Abstract:
A spherical body inspection apparatus including a support arrangement realized to support a spherical body during an inspection procedure; a probe arrangement comprising a plurality of ultrasonic testing probes arranged about the spherical body such that the ultrasonic testing probes target a common test point at the surface of the spherical body; and a displacer for effecting at least one relative rotational displacement between the spherical body and the probe arrangement. Also described is a method of inspecting a spherical body.
