Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and method for cleaning a surface within a vessel by detonation. SOLUTION: An exemplary pressure probe includes a body 170 having an exterior surface 180 with a forwardly-convergent nose portion 172. A passageway 210 extends between a first port 212 in the body 170 and a pressure sensor 202. A support member holds the body in an operative position. A cooling fluid circuit 218 extends at least partially through the support member and body. The pressure probe may be used in conjunction with the detonative cleaning apparatus.
