A system for inspecting a flange member includes an inspection assembly support ring having an inner arc portion and an outer inspection assembly mount portion. The inner arc portion has an inner diameter structured to mount on the flange member, and the outer inspection assembly mount portion is rotationally coupled to the inner arc portion with a plurality of bearings interposed therebetween. The system further includes an inspection assembly mounted on the outer inspection assembly mount portion, and the inspection assembly includes an ultrasonic (UT) sensor on a pivot arm. The UT sensor is structured to interrogate a tapered surface of the flange member and to acquire UT interrogation data therefrom.
