GENERAL ELEKTRIC SWB 60-2 Winkel Prob 2 MHz, 14x14mm
GENERAL ELECTRIC SWB 60-2 Winkel Prob 2 MHz, 14x14mm is an angle beam probe used in industrial Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) applications, specifically for ultrasonic flaw detection. Its 60-degree angle makes it ideal for specific weld geometries and defect orientations. Typical application areas include:
- Weld Inspection: Detection of defects such as cracks, voids, and lack of fusion in weld seams, particularly those with V and K weld preparations.
- Casting Inspection: Identification of flaws in cast parts that require inspection at specific angles.
- Forging Inspection: Detection of cracks and other defects in forged components that need to be scanned from specific angles.
- Pipe and Pipeline Inspection: Identification of damage such as corrosion and cracks in pipes that require inspection at specific angles.
- General Material Inspection: Detection of internal and surface flaws in situations where better defect reflections can be obtained at specific angles.
GENERAL ELECTRIC (now known as Waygate Technologies under Baker Hughes) SWB 60-2 is an angle beam probe that generates ultrasonic waves focused at a 60-degree angle. Its 2 MHz frequency and 14x14 mm crystal size provide good penetration in thicker materials, while the 60-degree angle enhances sensitivity to specific defect orientations. "Winkel Prob" is German for "angle probe." The SWB series offers narrow beam spread and good resolution, making it an effective 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.
