ABSTRACT:
An eddy current inspection probe provides multiple interchangeable configurations for enabling an inspector to reach most or all portions of most or all turbine blades within a combustion turbine by inserting the probe through an inspection port, without disassembling the turbine. The probe shaft contains the electronic signal wire for the inspection tip and a port for a video probe, thereby facilitating use of the video probe and protecting these components. The inspection tip connector at the end of the main shaft is pivotally secured to the shaft, and may be set at any desired angle by using a semirigid or rigid member passing through the shaft, and connected to lever within the handle. Any one of a plurality of probe tips and shaft extensions may be selected to configure the inspection probe to reach a desired location within the turbine.
