Abstract

The principles of a method are discussed for detecting internal defects in pneumatic tires, such as ply separations, by the attenuation of transmitted ultrasonic waves. Equipment for carrying out tire inspections by this method is described. It includes provisions for inspecting a large range of tire sizes, scanning the tread region from shoulder to shoulder and is suitable for operation by inspection personnel. A useful form for recording the results of a tire inspection is described. One of the principal applications for this method of inspection is the examination of tires to determine their suitability for recapping.
