NM01HS2122i_RH(v1)

The HS2122i High-Temperature Dual Element Ultrasonic Transducer is a rugged and specialized solution engineered for demanding on-stream ultrasonic thickness gauging and corrosion mapping, particularly on thicker components or materials with coarse grain structures. This high-performance transducer operates at a 2.5 MHz center frequency and features a dual element configuration with an 18 mm tip diameter and 18 mm diameter elements, ensuring effective sound transmission and reception in challenging materials.  

Equipped with industry-standard microdot connectors for secure and reliable connection to your ultrasonic testing instrument, the HS2122i also incorporates a distinctive red handle for enhanced grip and handling in industrial environments. A key advantage of this transducer is its exceptional high wear resistance, designed to withstand prolonged contact with rough or elevated temperature surfaces, guaranteeing long-lasting performance and data reliability.  

This transducer excels in extreme temperature environments, boasting an impressive surface temperature range from -55 to +550 °C (-67 to +1022 °F) and allowing for continuous operation without cooling up to 350 °C (662 °F). This capability makes it ideally suited for in-service inspections on hot assets, eliminating the need for frequent interruptions or cooling procedures. The 2.5 MHz frequency provides an optimal balance of penetration for thicker materials and sufficient resolution for detailed corrosion mapping and thickness measurements, even in materials with complex acoustic properties like coarse grain structures.
