The Dakota NDT Quick Change High-Resolution Damping Shear Wave Transducer is a specialized ultrasonic transducer featuring a 0.375-inch diameter element and a center frequency of 2.25 MHz. Engineered for precision angle beam inspections, its key "Quick Change" design allows for rapid, tool-free interchangeability with compatible Dakota NDT angle beam wedges, significantly enhancing inspection efficiency and adaptability for various angles and applications.  

This transducer boasts high-resolution damping, providing exceptional clarity and separation of signals in the near-surface zone. This superior resolution is critical for detailed weld inspection, accurate flaw sizing, and any application requiring optimal detection and differentiation of closely spaced reflectors near the material surface. The 2.25 MHz frequency offers an excellent balance of penetration capability and high resolution for a wide spectrum of materials.  

Key Selling Points:

• Rapid Quick Change Compatibility: Enables fast, tool-free swapping between compatible Dakota NDT angle beam wedges for various inspection angles.

• Superior Near-Surface Resolution: High-resolution damping provides exceptional clarity for detecting and distinguishing closely spaced flaws near the surface.

• Versatile Angle Beam Inspections: Ideal for a wide range of angle beam shear wave applications demanding high resolution.

• Balanced 2.25 MHz Frequency: Offers an optimal combination of penetration and resolution for diverse materials.

• Compact 0.375" Diameter: Allows for better maneuverability in confined or restricted inspection areas.  

• Trusted Dakota NDT Quality: Backed by a reputable manufacturer known for reliable non-destructive testing equipment.  

Benefits:

• Maximizes Inspection Efficiency: Quick wedge changes minimize downtime, allowing for faster and more productive inspections.  

• Enhances Detection of Near-Surface Defects: High resolution damping ensures clear identification and analysis of flaws located close to the material surface.

• Increases Application Flexibility: Compatibility with various quick change wedges allows for a wider range of inspection angles and material types.  

• Facilitates Accurate Flaw Characterization: High resolution aids in precise flaw sizing and detailed analysis.  

Approximate Dimensions (inches):

• Transducer Diameter: 0.375 inches  

• Overall Length (without wedge): Approximately 1.0 to 1.5 inches (This dimension can vary slightly depending on the specific model).

• Connector Type: Typically Microdot (verify with the specific model number).

• Threaded Portion Diameter (for wedge attachment): Varies depending on the Dakota NDT quick change system.

Applications:

This quick change high-resolution damping shear wave transducer is ideally suited for:

• Detailed and critical weld inspection, particularly for detecting near-surface defects and evaluating weld quality.  

• Precise flaw sizing and characterization in various materials.

• Inspection of materials where high resolution is essential for detecting small or closely spaced discontinuities.

• Detection of inclusions or other material anomalies located near the surface.

• General angle beam flaw detection applications where quick changes between inspection angles are required.
