    摘要: A method of measuring an object is described that uses an ultrasound inspection apparatus (56; 330) carried by a coordinate positioning apparatus (50). The ultrasound inspection apparatus (56; 330) includes an ultrasound transducer (92) and a coupling element (104) for contacting and acoustically coupling to the object to be inspected. The coupling element (104) comprises a self-lubricating material, such as a hydro-gel. The method comprises using the coordinate positioning apparatus to scan the coupling element (104) of the ultrasound inspection apparatus along a path on the surface of the object whilst ultrasound measurements are acquired.

    摘要: The invention relates to a system and a corresponding method for the inline inspection of pipelines. A pipeline inspection system according to the present invention comprises an inline inspection tool carrying an ultrasonic transducer system configured to emit ultrasonic energy pulses in response to electrical pulses and convert received ultrasonic energy into electrical signals; control circuitry coupled to the ultrasonic transducer system wherein the control circuitry is configured to control the ultrasonic transducer system and process signals received from the ultrasonic transducer system; and a gelled mass configured to form an elongated body surrounding the inline inspection tool during pipeline inspection.
