The Dakota NDT 3/16" Cone Tip Acrylic Delay Line is a precision-engineered accessory designed for use with compatible ultrasonic transducers. Featuring a 0.1875-inch (3/16") diameter cone tip and crafted from high-quality acrylic, this delay line enables focused and precise ultrasonic coupling, particularly advantageous on curved surfaces, small areas, and within shallow features.  

By introducing a known time delay, this acrylic delay line significantly enhances near-surface resolution during ultrasonic testing. This improvement allows for more accurate thickness measurements on thin materials and enhances the detection of shallow flaws often obscured by the initial pulse. Furthermore, the replaceable acrylic tip acts as a sacrificial wear surface, protecting the valuable transducer element and extending its operational lifespan.  

Key Selling Points:

• Precision Cone Tip: Provides optimized and focused contact, especially beneficial on curved and small surfaces.  

• Enhanced Near-Surface Resolution: Separates initial pulse interference for improved detection of near-surface characteristics.  

• Accurate Measurement of Thin Materials: Enables reliable thickness readings on thin samples where near-surface clarity is crucial.  

• Protects Transducer Element: The replaceable acrylic tip acts as a wear surface, extending the life of the transducer.  

• High-Quality Acrylic Construction: Ensures efficient ultrasonic transmission with minimal signal attenuation.  

• Designed for Compatibility: Engineered for optimal performance with compatible Dakota Ultrasonics transducers.  

Benefits:

• Improved Measurement Accuracy: The focused tip ensures precise coupling, leading to more accurate ultrasonic readings, especially on complex geometries.  

• Increased Inspection Versatility: Allows for reliable measurements on curved surfaces and in areas with limited access.  

• Cost-Effective Transducer Protection: Protects the transducer element from wear, reducing the need for frequent replacements.  

• Enhanced Inspection of Thin Components: The delay line technology improves the ability to accurately assess thin materials.  

Approximate Dimensions (inches):

• Tip Diameter (Base of Cone): Approximately 0.1875 inches (3/16")

• Overall Length: Approximately 0.375 inches (3/8") - Note: This is a typical length and may vary slightly.
