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 5 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 5 MHz frequency of this transducer provides enhanced resolution, making it well-suited for applications where the detection and characterization of smaller discontinuities are critical. When used in conjunction with appropriate angle beam wedges, it offers a reliable solution for various weld inspections and general flaw detection across a multitude of materials.  

Key Selling Points:

• Versatile Angle Beam Inspection: Suitable for a broad spectrum of shear wave applications when paired with appropriate angle beam wedges (sold separately).  

• Enhanced Resolution: The 5 MHz frequency offers improved capability for detecting and resolving smaller flaws.

• Adaptable to Various Inspection Angles: Can be used with a range of angle beam wedges to inspect flaws at different orientations relative to the test surface.  

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

Benefits:

• Effective Detection of Small Discontinuities: The higher frequency enhances the ability to identify fine flaws and material anomalies.

• Flexibility in Inspection Angles: When combined with appropriate wedges, it allows for comprehensive inspection from various angles.  

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

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 where higher resolution is beneficial for detecting smaller defects.  

• Flaw detection in pipes, tubing, and other critical components where the detection of small discontinuities is paramount.  

• Inspection of various materials using angle beam techniques to detect flaws at different orientations when used with appropriate wedges.
