by water jet technology, the probe arrangement comprising: at least one preflow chamber with at least one water inlet; a flow chamber located downstream of at least one preflow chamber, wherein the flow chamber extends through a slot-shaped water outlet opening to a lower surface of the probe arrangement; a probe detachably arranged outside of at least one of the flow chamber and the at least one preflow chamber in a freely accessible manner, wherein a a base body for the reception of the probe; and a sliding plate comprising the slot-shaped water outlet opening, the sliding plate forming a lower surface of the probe arrangement on the component side, whose planar extension along the component is larger than the planar extension of the base body along the component, wherein a waterflow forms between the lower surface of the probe arrangement and a surface area of the component to be tested.
