NM01SLM1025B

The Sonatest Single Element Contact Transducer (SLM) - High Wear, 1", 2.25 MHz with BNC Connector is a robust and versatile ultrasonic transducer designed for demanding contact testing applications where durability and a larger contact area are beneficial. This transducer features a 1 inch (25.4mm) diameter active element and operates at a center frequency of 2.25 MHz, providing a good balance of penetration for thicker materials and reasonable resolution for detecting larger flaws.

The "High Wear" designation signifies its construction with a highly durable wear face material, offering exceptional resistance to abrasion and wear when scanning across rough, corroded, or otherwise challenging surfaces. This significantly extends the transducer's lifespan, making it a cost-effective choice for rigorous inspection environments.

As a single element contact transducer, it requires direct contact with the test piece and the use of a suitable ultrasonic couplant to facilitate efficient sound transmission. The lower frequency of 2.25 MHz offers improved penetration capabilities in denser materials and thicker sections compared to higher frequency probes. The larger 1" crystal diameter provides a wider sound beam, which can be advantageous for covering larger areas and may offer increased sensitivity to certain types of reflectors. The integrated BNC connector is a common and reliable interface for connecting to a wide range of ultrasonic flaw detectors and thickness gauges.

Key Features:

• High Wear Face: Enhanced durability for extended use on abrasive surfaces.

• Large 1" (25.4mm) Diameter: Provides a wider sound beam and potentially increased sensitivity.

• 2.25 MHz Frequency: Offers good penetration in thicker materials.

• Single Element Contact: For direct and efficient ultrasonic coupling.

• BNC Connector: Ensures compatibility with a wide range of UT instruments.

• Robust Construction: Built to withstand demanding industrial environments.

• Sonatest Quality: Manufactured by a reputable leader in ultrasonic testing equipment.

Applications:

• Thickness gauging on thicker materials and rough surfaces.

• General flaw detection in pipes, plates, castings, and forgings where good penetration is required.

• Corrosion surveys and remaining wall thickness measurements on larger structures.

• Inspection of materials with moderate attenuation.

• General purpose ultrasonic testing in demanding environments.
