Immersion Transducer
An immersion transducer is a single element longitudinal wave transducer with a 1/4 wavelength layer acoustically mached to water.
It is specifically designed to transmit ultrasound in applications where the test part is partially or wholly immersed .
Advantages
The immersion technique provides a means of uniform coupling
Quarter wavelength matching layer increases sound energy output
Corrosion resistant 303 stainless steel case with chrome-plated brass connectors
Proprietary RF shielding for improved signal-to-noise characteristics in critical appliactions
Applications
• Automated scanning
• On-line thickness gaging
• High speed flaw detection in pipe, bar, tube, plate, and other similar
components
• Time-of-flight and amplitude based imaging
• Through transmission testing
• Material analysis and velocity measurements
Usage Note: Transducers should not be submerged for periods exceeding 8 hours. Allow 16 hours of dry time to ensure the life of the unit.
