The Dakota NDT Quick Change (QC) Composite Shear Wave Transducer is a high-performance transducer designed for efficient and detailed angle beam ultrasonic testing. Featuring a 0.250-inch (1/4") element and a high center frequency of 10 MHz, this transducer delivers exceptional resolution for detecting even very small discontinuities, making it ideal for critical inspections, particularly in thinner materials and for near-surface flaw characterization.

Constructed with an advanced composite element, this transducer offers potential benefits such as increased sensitivity and a broader bandwidth compared to conventional piezoelectric elements. This can lead to improved detection capabilities, enhanced signal-to-noise ratios, and more accurate flaw characterization. The innovative "Quick Change" (QC) design incorporates a threaded connection, allowing for rapid and tool-free interchangeability with a variety of compatible angle beam wedges. This feature significantly enhances inspection efficiency, enabling users to quickly switch between different inspection angles or frequencies (with different QC transducers and wedges) with minimal downtime.
