Abstract

An inspection method is provided during which a probe assembly (28) is arranged with a component (22). The probe assembly includes a conduit (34) and an inspection probe (36). The inspection probe includes a probe head (60) located within a bore (50) of the conduit. The probe head includes an ultrasonic transducer (70). The arranging of the probe assembly includes: moving the conduit to sealingly engage a distal end (46) of the conduit against a surface (52) of the component; and moving the inspection probe to abut the probe head against the surface of the component. An acoustic coupling media (40) is disposed within the bore contacting the probe head and the surface of the component. A characteristic of the component is determined using the probe assembly. The determining of the characteristic includes: generating an ultrasonic signal using the ultrasonic transducer; and directing the ultrasonic signal from the probe head, through the acoustic coupling media, into the component.
