Abstract:
An apparatus for bolt inspection are presented. The bolt has a cylindrical threaded surface delimited by a pair of end faces that are opposite to each other. An ultrasonic transducer device contacts one of the pair of end faces for performing a scan operation. A guide structure is engaged with the bolt that guides a motion of the ultrasonic transducer device such that only a portion of a transducer contact surface contacts the one of the pair of end faces during the scan operation. The guide structure delimits a radial extent of the motion of the ultrasonic transducer device during the scan operation.

Claim (Index 9):
The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the ultrasonic transducer device includes a piezoelectric crystal, and wherein the transducer contact surface is a surface of the piezoelectric crystal.
