Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a device for emission and reception of ultrasonic signal to and from a surface under survey, the device includes a stationary shaft part; and two or more wheel assemblies attachable to a stationary shaft part. Each wheel assembly includes an orbital inner ring, an orbital outer ring, and one or more transducers mounted on the outward facing surface of the orbital inner ring protruding radially from the orbital inner ring. The orbital outer ring being arranged radially outside the transducer modules with the orbital inner ring and is rotating together when the wheel assembly is rolled along a surface to be surveyed.
