High-Resolution Corrosion & Near-Surface Detection: OKO 10 MHz Double Element Straight Beam Contact Transducer (DA 501 Equivalent)

Achieve unparalleled precision in your ultrasonic inspections with the OKO 10 MHz Double Element Straight Beam Contact Transducer. Designed for superior near-surface resolution and accurate thickness measurements, this transducer is a robust and reliable alternative to industry-standard models like the Olympus (Panametrics) DA 501. It's an indispensable tool for detecting pitting, corrosion, and small flaws in thin materials.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Double Element (Dual Element) Design: This transducer features separate transmitting and receiving elements, strategically angled to optimize the sound path. This design excels at:

  • Enhanced Near-Surface Resolution: Eliminates the "dead zone" or initial pulse ringing often associated with single-element probes, allowing for precise measurements directly beneath the inspection surface.

  • Accurate Pitting & Corrosion Detection: Ideal for identifying and characterizing localized thinning, pitting, and other corrosion-related defects from the outer surface.

  • Superior Performance on Thin Materials: Provides accurate thickness measurements even on materials as thin as 0.040" (1.0 mm) or less, depending on material properties.

• High 10 MHz Frequency: The 10 MHz operating frequency provides exceptional sensitivity to small discontinuities and excellent resolution for precise defect sizing and thickness readings. This makes it perfect for fine-grained materials and applications requiring high detail.

• 10mm (0.39 inch) Crystal Diameter: The 10mm active element diameter offers a well-focused beam and a practical footprint for general purpose contact inspections, balancing coverage with resolution.

• Direct DA 501 Equivalent: Functionally and acoustically comparable to the widely recognized Olympus (Panametrics) DA 501 probe. This ensures reliable performance for applications that traditionally rely on this industry benchmark, providing a high-quality alternative without compromising results.

• Dual Lemo 00 Connectors: Equipped with standard Lemo 00 connectors (one for transmit, one for receive), ensuring broad compatibility with a wide range of ultrasonic flaw detectors and thickness gauges that support dual-element transducers.

• Durable Construction: Manufactured with robust materials and construction techniques for long-term durability and consistent performance in demanding industrial environments. The ergonomic design ensures comfortable handling during extended use.

Ideal Applications:

The OKO 10 MHz Double Element Straight Beam Contact Transducer is an essential tool for:

• Corrosion Mapping: Precise detection and quantification of internal corrosion and pitting in pipes, tanks, and vessels.

• Remaining Wall Thickness Measurement: Accurate assessment of material thinning due to erosion or wear.

• Near-Surface Flaw Detection: Identifying cracks, laminations, and other discontinuities located very close to the inspection surface.

• Bond Line Inspection: Assessing bond integrity in layered materials.

• Aerospace & Automotive: Inspecting critical components where thin material sections and high precision are required.

Equip your NDT kit with the OKO 10 MHz Double Element Transducer for reliable, high-resolution inspections of challenging materials and defects.
