The NDT Systems UT Dual Element Potted Fingertip transducer is a compact and robust ultrasonic transducer featuring a dual element design, operating at a frequency of 2.25 MHz with a crystal diameter of 0.5 inches. The dual element configuration utilizes separate transmitting and receiving crystals, which significantly improves performance in specific applications, particularly on irregular, rough, or corroded surfaces, and enhances near-surface resolution.

The "potted" construction indicates that the internal components of the transducer are fully encapsulated within a durable material. This design provides exceptional protection against moisture, dust, and other harsh environmental factors, ensuring reliable and consistent performance in demanding industrial inspection settings.

The "fingertip" designation refers to the small, ergonomic housing of the transducer. This compact design allows for easy and comfortable handling, enabling inspectors to access and effectively inspect areas with limited space or complex geometries. The 0.5-inch crystal diameter provides a focused sound beam, offering a good balance of sensitivity and penetration for a variety of materials and flaw detection tasks.
