Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for examining a object under test. The apparatus can include a housing and a handle. The housing can include a sensing unit including a plurality of ultrasonic transducers, a circuit, a control unit, a display unit, and a communication interface. The circuit can include a memory, and a plurality of transceiver circuits coupled to the plurality of ultrasonic transducers. On receiving a triggering signal, the plurality of ultrasonic transducers emanates an ultrasonic beam to a object under test and can sense a reflected ultrasonic beam to generate a sensed signal. The control unit can process the received sensed signal to provide a processed data. The display unit can display the processed data. The communication interface can transmit the processed data to a monitoring device over a network. The handle has a frame configured to support the housing and allow the housing to rotate.

Inspection apparatus with integrated electronics

Inspection device

A method of ultrasonic inspection includes generating, by a phased array ultrasonic probe, a first ultrasonic beam propagating in a fluid and incident at a first angle to a target surface in response to receipt of first instructions. Ultrasonic echoes from first beam reflection by the target are measured and corresponding ultrasonic measurement signals are output. At least one environmental sensor measures at least one fluid property and outputs corresponding environmental signals. One or more processors determine a current speed of sound within the fluid from the ultrasonic measurement signals and environmental signals. Second instructions including a second angle are generated by the processors, based on the current speed of sound, when the current speed of sound differs from a predetermined speed of sound by more than a speed threshold. The ultrasonic probe generates a second ultrasonic beam at the second angle in response to receipt of the second instructions.

Dynamic adjustment of phased array parameters for ultrasonic inspection

Systems and methods for improved ultrasonic testing are provided. An ultrasonic testing system can include an ultrasonic probe and an ultrasonic controller in electrical communication with the ultrasonic probe. The ultrasonic probe can include a plurality of ultrasonic transducers. The ultrasonic controller can be configured to generate one or more driving signals operative to cause the plurality of ultrasonic transducers to generate respective ultrasonic waves. A combination of the ultrasonic waves can form an ultrasonic waveform having one or more characteristics specified by the one or more driving signals. The ultrasonic controller can be further configured to change the one or more driving signals to adjust at least one characteristic of the ultrasonic waveform.
