Abstract:
A system is provided having a probe assembly configured to inspect components of an assembled flange connection when the probe assembly is disposed within a bore of the components. The probe assembly includes a shaft configured to be aligned with an axis of the assembled flange connection, one or more ultrasound probes coupled to the shaft, and one or more encoders. The one or more ultrasound probes are configured to interface with an interior surface of the bore of the components, to emit ultrasound signals into the components, and to receive ultrasound signals from the components. The one or more encoders are coupled to the shaft and are configured to determine a position of the one or more ultrasound probes relative to a reference point of the assembled flange connection during an inspection of components of the assembled flange connection.

Claim (Index 2):
The probe assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising an arm disposed between the shaft and one or more ultrasound probes in the phased array, wherein the arm comprises a movable segment configured to adjust radially relative to the axis to interface the one or more ultrasound probes in the phased array with the interior surface of the bore.
