Standard Angle Beam Transducers

Thickness and Flaw Inspection Solutions

Standard angle beam transducers are large single element transducers used with a wedge to introduce a refracted shear wave or longitudinal wave into a test piece.

Advantages

Large element size allows for inspection of thicker components and provides a large scanning index
Transducers available in Accuscan-S, Centrascan, and Videoscan Series
Accupath and High Temperature style wedges available
Threaded brass screw receptacles ensure firm anchoring of the transducer onto the wedge
Available in frequencies as low as 0.5 MHz and 1.0 MHz
Captive screws included with the transducer
