DEVICE FOR THE NON-DESTRUCTIVE INSPECTION OF A TEST OBJECT BY MEANS OF ULTRASOUND, METHOD FOR OPERATING SUCH A DEVICE AND METHOD FOR THE NON-DESTRUCTIVE INSPECTION OF A TEST OBJECT BY MEANS OF ULTRASOUND

摘要

The invention relates to a device (1) for the non-destructive testing of a test object by means of ultrasound. Here, the device comprises (1) a control unit (10) provided for driving a phased array ultrasonic test probe (24) and a display (12). The control unit (10) is configured to operate the phased array test probe (24) in the pulse echo operation and to control the insonification angle T of the phased array test probe (24) into the test object. The pulse echo from the test object received by the phased array test probe (24) is analyzed by the control unit (10), wherein the control unit (10) generates an A-scan (14) or/and a B-scan (16) of a received pulse echo on the display (12). The invention further relates to a method for operating such a device (1) and a method for the non-destructive inspection of a test object by means of ultrasound in accordance with the TCG method, using a phased array ultrasonic test probe (24).
