The 90-degree design of Right Angle Surface probes enables inspection of areas with restricted access. Belonging to the family of detachable stainless-steel shaft surface probes, right angle probes feature small coils and a small-diameter housing built for higher frequencies. They are usually used for surface breaking crack detection.
Advantages
- Suitable for small defect detection.
- Reaches areas inaccessible to standard probes.
- Drop helps to inspect around fasteners.
- Available with Powerlink™ technology.
- Wide selection of lengths and drops.
- Available with bridge or reflection configuration.
Applications
- Through paint inspection of aircraft rivets.
- Aircraft structure inspection, aircraft unit inspection, and aircraft engine inspection.
- Through paint detection of stress corrosion cracking in stainless and carbon steel.
- Surface crack inspection of manufacturing and transportation equipment.
These probes are compatible with the NORTEC 600
The lightweight NORTEC 600 series eddy current flaw detectors incorporate a full range of features, including automatic internal balancing of the coils and a VGA output connector. Various models also include features such as conductivity and coating thickness measurement, rotating scanner compatibility, and dual frequency operation.
