PURPOSE:To avoid a waste of a medium by connecting a fluid medium recycling circuit to a probe adaptor having a fluid medium storing chamber whose upper part is opened, to which a probe is installed, and a medium collecting chamber formed in its circumference. CONSTITUTION:A probe adaptor 10 has a medium storing chamber A which is formed by a chamber wall 11 of the inside and to which a probe 20 is installed, and a medium collecting chamber B formed by a chamber wall 12 of its circumference, the zenithal part of the chamber wall 12 is stuck to the surface of an object W to be flaw-detected, and the probe 20 is pointed vertically to a flaw detecting surface. In this state, a medium S is fed into the storing chamber A from a vessel by a pump 32 of a medium recycling circuit, and a scanning operation is executed in a state that the inside of the storing chamber A is filled so that the flaw detecting surface is wetted by the medium S. In this way, the medium S can be applied automatically to the flaw detecting surface and the medium S is interposed without waste between the surface and the probe 20, therefore, the transmission and reception by the probe 20 can be stabilized.

The shape of the probe adapter QO is not limited to the illustrated example, but in short, the probe adapter QO is a medium storage where a probe is attached, the top is open so as not to interfere with ultrasonic transmission and reception of the probe, and an appropriate amount of medium can be stored. and a recovery chamber that receives the medium overflowing from the upper edge of the storage chamber, and is grounded so that the probe is oriented perpendicular to the flaw detection surface of the object to be tested. It is something. In addition, in order to facilitate the application of the medium to the flaw detection surface during scanning operations, the height of the zenith surface of the chamber wall (1]) forming the medium storage chamber is adjusted to the height of the outer chamber that is grounded to the flaw detection surface as shown in the figure. It is desirable that it be slightly lower than the wall @. The difference in height (cl) [: the gap between the flaw detection surface and the chamber wall αυ zenith surface] depends on the roughness of the flaw detection surface and the viscosity of the medium, but the height difference (cl) [: the gap between the flaw detection surface and the chamber wall αυ zenith surface] depends on the roughness of the flaw detection surface, the viscosity of the medium, etc. A few millimeters is sufficient.

As shown in the figure, a soft material such as a sponge is attached as a grounding member (13) to the zenith of the outer chamber wall α group that is grounded to the flaw detection surface of the adapter αO, thereby stabilizing the grounding to the flaw detection surface and facilitating scanning. If necessary, several similar grounding members αa may be installed on the top of the storage chamber walls.The zenith surface of each chamber wall αH2 is normally a flat surface, but , to stabilize the grounding,
The probe can be shaped to suit the surface shape of the object being tested (for example, a curved surface such as a tube body), and the probe can be detachably attached to the storage chamber (A) so that the adapter can be replaced at any time if desired. May be made to be mounted.

In the medium recycling circuit, in order to remove impurities (such as rust attached to the surface of the object to be inspected) mixed into the medium recovered from the adapter 00, the medium container 0 is removed, for example, as shown in the figure. ) A strainer (g) may be attached to the tip of the suction pipe (c) to separate it from the circulating flow of the medium. In addition, this recycling circuit directly transfers the medium drawn out from the recovery chamber (G) of the adapter to the medium container (G).
Instead of returning the waste to the 3D, it may be temporarily collected and stored in a container other than the medium container, and after the foreign matter is removed from the furnace, it may be replenished into the medium container 0υ.
