The NDT Systems Quick Change Angle Beam Probe is a highly adaptable ultrasonic transducer designed to streamline angle beam inspections. Featuring a 0.5-inch active element and a center frequency of 5 MHz, this probe provides a balanced combination of sensitivity and resolution, making it suitable for detecting a variety of flaw sizes at moderate depths across numerous materials.  

A key feature of this probe is its "quick change" compatibility, designed for rapid and tool-free interchange with various angle wedges (sold separately). This significantly enhances inspection efficiency, allowing users to swiftly adapt to different inspection angles as required by the application.

Equipped with a standard Microdot connector, this probe ensures a secure and reliable signal transmission between the transducer and the ultrasonic flaw detection instrument.  

Key Selling Points:

• Optimized Element Size (0.5"): Offers a strong balance of sensitivity and beam focusing for general-purpose ultrasonic testing.

• Versatile Frequency (5 MHz): Provides a good compromise between penetration capability and flaw resolution.

• Rapid Wedge Interchange: The "quick change" design allows for fast and easy switching between different angle wedges, improving inspection speed and flexibility.  

• Effective Angle Beam Inspection: Designed to introduce a refracted wave (typically shear or longitudinal) at a specific angle into the test object, crucial for detecting flaws with diverse orientations.  

• Standard Microdot Connector: Ensures reliable and secure signal connection to most ultrasonic flaw detectors.

• Quality Manufacturing by NDT Systems: A trusted name in ultrasonic testing equipment.  

Benefits:

• Improved Inspection Workflow: The quick change capability significantly reduces downtime when switching between different inspection angles.  

• Broad Application Suitability: The balanced frequency and element size make it applicable to a wide range of materials and inspection tasks.

• Dependable Signal Integrity: The Microdot connector ensures consistent and noise-free signal transmission.

• Enhanced Flaw Detection Capability: The angle beam technique is essential for identifying flaws that are not oriented parallel to the inspection surface, such as certain weld defects and cracks.  

Applications:

This quick change angle beam probe is commonly employed in a variety of ultrasonic testing scenarios, including:

• Efficient weld inspection, allowing for rapid scanning at multiple angles to detect various defect types.  

• Inspection of pipes, pressure vessels, and other critical components where the detection of angled flaws is paramount.

• Situations demanding high throughput inspection at multiple angles without the need for manual probe disassembly and reassembly.

• General-purpose angle beam ultrasonic testing across a wide spectrum of materials and component geometries.  

The NDT Systems Quick Change Angle Beam Probe offers a practical and efficient solution for ultrasonic angle beam inspections, combining balanced performance with the significant advantage of rapid wedge interchangeability.
