The Dakota Ultrasonics Dual Element Transducer, operating at a center frequency of 7.5 MHz with individual element diameters of 1/4 inch, is a specialized ultrasonic probe meticulously engineered for high-precision thickness measurements and the detection of near-surface flaws. This transducer distinguishes itself by its designation of Extra Resolution, a key characteristic that allows for enhanced accuracy when measuring thin materials and improved sensitivity in identifying very shallow discontinuities that might be challenging for standard transducers.

The internal piezoelectric elements, which generate and receive the ultrasonic waves, are securely potted within a robust housing. This encapsulation process, typically utilizing a durable epoxy or similar material, provides a critical layer of environmental protection, safeguarding the sensitive internal components from the ingress of moisture, dust, and other contaminants that can compromise performance and longevity. This potted design significantly contributes to the transducer's reliability in diverse operational settings.

The physical design of this transducer incorporates a practical Side Exit Connector for the ultrasonic cable. This feature offers notable advantages in applications where access to the test surface is restricted or where a cable exiting from the top of the transducer housing could be cumbersome or prone to damage. The side exit configuration allows for more flexible cable routing and can improve maneuverability in tight spaces.

Recognizing the often demanding nature of industrial ultrasonic testing, this Dakota Ultrasonics transducer is built to withstand harsh conditions. It features a High Wear+ face material, indicating the use of an advanced, highly abrasion-resistant composite or specialized hard facing on the contact surface. This superior wear resistance dramatically extends the lifespan of the transducer, particularly when it is used on materials with rough or abrasive surfaces, reducing the need for frequent replacements and ensuring consistent performance over time.

Encasing the internal components is a heavy-duty Stainless Steel Casing with a substantial 1/4 inch wall thickness. This robust construction provides exceptional mechanical protection against physical impacts, accidental drops, and other forms of rough handling encountered in industrial environments. Furthermore, the stainless steel material offers excellent resistance to corrosion from various chemicals and environmental factors, ensuring the integrity and reliability of the transducer even in challenging operating conditions.
