NM01QCRD3725

The Dakota NDT Quick Change Shear Wave Transducer is a versatile ultrasonic transducer featuring a 0.375-inch diameter element and a center frequency of 2.25 MHz. Designed for efficient angle beam inspections, its key "Quick Change" capability allows for rapid, tool-free swapping with compatible Dakota NDT angle beam wedges (sold separately). This significantly enhances inspection speed and adaptability for various inspection angles and applications.  

This transducer is an excellent choice for general weld inspection and other applications utilizing angle beam shear wave techniques. The 2.25 MHz frequency provides a balanced combination of penetration capability and resolution for a wide range of materials. When paired with the appropriate angle beam wedges, it enables the reliable detection and characterization of flaws oriented at various angles relative to the inspection surface.  

Key Selling Points:

• Rapid Quick Change Compatibility: Enables fast and easy, tool-free interchangeability with compatible Dakota NDT angle beam wedges for diverse inspection angles.  

• Versatile Angle Beam Performance: Well-suited for a broad spectrum of angle beam shear wave inspection applications.  

• Balanced 2.25 MHz Frequency: Offers an optimal compromise between penetration and resolution for inspecting various materials.

• Compact 0.375" Diameter Element: Allows for improved maneuverability in confined or restricted inspection areas.  

• Reliable Quality from Dakota NDT: Backed by a trusted manufacturer in the field of non-destructive testing.

Benefits:

• Maximizes Inspection Efficiency: Quick wedge changes minimize downtime, leading to faster and more productive inspections across different angles.  

• Provides Versatile Application: Can be effectively used for a wide range of inspection angles and material types when paired with the appropriate wedges.

• Facilitates Reliable Flaw Detection: Enables the dependable detection and characterization of discontinuities using established angle beam techniques.  

Approximate Dimensions (inches):

• Transducer Diameter: 0.375 inches  

• Overall Length (without wedge): Approximately 1.0 to 1.5 inches (This dimension can vary slightly depending on the specific model).

• Connector Type: Typically Microdot (verify with the specific model number).

• Threaded Portion Diameter (for wedge attachment): Varies depending on the Dakota NDT quick change system.

Applications:

This quick change shear wave transducer is commonly employed for:

• General angle beam weld inspection.

• Flaw detection in pipes, tubing, and pressure vessels.

• Inspection of forgings, castings, and machined components.

• Detection of cracks, lack of fusion, and other discontinuities using various angle beam techniques.

• Applications where efficient changes between different inspection angles are crucial for comprehensive coverage.
