X6 Series - Corrosion Mapping for large surface and piping, X6A-5M128E-0.75x10-SQX5, Frequency: 5 Mhz, Number Elements: 128, Elevation: 10 mm, Element Pitch: 0.75, SONATEST
The SONATEST X6 Series probe, specifically model X6A-5M128E-0.75x10-SQX5, is a high-performance phased array transducer designed for corrosion mapping and inspection of large surfaces and piping. Operating at a center frequency of 5 MHz with 128 elements, this probe offers high resolution and the capability to generate a large linear scan (L-Scan or electronic scan). The element pitch of 0.75 mm and elevation of 10 mm contribute to its detailed imaging capabilities. The X6 series is well-suited for detecting corrosion, blistering, and performing thickness mapping over extensive areas quickly.
