Transducer Style




   Transducer Style       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   General Purpose
 
     Transducer element for general application with no specialized features; includes air transducers.
 
   Contact Transducer
 
     Transducer is placed directly against surface to be inspected or measured. They usually have features such as wear plate and ergonomic housings so that they can be used in a variety of applications.
 
   Dual Element Transducer
 
     Two elements in the transducer housing allow transmitter and receiver to operate independently. The elements are angled toward each other to create a reflective transmit/receive pathway.
 
   Angle Beam Transducer
 
     Angle Beam transducers include mounted transparent angle blocks; often used for weld inspection and flaw detection. They typically utilize refracted shear waves to detect flaws throughout the depth of welded areas.
 
   Immersible Transducer
 
     Designed to be totally submerged in liquid medium, most often fresh water; often used in cleaning or scanning applications. They can use focusing optics to improve sensitivity and axial resolution.
 
   Protected Element
 
     Transducer element protected for use on rough surfaces.
 
   Delay Line Transducer
 
     Versatile style transducer, often with replaceable head options such as membranes and wear caps. Used to gage or detect flaws such as delaminations in thin materials.
 
   Shear Wave Transducer
 
     Introduce shear waves into material without using angle beam wedge. The ratio of shear wave components to longitudinal components can exceed 30 dB.
 
   Medical Style
 
     Transducer is designed for medical application. Transducer and housing design is often highly specialized for particular medical application.
 
   Other Transducer Style
 
     Specialized or non-listed style.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Specifications




   Transmitting Frequency:
 
     Ultrasonic transducers are frequently operated at their resonance frequency to maximize output power.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Bandwidth:
 
     Bandwidth is the difference between low and high operational frequency limits.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Beam Angle:
 
     Total included angle of ultrasonic beam. In general, a high frequency transducer will produce a narrow beam and a lower frequency transducer a wider beam. The beam angle can be influenced somewhat by the transducer housing construction.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Rated Power:
 
     Signal power available from transducer.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Transmit Sensitivity:
 
     Ratio of sound pressure produced to input voltage.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Receive Sensitivity:
 
     Ratio of output voltage produced over sound pressure sensed.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
Features




   Array?
 
     An array is several transducers arranged together as a system.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Temperature Compensated?
 
     Circuitry provided that compensates for sensitivities changing with ambient temperature.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Optional Analog Outputs?
 
     Most transducers output analog voltage, but may have provisions for current loop output, etc.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
Mechanical Specifications




   Maximum Side Dimension or Diameter:
 
      
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Height or Length:
 
      
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Weight:
 
      
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
Environment




   Operating Humidity Range:
 
      
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Operating Temperature Range:
 
      
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
