MAGNETICALLY COUPLED INTEGRATED ULTRASONIC TESTING AND CATHODIC PROTECTION MEASUREMENT PROBE

The invention discloses magnetically coupled integrated probes and probe systems, attachable to the robotic arms of a remotely operated vehicle to perform both cathodic protection (CP) voltage measurements and ultrasonic testing (UT) thickness measurements at an underwater surface. The integrated probe system can include a spring for coupling to an ROV end effector. An ultrasonic probe is disposedwithin and extends from the sleeve housing. A magnetic carrier, flux concentrator, and gimbal surround a portion of the ultrasonic probe, and one or more electrically conductive legs extend from thefront surface of the gimbal to function as a CP probe. The legs are arranged about the ultrasonic probe, which has a flexible membrane exposed at the front surface of the gimbal, such that during inspection, at least one leg contacts the surface and the ultrasonic probe is sufficiently proximate to provide substantially simultaneous CP and UT measurements. 本申请公开了磁耦合型集成探头和探头系统，所述磁耦合型集成探头和探头系统可附接到遥控运载工具的机械臂以在水下表面处执行阴极保护(CP)电
