Abstract:
Device, system and method for emission and reception of ultrasonic signal to and from a test material, wherein the device comprising one or more wheel assemblies (1) wherein each wheel assembly (1) further comprising: one or more transducers (20) arranged partially or completely embedded in a coupling medium/partial or complete inner ring (52, 21), the wheel assembly is further comprising an orbital outer ring (23), and wherein the coupling medium/partial or complete inner ring (52, 21) is connected to an axle (22) in anon-rotating manner and the one or more transducers (20) are fixedly pointing towards the test material (15), and the interface between the inward facing surface (26) of the orbital outer ring (23) and/or the outward facing surface (25) of the coupling medium/partial or complete inner ring (52, 21) comprises a low friction material having an acoustic impedance in the same order as that of the orbital outer ring (23).
