Dakota Ultrasonics Miniature Angle Beam Potted (MAP) Transducer - 2.25 MHz, 45 Degree (Element: ~8mm x 9mm)

Optimize your ultrasonic flaw detection in challenging geometries with this Dakota Ultrasonics Miniature Angle Beam Potted (MAP) Transducer. Engineered for precision and durability, this 2.25 MHz, 45-degree probe is an indispensable tool for reliably identifying defects such as cracks, lack of fusion, and porosity in welds, small components, and areas with limited access.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Miniature Design: With a compact element size of approximately 8mm x 9mm (often referred to nominally as 0.250" diameter), this transducer is specifically designed for inspection in confined spaces, on small diameter pipes, and on intricate geometries where larger angle beam probes cannot fit.

• Optimal 2.25 MHz Frequency: This frequency provides a versatile balance between penetration and resolution. It offers excellent sound penetration for medium to thicker materials while maintaining sufficient sensitivity to detect commonly encountered flaws.

• Standard 45-Degree Refracted Angle: The 45-degree shear wave is one of the most widely used angles for weld inspection, making it highly effective for detecting and characterizing flaws oriented perpendicular or at an angle to the sound path, such as cracks, lack of fusion, and porosity.

• Potted Construction (MAP Series): The "Potted" design indicates that the piezoelectric element and internal components are encapsulated within a robust housing, providing:

  • Enhanced Durability: Increased resistance to impact, vibration, and environmental factors.

  • Improved Electrical Shielding: Reduces external noise interference for cleaner signals.

  • Stable Performance: Ensures consistent acoustic coupling and reliable measurements over time.

• Angle Beam Application: Generates shear waves that travel at a precise angle through the material, making it ideal for:

  • Weld Inspection: Detecting internal and surface-breaking flaws in butt, fillet, and T-joints.

  • Flaw Detection: Locating discontinuities in plates, forgings, and castings.

  • Scanning Curved Surfaces: Adaptable for inspection of pipes and other cylindrical components.

• Dakota Ultrasonics Quality: Manufactured by Dakota Ultrasonics, a trusted name in NDT known for producing reliable and high-performance ultrasonic inspection equipment.
