NDT Systems: Ultrasonic Transducers


	*OPTIMA Protected Element Transducers*

OPTIMA Protected Element Transducers can fitted with three different types of replaceable protective faces. Used interchangeably, these protective faces extend the use of a single transducer for flaw detection in materials having rough, uneven, abrasive, or hot surfaces. Relatively large element sizes and low-to-midrange frequencies are combined to produce high energy transducers with the high penetrating abilities.

Features - Protected Element Models are fitted with a threaded ring which retains any of three protective faces in intimate contact with the transducer element. One type of protective face is a somewhat pliable polymeric membrane used to assist coupling to rough or uneven surfaces. The wear-cap face is a short, firm polymeric delay line that can replaced after use on rough, abrasive surfaces, or where a contoured face is needed. A one-inch long heat-resistant delay line porvides protection for the element in high temperature applications (intermittent use op to 600(degree mark)F). All are readily interchangeable.
