A SIGMA Bore Probe is an ultrasonic inspection apparatus in which a variety of transducers can be included. One SIGMA Bore Probe can perform multiple inspections simultaneously: in the axial and circumferential directions for the O.D. and I.D., including the I.D. surface with a creeping wave, while measuring wall thickness.

The SIGMA Bore Probe has no absolute dimensions, the diameter can be changed to accommodate various bore dimensions, the body length can be changed to add more transducers. The limitations are based on the law of physics and the imagination.

The SIGMA Bore Probe can be designed to contain refracting wedges which are held in contact against the I.D. by integral opposing ball plungers, or contain immersion facets and lenses which are held centered in the bore by radially mounted integral ball plungers. Flooding the bore with water normally fulfills the coupling requirements.
