NDT Probes FAQ

How does a transducer work?

An ultrasonic transducer converts a pulse of electrical energy from the flaw detector into mechanical energy in the form of sound waves that travel through the part being inspected. The sound waves returning from the part are converted by the transducer into a pulse of electrical energy that can be processed and displayed by the flaw detector. The transducer essentially acts like a speaker and microphone, generating and receiving pulses of sound waves at frequencies much higher than the range of human hearing.

How does phased array ultrasound work?

A phased array ultrasonic probe is an advanced inspection tool used in non-destructive testing (NDT) to evaluate the integrity of materials and structures. Unlike traditional ultrasonic probes, it uses multiple small transducer elements that can be individually controlled to generate and steer sound beams at varying angles and focal points. This flexibility allows for rapid scanning, precise defect detection, and thorough coverage without physically repositioning the probe. The benefits include faster inspections, improved accuracy, and reduced downtime, making them ideal for complex or high-precision applications.

What is an eddy current probe?

Eddy current probes are a type of nondestructive testing tool. An alternating current flows through a wire coil in the eddy current probe to generate an oscillating magnetic field. When used on a conductive material, like a metal part, a circular flow of electrons moves through the metal. This, in turn, generates its own magnetic field, which interacts with the coil in the probe. An eddy current flaw detector interprets these signals to help inspectors identify potential flaws or defects.
