The probes can be built in smaler housings at a lower cost level. The probes can be used as single or dual transducers. They generate shear waves for the detection in the base material and longitudinal waves for the detection through the weld or the buttering. Creeping waves for the detection at the nearsurface area and mode conversion with CE2 and CE1 for flaw detection and classification can be generated. For sizing ,characterization and flaw shape modelling, several different angles can be used at one probe position.
All exit points for one scanning direction are always well defined.
They can be activated simultaniously durring one scan. A combination of Phased Array Probes and Standard Probes in one arrangement for special sizing efforts is also possible. The connectors and cabels are optimized for less noise and havy conditions like underwater inspections up to 40 m. This algorithme can be used for filtering indications by their echo shape but can be also switch of for collecting full A-Scans. The expanded evaluation features were spezified and continously tested by inspection personnel.
