Abstract

Sonda para la inspección de tubos. Incluye un alojamiento de la sonda alargado (13) que tiene una serie de juntas flexibles (20) para permitir que la sonda (10) se coloque en el interior del tubo. Unos brazos de guía radialmente extensibles (16) están fijados al extremo inferior del alojamiento (13) para colocar la sonda en el interior del tubo. Un peso estabilizador (14) está fijado al alojamiento (13) adyacente a los brazos de guía (16) para evitar un movimiento inestable de la sonda (10). La sonda (10) incluye un accionamiento giratorio (22) para girar los brazos de guía radialmente extensibles (16) respecto al alojamiento (13). Están dispuestos sensores (32) en los extremos de cada brazo de guía (16) para permitir que la superficie interna se inspeccione completamente. Un accionamiento axial mueve la sonda a lo largo de la longitud del tubo.Tube inspection probe. It includes an elongated probe housing (13) that has a series of flexible joints (20) to allow the probe (10) to be placed inside the tube. Radially extendable guide arms (16) are attached to the lower end of the housing (13) to place the probe inside the tube. A stabilizing weight (14) is fixed to the housing (13) adjacent to the guide arms (16) to prevent unstable movement of the probe (10). The probe (10) includes a rotary drive (22) to rotate the radially extendable guide arms (16) with respect to the housing (13). Sensors (32) are arranged at the ends of each guide arm (16) to allow the internal surface to be fully inspected. An axial drive moves the probe along the length of the tube.
