5.1.4.3 Two special-purpose probes should be noted:<br />

a) Ring probes<br />

Ring probes are doughnut-shaped probes used for the detection of both<br />

surface, and subsurface cracks or other flaws at fastener holes when the<br />

testing is carried out with the fasteners installed (see FIG. 5.17). These<br />

probes are capable of detecting cracks which do not extend far from the hole,<br />

for example, those which do not extend beyond the head of the fastener, and<br />

therefore may not be detected using a spot probe adjacent to the fastener.<br />

Ring probes are commonly absolute reflection probes and may be shielded.<br />

detection<br />
