NM01MINIAB518718745

This CNDT Miniature Angle Beam Transducer is a compact yet powerful ultrasonic transducer designed for precise angle beam inspections in applications with limited access or on small components. Operating at a center frequency of 5 MHz with a small element size of .187" x .187", this transducer provides excellent resolution and sensitivity for detecting small flaws at a refracted shear wave angle of 45 degrees within the test material (typically calibrated for steel; the exact angle may vary slightly depending on the material's acoustic velocity).  

The miniature design of this transducer allows for inspections in tight spaces and on components with complex geometries where larger probes might not fit. The 45-degree angle is a commonly used refraction angle for detecting various types of subsurface discontinuities, including cracks and incomplete fusion, depending on their orientation relative to the sound beam.

Equipped with a microdot connector, this transducer offers a secure and reliable connection to compatible ultrasonic flaw detectors, particularly smaller, portable units often used in field inspections. The robust construction ensures durability for demanding NDT environments.
