The Dakota NDT Standard Shear Wave Transducer (SS) is a versatile ultrasonic transducer featuring a 0.750 x 0.750 inch (3/4" x 3/4") element and a center frequency of 2.25 MHz. Designed for a wide range of general angle beam inspections, this transducer is typically employed with angle beam wedges (available separately) to introduce shear waves into the test material at various refracted angles.  

The 2.25 MHz frequency offers a balanced combination of penetration capability and resolution, making this transducer suitable for inspecting welds in various materials and thicknesses. When paired with appropriate angle beam wedges, it allows for the detection and characterization of flaws oriented at different angles relative to the inspection surface.  

Key Selling Points:

• General Purpose Angle Beam Inspection: Suitable for a broad spectrum of shear wave applications.  

• Balanced Penetration and Resolution: The 2.25 MHz frequency provides a good compromise for effective flaw detection across different material types and thicknesses.

• Versatile Application: Can be used with various angle beam wedges (sold separately) to achieve different inspection angles.  

• Reliable Quality from Dakota NDT: Backed by a trusted manufacturer in the non-destructive testing industry.

Benefits:

• Effective for General Flaw Detection: Provides reliable detection of various discontinuities using angle beam techniques.  

• Adaptable to Multiple Inspection Angles: When combined with appropriate wedges, it can inspect flaws at different orientations relative to the test surface.

• Provides Dependable Inspection Data: Delivers consistent and accurate results for material evaluation.  

Approximate Dimensions (inches):

• Element Size: 0.750 inches x 0.750 inches (3/4" x 3/4")

• Overall Length (without wedge): Approximately 1.0 to 1.5 inches (This dimension can vary slightly depending on the specific model).

• Body Diameter: Approximately 0.75 to 1.0 inches (This can vary slightly depending on the specific model).

• Connector Type: Typically Microdot (verify with the specific model number).

Applications:

This standard shear wave transducer is commonly utilized for:

• General angle beam weld inspection.

• Flaw detection in pipes, tubing, and other industrial components.

• Inspection of forgings and castings for internal discontinuities.

• Detection of cracks, lack of fusion, and other defects using various angle beam techniques when paired with appropriate wedges.
