Les sondes IRIS sont bien adaptées pour les inspections des tubes du secteur de la pétrochimie et des parties classiques des centrales nucléaires. Ils utilisent un faisceau ultrasonore pour inspecter la surface interne du tube à structure hélicoïdale, ce qui permet de s'assurer que toute la longueur de le tube est inspectée. Les sondes IRIS, qui fonctionnent en mode par réflexion, servent à mesurer l'épaisseur des parois, les pertes de matériau et l'orientation des défauts sur des tubes de 0,5 po à 3 po de diamètre interne.
Various components are necessary to "build" an IRIS probe. The components are interchangeable and must be chosen according to the tube dimensions.
To build an IRIS probe, the following components are necessary:

IRIS turbines are propelled by water pressure to make them rotate at approximately 40 r/s. They include a 45° angled mirror that deflects the ultrasonic beam towards the tube wall.

IRIS probe cables have two functions: they supply the water pressure required by the turbine; and they carry the ultrasonic signal with the use of a small coaxial cable. The coaxial cable has a Microdot connector on the probe end and a BNC connector on the instrument / pump end. The water is supplied by the pump through a quick-connect 1/8 in. brass fitting.
