Abstract

A system (50) and method for internally inspecting a tubular composite part (10) so as to identify and measure adhesive flow therewithin are provided, along with an endpoint adapter (30) assembly of a near infrared (NIR) spectrometer (54). The system (50) includes an end point adapter that fits within and maintains a consistent cross-sectional position within the tubular composite part (10). The system (50) also includes a plurality of optical fibers (40) extending radially outward from the end point adapter. The end point adapter moves longitudinally through the tubular composite part (10) and receives light with the plurality of optical fibers (40) following interaction of the light with the tubular composite part (10). The system (50) further includes a NIR imaging spectrometer (54) configured to disperse the light being collected by the plurality of optical fibers (40) across an NIR spectrum λ and a NIR camera (58) configured to generate images of the tubular composite part (10) based on dispersed light.
