NM01SLM5050Z

The Sonatest Single Element Contact Transducer (SLM) - High Wear, 1/2", 5 MHz is a robust and reliable ultrasonic transducer designed for demanding contact testing applications where durability and performance are paramount. This transducer features a 1/2 inch (13mm) diameter active element and operates at a center frequency of 5 MHz, offering a versatile balance of penetration and resolution for a wide range of materials and thicknesses.

The "High Wear" designation indicates that this transducer is specifically constructed with a durable wear face material, making it exceptionally resistant to abrasion and wear when scanning across rough or challenging surfaces. This extended lifespan reduces the need for frequent replacements, offering a cost-effective solution for demanding inspection environments.

As a single element contact transducer, it is designed for direct contact with the test piece using a suitable ultrasonic couplant. The 5 MHz frequency provides a good balance for detecting both smaller flaws and achieving adequate penetration in many common industrial materials. The 1/2" crystal size offers a good compromise between sensitivity and focused beam characteristics.

Key Features:

• High Wear Face: Enhanced durability for scanning on rough or abrasive surfaces, extending transducer life.

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

• 1/2" (13mm) Diameter: Versatile size for various applications and material thicknesses.

• 5 MHz Frequency: Offers a balance of penetration and resolution.

• Robust Construction: Built to withstand demanding industrial environments.

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