The DAKOTA NDT QUICK CHANGE SHEAR WAVE TRANSDUCER (QC) is a high-performance ultrasonic transducer engineered for efficient and precise angled beam inspections, featuring a convenient quick-change interface. This transducer operates at a nominal frequency of 5 MHz with a 0.5-inch element diameter, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of weld inspection, flaw detection, and material characterization applications.  

The defining feature of this transducer is the Quick Change (QC) design, incorporating a specialized threaded interface that allows for rapid and secure attachment to a variety of compatible angle beam wedges without the need for tools. This significantly streamlines inspections where multiple beam angles are required or when switching between different transducers on the same wedge.  

Operating at 5 MHz, this transducer excels in applications demanding good resolution for detecting smaller discontinuities while still offering adequate penetration for many common materials. The 0.5-inch element size provides a balance between sensitivity and beam focusing.  

Equipped with a standard Microdot connector, this transducer ensures a reliable and secure connection to a wide range of ultrasonic testing instruments. Manufactured by DAKOTA NDT, a trusted leader in the non-destructive testing (NDT) industry, this QC series shear wave transducer is a valuable asset for NDT professionals seeking to enhance inspection efficiency and accuracy.
