3.19.4 Probe Design<br />

Standard ACFM probes contain both a field induction coil and magnetic field<br />

(voltage) sensor in a single probe head and multiple conductor cable. Probes<br />

are typically designed for specific applications, such as a “standard weld<br />

probe.” Probe design is optimized to follow a toe weld and reduce probe<br />

noise caused by probe movement.With toe welds, a standard weld inspection<br />

would require two probe scans, one for each toe. Welds up to 20mm wide can<br />

be scanned this way. Because of the positional sensitivity of pencil-style<br />

probes, they should be used only in applications requiring pencil probes to<br />

gain access. For the various applications, the manufacturer’s instruction<br />

manuals and recommended company test procedures should be consulted<br />

and followed.<br />
