GENERAL ELEKTRIC GE SWB 70-2 Winkel-Probe 2 MHz, 14x14mm
GENERAL ELECTRIC GE SWB 70-2 Winkel-Probe 2 MHz, 14x14mm is a small-sized angle beam probe used in industrial Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) applications, specifically for ultrasonic flaw detection. Compared to the MWB series, it is preferred for inspecting larger and thicker materials. Typical application areas include:
- Weld Inspection: Detection of defects such as cracks, voids, and lack of fusion in thick-walled weld seams.
- Casting Inspection: Identification of flaws like porosity and inclusions in large cast parts.
- Forging Inspection: Detection of cracks and other defects in large forged components.
- Pipe and Pipeline Inspection: Identification of damage such as corrosion and cracks in thick-walled pipes.
- Bridge and Structural Steel Inspection: Detection of flaws in large structural elements.
- Railroad Wheel and Rail Inspection: Identification of cracks and damage in these critical parts.
GENERAL ELECTRIC (now known as Waygate Technologies under Baker Hughes) GE SWB 70-2 is a small-sized angle beam probe that generates ultrasonic waves focused at a 70-degree angle. Its 2 MHz frequency and 14x14 mm crystal size provide better penetration for inspecting thicker and larger volume materials. "Winkel-Probe" is German for "angle probe." The SWB series offers narrow beam spread and high resolution, making it a versatile tool for various testing applications. This probe is connected to an ultrasonic flaw detector and is used to analyze the reflections of sound waves sent into the material to determine the location and size of defects. European standard (EN) compliant models are available.
