Probe Selection Criteria DEFECTOMETER probes and operating test frequencies are optimized to the material that you want to test. Foerster offers probes for three conductivity ranges as follows: Design DEFECTOMETER probes are available in various standard designs. One or several dimensions of these standard probes can be specified as required to solve a particular testing task. It is also possible to develop and construct special probes for testing tasks that cannot be solved with the standard probes. probe the increased sensitivity (due to wear) will not affect the test results. It is not necessary...
