Abstract
A flexible test assembly is disclosed for use in nondestructive testing of ferrous objects of a variety of cross-sections. Spaced test heads are fixed to a non-magnetic, flexible band member. Each test head includes a body which houses a test probe. The flexible band member is connected to a clevis assembly through a spring biased double hinged connecting assembly. An urging means urges the clevis toward a workpiece surface to bring wear shoes of the test heads into engagement and tension the flexible test assembly into conformity with the surface of the workpiece.
