摘要： The present invention relates to a scanner having a flexible probe which is an apparatus capable of being utilized for an inspection on a weld zone of a general ferrite material and a stainless material and allowing an inspection to be performed on a fitting weld zone where it is difficult for a general phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) probe to approach. A scanner having a flexible probe according to the present invention includes a probe fixing body (110) which moves while coming into contact with a surface of a bent fitting pipe and to which a probe body (101) is fixed, a flexible connecting chain part (120) installed to be connected to one end of the probe fixing body (110) and having a freely bendable structure, a sensor installation part (130) installed on an end of the flexible connecting chain part (120) and configured to move while pressed against the surface of the fitting pipe, a sensor (140) which is connected to the probe body (101) in a flexible state and of which an end is installed on the sensor installation part (130) and scans a weld zone of the fitting pipe, and an encoder part (150) installed to be connected at one side of the probe fixing body (110) and configured to move while pressed against the fitting pipe and detect a moving distance and a position.
