Abstract
A device for quality testing hot test objects, comprises at least one coolant-cooled rotatable body, and at least one transducer (for example a surface transducer coil) eccentrically mounted in or on the body to move along an endless path in close proximity to a surface of the test object. The transducer is conncted directly or indirectly to an associated sensing circuit. A device according to the invention is characterized in that the flow of coolant is adapted to take place via an inlet channel and an outlet channel, both of which are disposed close to the axis of rotation of the body, and at least one further channel extending between the inlet and outlet channel to convey coolant at least close to the transducer(s).
Claims7
A device for determining the quality of a hot test object, comprising a body mounted for rotation about an axis and at least one transducer eccentrically mounted on the body and thus adapted to move along a closed path adjacent to a surface of the test object and an associated sensing means;
- a coolant flow within the body takes place via an inlet channel and an outlet channel each adjacent to the axis of rotation of the body and, connecting said channels, at least one further channel which conveys coolant past the vicinity of the at least one transducer;
- and
- the coolant flow in one of the inlet and outlet channels flows past a packing seal surrounding the axis of rotation of the body.
A device for determining the quality of a hot test object, comprising:
- a body mounted for rotation about an axis;
- at least one transducer eccentrically mounted on the body for movement along a closed path adjacent to a surface of the test object and an associated sensing means;
- and
- a coolant flow within the body takes place via an inlet channel and an outlet channel each adjacent to the axis of rotation of the body, said outlet channel at least partially surrounding said inlet channel and connected thereto in a closed loop via cooling conduits in said body.
