Automated equipment which will perform scans of this type without a probe<br />

guide are available. The best of them automatically carry out standardization<br />

before and after testing, and provide a printout or computer record of the<br />

whole process. An alternative to using standard surface probes is to use a<br />

tangential probe, as shown in FIG. 5.13b. The probe is moulded to fit the<br />

bead seat radius being tested, then the coil is fitted into a shallow groove cut<br />

into the probe body. The whole bead seat radius is tested in the one scan.<br />

The sensitivity is not as great as that of a small pencil probe but is adequate<br />

for the purpose of the test.<br />
