Encircling probes are used to inspect tube, bar and wire with their main application being the detection of surface breaking cracks and metal sorting. ETher NDE Encircling Probes are available in two types; Round and Square. The main differences between the two are simply described here as:
Round Encircling Probes used to Inspect - Round Bar, Round Tube, Wire, Metal
Sorting Applications, Heat Treatment Applications.
Square Encircling Probes used to Inspect - Square Bar, Square Tube, Box
Section, Metal Sorting Applications and Heat Treatment Applications.
The Key Features for our encircling probes include:
• Additional wear guides can be added to standard probes, to increase wear resistance, these can be made in PET or Stainless Steel.
• Fitted with a Rapid series
Benefits...
• Inspects round, rectangular and square shapes.
• Small range using BNC connectors, absolute and differential available.
• Broad frequency range.
Applications...
Absolute – Reflection and Differential -
Reflection Encircling
Probes - for use with inline or off-line high-speed inspection of tubes, wires, bars, etc.
Absolute – Reflection
Probes ideal for metal sorting, wall thinning and Heat Treatment Applications.
Differential – Reflection
Probes ideal for defect detection applications, such as cracks and pitting.
