Skid Plate for Ultrasonic Testing |
| For ultrasonic immersion testing, it is especially critical that the ultrasonic transducer is normally oriented with respect to the surface of the test part. This orientation can be maintained by computer control if enough axes are available for full contour following. A cheaper way to follow a fairly regular but wavy surface is to use a skid plate such as the one shown below. This plate houses an ultrasonic probe and keeps it oriented properly as the plate moves across the surface of the test piece. | |
