OKOndt Eddy Current Angle/Specialized Surface Probe - Model SU500K3A4.5Dx12.7-105 S

The OKOndt SU500K3A4.5Dx12.7-105 S is a high-performance Eddy Current probe engineered for the accurate detection of surface and near-surface discontinuities in a wide array of conductive materials. With its specific design featuring a low operating frequency and a specialized tip geometry (indicated by the 'Dx12.7' dimensions), this probe is particularly well-suited for inspections that require deeper penetration (for ECT standards), enhanced sensitivity on magnetic materials, or access to intricate component features like fillets, grooves, or angled transitions.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Optimized Low Frequency (500 kHz): The 500 kHz operating frequency is lower than typical surface probes, offering enhanced penetration capabilities for detecting flaws slightly below the surface. It is also particularly effective for inspecting highly conductive materials, and for minimizing lift-off noise when inspecting ferromagnetic materials, allowing for clearer defect signals.

• Specialized Angled/Extended Tip Geometry (Dx12.7): The "x12.7" dimension likely refers to a specific offset or drop length of the probe tip, enabling it to reach and effectively scan areas that are inaccessible to standard straight probes. This makes it ideal for inspecting fillets, chamfers, and other complex or angled component features.

• High Resolution (4.5 mm Tip Diameter): Despite its lower frequency, the compact 4.5 mm tip diameter ensures good resolution for detecting small flaws and allows for precise scanning in tight spaces and detailed components.

• Absolute Coil (Single 'S' and 'A' in 3A): This configuration is ideal for general flaw detection, material sorting based on conductivity or magnetic permeability, and thickness variations (where applicable).

• Versatile Material Compatibility (Fe / NFe): Effectively inspects both ferrous (magnetic) materials like steels and cast iron, and non-ferrous (non-magnetic) materials such as aluminum, copper, titanium, and their alloys.

• Non-Contact Inspection: As with all Eddy Current probes, it provides a non-contact inspection method, preventing any damage or marring to the inspected surface.

• Robust & Ergonomic Design (105 mm Length): Built for the rigors of industrial NDT environments, the probe's 105 mm total length offers a comfortable grip and stable control during manual scanning, while its durable construction ensures longevity.

• Standard MicroDot Connector: Ensures broad compatibility with a wide range of industry-standard eddy current flaw detectors, including the OKOndt Eddycon series.
