Abstract

A transducer device for an ultrasonic flaw detection system comprises a right angle rectangular block with one longitudinal edge being shaped to accurately conform to the curvature of the surface to be inspected. An ultrasonic sound wave beam in the block is reflected 90.degree. by a rotating mirror to cut a 360.degree. arc path through the surface to be inspected.
