A plug for inserting into an end of a tubular component to be inspected, including an air discharge unit receivable within the tubular component and having an end surface with a plurality of air outlets defined therein, a flow-directing body receivable within the component extending from the end surface of the air discharge unit with the plurality of outlets located radially outwardly of the flow-directing body, and a sealing member connected to the air discharge unit and having an extended configuration where the sealing member extends outwardly of the perimeter of the air discharge unit. A sealing assembly for a plate component to be inspected and a method of inspecting an outer surface of a component are also discussed. The plug and sealing assembly act to prevent an inspection coupling fluid from flowing on non-inspected surfaces of the component. |
