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).
