NM01LMA245

The Sonatest LMA2-45 is a robust large, single element angle beam shear wave contact transducer specifically designed for effective ultrasonic inspection at a refracted angle of 45 degrees in steel. Featuring a secure Lemo 00 connector for reliable connection to your Sonatest or compatible instrument, this transducer operates at a nominal frequency of 2 MHz.  

The "large" designation in the LMA series indicates a substantial 20mm x 22mm rectangular crystal. This larger crystal size contributes to a more focused and higher energy beam, enhancing sensitivity for detecting flaws at the intended angle. The 45-degree refracted angle is a versatile choice for various angled beam techniques, commonly used in weld inspection and the examination of castings and forgings to detect flaws oriented at different angles to the inspection surface.  

Key Features:

• Single Element, Angle Beam (Shear Wave): Designed to introduce a shear wave into the test material at a specific refracted angle.  

• Refracted Angle in Steel: 45 degrees - A versatile angle for various inspection techniques.  

• Frequency: 2 MHz - Offers a good balance of penetration for material examination and moderate resolution for flaw detection.  

• Large Crystal Size: 20mm x 22mm rectangular crystal provides enhanced sensitivity and beam focusing.  

• Connector: Lemo 00 - Ensures a secure and reliable connection to compatible ultrasonic instruments.

• Manufacturer: Sonatest - A reputable manufacturer of high-quality ultrasonic testing equipment and transducers.  

• Medium Damped: Typically medium damped for a good balance of sensitivity and bandwidth suitable for general-purpose flaw detection.  

Benefits:

• Versatile Angled Beam Inspection: The 45-degree angle is suitable for detecting a range of flaw orientations.

• Enhanced Sensitivity: The larger crystal size improves the ability to detect smaller reflectors at the target angle.

• Reliable Signal Coupling: Designed for direct contact testing with appropriate couplant.

• Secure Connection: The Lemo 00 connector ensures a stable and noise-free signal transmission.

• Wide Range of Applications: Suitable for various materials and component sizes requiring angled beam inspection.  

Applications:

• General weld inspection for detecting various flaw types.  

• Inspection of castings and forgings for internal defects oriented at an angle.  

• Examination of pipes and tubes.

• Flaw detection in a variety of materials requiring an angled beam approach.
