Sonatest FCG5050 Fingertip Contact Transducer - 5MHz, 1/2", Medium Damped (Microdot Connector)

Maximize your ultrasonic inspection capabilities with this Sonatest FCG5050 Fingertip Contact Transducer. Designed for exceptional precision and versatility, this 5MHz, 1/2" (12.7mm) medium-damped probe is an ideal choice for accurately detecting flaws and performing thickness measurements in a wide array of industrial applications.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Optimal 5MHz Frequency: Provides an excellent balance of sensitivity and penetration, allowing for reliable detection of small flaws and discontinuities in various materials while maintaining good resolution.

• Versatile 1/2" (12.7mm) Crystal Size: The 1/2" (12.7mm) crystal diameter offers a broader acoustic footprint compared to smaller probes, making it effective for general purpose inspections, while still being compact enough for many semi-confined areas.

• Medium Damping (FCG - Gain Series): This medium damping characteristic ensures a superior signal-to-noise ratio and good overall gain. It produces clear, crisp A-scan presentations and provides a versatile balance for both general flaw detection and accurate thickness gauging applications.

• Single Normal Beam Compression Wave: Generates longitudinal waves, making it perfectly suited for precise thickness measurements, detection of laminations, and identification of flaws oriented perpendicular to the inspection surface.

• Durable & Ergonomic Construction:

  • Stainless Steel Ergonomic Case: Offers a secure and comfortable grip, facilitating fatigue-free manual scanning over extended periods.

  • Ceramic Wear Face with Steel Wear Ring: Engineered for prolonged service life and exceptional resistance to wear in challenging industrial environments.

• Standard Microdot Connector: Guarantees broad compatibility with most ultrasonic flaw detectors, ensuring a robust and reliable connection for consistent data transmission.

• Common Applications Include:

  • General Flaw Detection in Metals and Composites

  • Thickness Measurement of various materials

  • Lamination and Bond Testing

  • Inspection of Castings, Forgings, and Machined Parts

  • Quality Control in manufacturing processes

Nearfield Length in Steel: 34.4mm / 1.354" (Important for understanding the transducer's beam characteristics and effective inspection range).
