ABSTRACT:
A probe is disclosed for the nondestructive inspection of the interior walls of cylindrical recesses, comprising an elongated shaft having an ultrasonic transducer mounted thereon a predetermined distance from the longitudinal axis of the shaft and oriented for directing the axis of radiation of ultrasonic energy emanating from the transducer outwardly in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the shaft. In another embodiment, the probe comprises a shaft having a lateral extension whereon a first ultrasonic transducer is mounted at a predetermined distance from the longitudinal axis of the shaft and is oriented for directing the axis of radiation of ultrasonic energy emanating therefrom parallel to a line formed by the intersection of planes perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the shaft and lateral extension. A second ultrasonic transducer is mounted on the longitudinal axis of the shaft and is oriented for radially outward direction of the axis of radiation of ultrasonic energy emanating therefrom. The second ultrasonic transducer is effective for centering the probe within the hole under inspection. The predetermined distance of the first ultrasonic transducer relative to the longitudinal axis of the shaft determines the angle of refraction of the radiated ultrasonic energy and can be predetermined in accordance with the desired inspection mode.
