Rivet Check Instruments Eddy Current Probe
(Division M)

RIVET CHECK 2.839

Function
The FOERSTER RIVET CHECK system is designed to detect small cracks under installed rivets in the thin outer layers of an airframe fuselage skin. The instrument uses a patented rotating self-nulling eddy current probe. The unique eddy current distribution and simple flaw signature from this probe and associated computer signal processing techniques provide a simple-to-use and highly accurate fatigue crack detector. The results are superior to those obtained from other instruments of its type.
