Abstract
In glass bottle inspection, a pulse of acoustic wave is injected into a portion of the glass bottle forming a closed path for the propagation of the acoustic wave pulse so that the injected acoustic wave pulse travels round the closed plath, and acoustic wave pulse is detected while it is travelling round the closed path. Whether there is a defect along the closed path is judged in accordance with the magnitude of the detected acoustic wave pulse.
