High-Frequency Transducers

Thickness and Flaw Inspection Solutions

Contact Us

High-frequency transducers are single element contact or immersion transducers designed to produce frequencies of 20 MHz and greater.

Contact transducers are available in frequencies up to 225 MHz. Performance is dependent on pulser/receiver and application. All transducers are manufactured on a special basis to customer specifications. Contact us to discuss applications.

Overview

Advantages:

  • Heavily damped broadband design provides excellent time resolution
  • Short wavelengths for superior flaw resolution capabilities
  • Focusing allows for very small beam diameters
  • Frequencies range from 20 MHz to 225 Mhz

High-Frequency Contact

High-Frequency Contact

  • Permanent fused silica delay line allows for flaw evaluation, material analysis or thickness measurements using a direct contact testing method
  • Three different delay line configurations (BA, BB, BC) allow for various combinations of delay line echoes
  • Standard connector style is Right Angle Microdot
  • ®
  • (RM)

SU/RM Immersion Case

High-Frequency SU/RM Immersion Case

  • Permanent fused silica delay with an optical quality ground lens provides a high degree of precision in beam alignment and focusing
  • Stainless steel case has a passive Straight UHF (SU) connector and an active Right Angle Microdot (RM) connector
  • Large cases allow for larger delay lines and decrease in delay reverberations and noise

*Transducers create surface waves in steel, titanium and other materials with similar velocities. Please contact us for higher frequency. Lightweight High Frequency transducers are an alternative to the SU/RM case style transducers. They offer a smaller case width and lighter weight without sacrificing performance.
