Squirters

Squirters

Squirters are a variant or immersion testing. They use  columns of pressurized water for coupling.

  1. In the case of through transmission squirters, a squirter is positioned on each side of the plate
  2. A probe is inserted in each squirter
  3. Pressurized water is supplied to the squirters
  4. Ultrasound waves can travel from the transmitter probe to the receiver probe

Positioned by automated robotic arms according to a pre-set pattern, squirters can inspect complex shapes.
