Product overviewThe dual element contact transducer series features separated transmit and receive elements for contact ultrasonic NDT. Designed for near-surface response, remaining wall thickness and corrosion/erosion inspection, these probes improve coupling on curved or rough surfaces. They are intended for use with compatible ultrasonic inspection instruments, not as standalone inspection units.
Key features- Separated transmit and receive elements with integrated crosstalk barrier.
- Optimized for near-surface flaw detection and remaining wall thickness measurement.
- Improved coupling on curved and rough surfaces; selected configurations are contoured for curved parts.
- Reduced noise from scattering on coarse-grained materials.
- Multiple frequency options across model families (1–10 MHz).
- Connector and cable variants: Lemo 00, Microdot, fixed BNC cable, side-mounted MMD, MMD-to-BNC dual cable (model dependent).
ApplicationsSuitable for NDT tasks including remaining wall thickness, corrosion and erosion assessment, near-surface flaw detection, inspection of small parts (screws, bolts, pins), cladding and weld overlay inspection, bond testing, railroad wheel inspection, and detection of core flaws in shafts, bars and billets. Use contoured configurations where curved contact surfaces require enhanced coupling.
Product structure- Dual element design: Separate transmit and receive elements for improved near-surface response.
- Crosstalk barrier: Physical separation to minimize direct feed-through between elements.
- Curved surface option: Selected models are contoured to follow curved parts for better contact.
- Connector options: Configurable with Lemo 00, Microdot, fixed BNC, side-mounted MMD or MMD-to-BNC dual cable depending on family.
