Patent ID: 10900868

Abstract:
The present invention relates to an ultrasonic probe adapter for ultrasonic testing of toothed test specimens, an ultrasonic testing method and an ultrasonic testing system for detecting flaws in toothed test specimens. In particular, the present invention relates to an ultrasonic probe adapter (1, 1′) for ultrasonic testing of toothed test specimens, in particular of externally toothed test specimens (100, 100′, 101), comprising a probe side (10, 10′) which preferably faces away from a test specimen (100, 100′, 101) during ultrasonic testing, a test specimen side (20, 20′) which preferably faces a test specimen (100, 100′, 101) during ultrasonic testing, wherein the probe side (10, 0′) and the test specimen side (20, 20′) each have a longitudinal extension (L), a thickness (D) extending from the probe side (10, 10′) to the test specimen side (20, 20′), and a width (B) extending orthogonally to the thickness (D) and orthogonally to the longitudinal extension of the probe side (10, 10′) and/or to the longitudinal extension of the test specimen side (20, 20′), wherein a test toothing (21) is arranged on the test specimen side (20, 20′).
