The Dakota NDT Magnetic Bolting Transducer (3/4", 5 MHz, Microdot Connector) is a specialized ultrasonic transducer designed for the precise and reliable measurement of elongation in ferromagnetic bolts using ultrasonic bolt tension monitoring instruments. Its key feature is a strong magnetic base, ensuring secure, repeatable, and efficient coupling to the end of the bolt, which is critical for accurate readings.

With a 3/4 inch (0.75 inch) diameter, this transducer provides an optimal contact area for effective signal transmission into a variety of ferromagnetic bolt sizes. The 5 MHz frequency offers an excellent balance of penetration capability and resolution, ideal for the typical length ranges encountered in bolting applications. The industry-standard Microdot connector ensures a secure and reliable connection to most ultrasonic bolt tension monitors.

As a single element transducer, it transmits and receives ultrasonic waves directly through the bolt material. This technology allows for the non-destructive measurement of the change in length (elongation) of the bolt as tension is applied, providing accurate data for calculating crucial parameters such as load, stress, and strain.  

Key Selling Points:

• Secure Magnetic Coupling: Ensures consistent and reliable attachment to ferromagnetic bolts for repeatable measurements.  

• Optimized for Bolt Measurement: 5 MHz frequency provides an ideal balance of penetration and resolution for typical bolt dimensions.

• Versatile Application: Suitable for a range of ferromagnetic bolt sizes.
