ABSTRACT:
A wheel probe for ultrasonically inspecting a component, such as the wall of a pipeline, is of hollow form to define a chamber in which an ultrasonic transducer is located. The transducer is supported by a mounting which occupies a major proportion of the chamber and comprises material for attenuating background noise in the wheel probe. The chamber is closed by an end member which also comprises material for attenuating background noise, while an elastomeric tire on the rim of the wheel probe extends over a portion of reduced diameter of the rim to attenuate unwanted ultrasound.
