OKO-NDT Angle Beam Probe TAB (Single Element) - 2.0 MHz, 45°, 8 x 9 mm, Lemo 00 Connector

The OKO-NDT Angle Beam Probe TAB is a robust and reliable single-element ultrasonic transducer engineered for effective flaw detection in a wide range of materials and applications. With its specified frequency, refraction angle, and crystal size, this probe is particularly well-suited for general-purpose weld inspection and the assessment of material integrity where angular inspection is required. Manufactured by OKO-NDT (OKOndt GROUP), a trusted name in Non-Destructive Testing, this probe ensures consistent performance and durability in demanding industrial environments.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Angle Beam Inspection: Generates shear waves (or refracted longitudinal waves) into the test piece at a nominal 45∘ angle, allowing for the detection of flaws oriented perpendicular or at various angles to the surface, especially within weld volumes or in plates.

• Single Element Design: Utilizes a single piezoelectric crystal for pulse-echo operation, offering straightforward setup and interpretation of A-scan data.

• Optimal 2.0 MHz Frequency: This frequency provides a good balance between penetration and sensitivity. It is highly effective for inspecting coarser-grained materials, detecting larger flaws, or materials with higher sound attenuation, while still offering sufficient resolution for common defects.

• Versatile 45° Refraction Angle: A commonly used angle in NDT, ideal for detecting transverse and longitudinal flaws in butt welds, fillet welds, and various structural components.

• Standard 8 x 9 mm Crystal Size: The dimensions of the active element provide a balanced beam spread and acoustic energy, making it suitable for general-purpose weld inspection applications and for scanning larger areas while maintaining good sensitivity.

• Durable Construction: Encased in a robust housing (often wear-resistant plastic or metal) with an integrated wear face, designed to withstand the harsh conditions of industrial use and provide long service life.

• Standard Lemo 00 Connector: Ensures broad compatibility with virtually all conventional ultrasonic flaw detectors equipped with a Lemo 00 input, offering easy integration into existing inspection setups.

• OKO-NDT Quality: Backed by the reputation of OKO-NDT for manufacturing high-quality and reliable NDT equipment.
