検査技術研究所 List of Products and Services

The probe, also known as a transducer, is an essential item for ultrasonic testing. KGK, as a specialized manufacturer of probes, has a wealth of experience in delivering a wide variety of probes. This document introduces special probes from KGK that are not listed in the catalog. To deepen your understanding of probes, we also provide some explanations about testing methods and probes, along with product introductions. We present unique and proven probes such as small probes, thin probes, array probes, longitudinal wave angled probes, variable angle probes, creeping probes, and others. Please use this material as a reference when considering probes.

• Flaw detection testing

Special-purpose probes (custom probes, made-to-order probes) Examples of special-purpose probes: ● Low-frequency probes for applications such as flaw detection in carbon, rubber, concrete, wood, etc. ● High-temperature probes for applications such as flaw detection and thickness measurement of high-temperature materials. ● Pencil-type probes suitable for thickness measurement in uneven surfaces. ● Insertion-type probes that can be used by being inserted into pipes. ● Roller probes (tire-type probes) that can be used for pulse reflection, transmission methods, etc. ● Airborne ultrasonic probes designed for flaw detection in air. ● Guided wave probes for guided wave flaw detection. ● We also accept inquiries for probes and fixtures for other special applications.

• Flaw detection testing

Developed in 1988 as the world's smallest probe, the ultra-compact probe "Chibi-Takun" and the ultra-thin probe "Pechako-san" are available as vertical probes and immersion probes. Their small size and thinness excel in flaw detection in narrow spaces and small areas.

Ultrasonic Testing Probes Comprehensive Catalog Ultrasonic testing is an essential non-destructive testing method used in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, railway, shipbuilding, construction (such as towers, bridges, roads, and buildings), as well as in the gas and power industries, for the manufacturing and maintenance inspection of products and equipment. The Inspection Technology Research Institute is a specialized manufacturer of ultrasonic testing probes, which are indispensable for ultrasonic testing. The comprehensive catalog includes various probes and probe cables, including standard vertical probes and angled probes, as well as special-purpose probes.

• probe

● This is a probe that can perform flaw detection in accordance with the TOFD method standard NDIS2424. ● A lineup of probes that can be adapted to a minimum plate thickness of 4mm. ● Capable of being manufactured in a frequency range of 1MHz to 20MHz.

• Flaw detection testing

● This is a probe used for phased array, TFM, FMC (aperture synthesis), etc. ● Types include linear array, annular array, and matrix array. ● Standard support for 8 to 256 channels (other channel counts are also available upon request). ● There are many proven applications for vertical inspection, angled inspection, immersion inspection, and using gel wedges, among others. ● Please consult us regarding frequency, transducer dimensions, channel count, connector shapes, etc.

• Flaw detection testing

● Flaw detection is possible with a dry coupling. ● Scanning is possible with a small amount of water (like a mist spray). ● Can be used for flaw detection on test specimens that are not suitable for liquid application. ● Probes are manufactured to match the shape of array probes to conventional type transducers. ● Manufactured to fit the shape of the test specimen. ● The use of gel sheets allows for the propagation of transverse waves within the test. ● Material that does not contain moisture (non-hygroscopic and does not dry out).
