NM01T1012700

The Dakota Ultrasonics 5.0 MHz Dual Element Transducer (3/16" Diameter, HD - Hi Damped, Potted Connector, Side Cable Exit, Model T-101-2700) is a specialized probe designed for precise ultrasonic thickness measurements, particularly in applications where enhanced resolution and the ability to measure through coatings are crucial.  

This transducer features a 5.0 MHz frequency, offering an excellent balance between penetration capability and high resolution for accurate readings on a variety of materials. The dual element design, with separate transmitting and receiving crystals, significantly improves near-surface resolution and minimizes the impact of surface irregularities.  

The High Damping (HD) characteristic is a key feature of this specific model (T-101-2700). High damping produces short, clean ultrasonic pulses, which dramatically improves resolution, especially when measuring thin materials or when attempting to obtain accurate thickness readings through paint and other coatings. This makes it ideal for applications where coating removal is undesirable or impractical.  

The transducer has a compact 3/16 inch diameter, allowing for measurements in tighter or more localized areas. The durable potted connector ensures a robust and sealed cable connection, while the side cable exit offers a convenient and space-saving cable orientation during inspections.  

Key Features:

• Frequency: 5.0 MHz - Provides a good balance of penetration and high resolution.  

• Dual Element Design: Offers superior near-surface resolution and signal quality.  

• High Damping (HD): Specifically optimized for improved resolution when measuring through coatings and on thin materials.
