Fingertip Contact Ultrasonic Transducer

A single element longitudinal wave contact transducer intended for use in direct contact with a test piece.

Fingertip Contact

• Units larger than 0.25 in. (6 mm) are knurled for easier grip
• 303 stainless steel case
• Low profile for difficult-to-access surfaces

Advantages

• Wear plate increases durability, fracture resistance, and wear resistance
• 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 gauging
• 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 nonmetallic components
• For continuous use on materials up to 122 °F (50 °C)
