DEVICE AND METHOD FOR THE ULTRASOUND MONITORING, MEASURING, AND TRACKING OF HEAT-SEALED SEAM BETWEEN TWO METAL PARTS

摘要

The invention relates to a device for the ultrasound monitoring, measuring, and tracking of a heat-sealed seam between two metal parts, including at least one ultrasonic transceiver (15). The device includes a pad (11) having a planar surface (12) capable of contacting a wall of one of the two parts and comprising a recess (13) for retaining the ultrasonic transceiver (15) along a predetermined direction relative to said wall, an ultrasonic transceiver (15) cooling means having a temperature lower than the boundary operating temperature thereof, and a means for placing and spreading a couplant material between the ultrasonic transceiver (15) sole plate and said wall.
