Advantages of small-footprint probes
- Access to confined areas (A00 probe has an 8 × 8 mm footprint)
- Cable connector can come out from either the side or the top (A0 only).
- Special-design small-footprint wedge
- 10L16-A00 is used for aerospace scribe-mark applications.
Advantages of near-wall probes
- Shortened dead zone at both ends (1.5 mm between center of first or last element and housing edge)
- Well suited for composite channel inspections
- Used for C-scan inspections of composites (delamination, disbonding, and porosity)
