NM01T1040000

The Dakota NDT 1.0 MHz Dual Element Transducer is a specialized probe with a 1/2" diameter, featuring a potted connector with a side cable exit. This transducer is specifically recommended for use on materials that are typically difficult to penetrate with standard ultrasonic probes, such as HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), fiberglass, and other similar attenuating materials.  

The 1.0 MHz frequency offers enhanced penetration capabilities in these challenging materials, allowing for reliable thickness measurements where higher frequency probes might struggle due to signal attenuation and scattering. The dual element design further optimizes performance by utilizing separate transmitting and receiving crystals. This configuration improves near-surface resolution, minimizes the effects of lift-off, and enhances the detection of back wall echoes in difficult-to-penetrate materials.  

The potted connector provides a durable and sealed connection point, while the side cable exit offers a convenient cable orientation for various inspection setups.  

Key Features:

• Low Frequency (1.0 MHz): Provides enhanced penetration in difficult materials like HDPE and fiberglass.  

• Dual Element Design: Optimizes near-surface resolution and signal reception in attenuating materials.  

• 1/2" Diameter: Offers a suitable contact area for stable measurements.

• Durable Potted Connector: Ensures a robust and sealed connection.

• Side Cable Exit: Offers convenient cable routing.

• Specifically Recommended for Difficult Materials: Ideal for HDPE, fiberglass, and similar challenging materials.  

Benefits:

• Reliable Measurements on Difficult Materials: Enables accurate thickness gauging on materials that are typically hard to penetrate ultrasonically.

• Improved Penetration: The lower frequency signal travels more effectively through attenuating materials.

• Enhanced Near-Surface Resolution: Dual element design provides better readings for thin layers and near the surface.  

• Durable and Robust: Potted connector ensures long-lasting performance.  

• Convenient Operation: Side cable exit allows for flexible use in various applications.

Applications:

• Thickness measurement of HDPE pipes and containers.

• Inspection of fiberglass structures and laminates.

• Gauging materials with high attenuation or scattering characteristics.

• Corrosion surveys on difficult-to-penetrate materials.

• Quality control in the manufacturing of HDPE and fiberglass products.
