The invention relates to a flexible
eddy current testing probe for a
heat transfer pipe of a steam generator of a
nuclear power plant. The flexible
eddy current testing probe comprises a guide cone, a first
petal, a first line groove cover, a skeleton, a coil coiled on the skeleton, a second line groove cover, a second
petal, a
lantern ring, a first connecting piece, a corrugated
pipe, multiple centering rings sleeved on the corrugated
pipe, a
copper cap, a small-
diameter nylon pipe, a second connecting piece and a large-
diameter nylon pipe, wherein the guide cone, the first
petal and the first line groove cover are connected in series through a first spring; the second line groove cover, the second petal and the
lantern ring are connected in series through a second spring; the first connecting piece is fixedly connected with the corrugated pipe; the corrugated pipe is connected with the small-
diameter nylon pipe through the
copper cap; the small-diameter nylon pipe is docked with the large-diameter nylon pipe through the second connecting piece; the small-diameter nylon is sleeved with multiple beads, and a stainless steel ring is arranged between the beads; and the coil is connected with a cable. According to the invention, flexibility and elasticity of the probe are increased, and the
eddy current testing of an
elbow with small curvature
radius is completed at one time quickly and effectively.
