The DAKOTA NDT SINGLE ELEMENT CONTACT TRANSDUCER (FC) – FINGER TIP is a versatile and reliable ultrasonic transducer designed for direct contact inspections, particularly well-suited for general-purpose flaw detection and thickness gauging. Featuring a 1/2 inch diameter element and operating at a frequency of 2.25 MHz, this "Finger Tip" style transducer offers a good balance of penetration and sensitivity across a wide range of materials and thicknesses.

The 2.25 MHz frequency is a common and effective choice for general ultrasonic testing, providing sufficient penetration for many materials while still offering adequate resolution to detect subsurface discontinuities. The 1/2 inch diameter element provides a practical contact area for efficient ultrasonic energy transmission into the test object when used with an appropriate ultrasonic couplant (such as gel, liquid, or paste). Its manageable size makes it suitable for various inspection tasks on components with both simple and moderately complex geometries.  

As a single element contact transducer, it requires direct physical contact with the test object and the use of an ultrasonic couplant to ensure efficient transmission of ultrasonic energy into the material. Its robust design and balanced performance characteristics make it a valuable tool for NDT professionals across various industries.  

Manufactured by Dakota NDT, a trusted name in the non-destructive testing (NDT) industry, this finger-tip contact transducer is a reliable choice for a wide array of ultrasonic inspection needs.
