A contact transducer is a single element longitudinal wave transducer intended for use in direct contact with a test piece.
Advantages:
- All styles are designed for use in rugged industrial environments
- Close acoustic impedance matching to most metals
- Can be used to test a wide variety of materials
Applications:
- Straight beam flaw detection and thickness gaging
- Detection and sizing of delaminations
- Material characterization and sound velocity measurements
- Inspection of plates, billets, bars, forgings, castings, extrusions, and a wide variety of other metallic and non-metallic components
- For continuous use on materials up to 122°F / 50°C
Fingertip Contact
- Units larger than 0.25" (6 mm) are knurled for easier grip
- 303 stainless steel case
- Low profile for difficult-to-access surfaces
- Standard configuration is Right Angle and fits Microdot® connector
