Son sondas monoelemento de contacto por onda longitudinal que pueden ser usadas con líneas de retardo, membranas o cubiertas protectoras antidesgaste.
Advantages:
- Provides versatility by offering removable delay line, protective wear cap, and protective membrane
- When the transducer is used alone (without any of the options), the epoxy wear face provides good acoustic impedance matching into plastics, many composites, and other low impedance materials
- Cases are threaded for easy attachment to the delay line, protective membrane, and wear cap options
Applications:
- Straight beam flaw detection
- Thickness gaging
- High temperature inspections
- Inspection of plates, billets, bars, and forgings
Standard Protected Face
- Comfort Fit sleeves are designed to be easily held and provide steady grip while wearing gloves
- Standard connector style Right Angle BNC (RB), may be available in Straight BNC (SB)
- Delay line, protective membrane, and wear cap options sold separately from the transducer

High Temperature Delay Line Options
- Allows for intermittent contact with hot surfaces*
- Improves near surface resolution
- Contouring of delay lines provides better coupling on curved surfaces
- Warm temperature delay lines (WTD) can be used for room temperature applications

*Recommended usage cycle is ten seconds maximum contact followed by one minute of air cooling. However, the transducer itself should not be heated above 122°F (50°C).
X = standard delay line lengths, available in 1/2" (13 mm), 1" (25 mm), 1-1/2" (38 mm). Specify at time of ordering.
Note: For the delay lines above, a room temperature material longitudinal wave velocity of 0.100 in/µsec ±0.005 in/µsec may be used as an approximation for basic calculations. This value should not be used for engineering design calculations.
Protective Membrane Option
- Improves coupling on rough or uneven surfaces
- Dry couple to smooth, clean surfaces
