ABSTRACT:
A tool for manipulating an ultrasonic inspection transducer is actuated to move the transducer over the surface of an irregular weld body. The weld body disclosed, joins the nozzle of a reactor vessel to its vessel, the irregularity of the weld body defined by the intersection of the two cylinders. The transducer is moved over the surface of the weld body and actuated to scan through a predetermined angle in relation to the changing aspect of the geometry of the weld body by a cam mounted at the pivoting center of the tool.
