Non-destructive evaluation system for inspecting welded and brazed joints

The present disclosure provides a non-destructive evaluation system for inspecting welded and brazed joints. An inspection probe and system for inspecting a welded or brazed joint includes a housing having an internal cavity and opposing tapered mounts disposed at a distal end portion of the housing. The distal ends of the opposing tapered supports define a pivot surface, and the opposing tapered supports are spaced apart to define an auxiliary housing. A plurality of transducer elements are disposed within the interior cavity of the housing, and a primary coupling medium made of a flexible semi-solid material is secured between the opposing tapered supports. The signal processing module is in communication with a data acquisition unit that is in communication with the transducer element. The inspection probe rotates across the joint, data from the transducer element is communicated to the signal processing module, and reconstructed and corrected images obtained from the transducer element at different angles
