OKO NDT Contact Transducer Straight Beam Probe with Ceramic Face (Single Element) - 2 MHz, 20 mm, Lemo 00 Connector

The OKO NDT Contact Transducer Straight Beam Probe is a reliable and robust single-element ultrasonic transducer engineered for precise thickness measurement and internal flaw detection. Featuring a highly durable ceramic wear face, this probe is built to withstand rigorous industrial conditions, offering extended service life even on rough or abrasive surfaces. With its specified frequency and a larger crystal size, it provides excellent penetration and a broad coverage area for a wide range of NDT applications.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Straight Beam Inspection: Emits ultrasonic waves perpendicular to the test surface, making it ideal for detecting laminar defects (e.g., delaminations, inclusions, large porosity), lack of bonding, and for precise thickness measurement in various materials.

  
  

• Ceramic Wear Face: The most significant feature, providing superior abrasion resistance and durability compared to standard plastic or stainless steel wear plates. This extends the probe's lifespan considerably, especially when inspecting rough, textured, or hot (within limits) surfaces, reducing replacement costs.

• Single Element Design: Utilizes a single piezoelectric crystal for pulse-echo operation, ensuring straightforward setup and clear A-scan interpretation.

• Optimal 2.0 MHz Frequency: This frequency offers excellent penetration capabilities for thicker sections or materials with higher sound attenuation (e.g., coarse-grained castings, certain composites), while still providing good sensitivity for detecting larger internal flaws.

• Large 20 mm Crystal Diameter: The 20 mm active element provides a wide acoustic beam profile and a larger contact area. This is particularly advantageous for scanning large, relatively uniform components quickly, detecting widespread discontinuities, and for reliable coupling on less-than-perfect surfaces.

• Durable Construction: Housed in a rugged body, designed to endure the demanding conditions prevalent in industrial NDT environments.

  
  

• Standard Lemo 00 Connector: Ensures broad compatibility with virtually all conventional ultrasonic flaw detectors equipped with a Lemo 00 input, allowing for easy integration into existing inspection setups.

• OKO NDT Quality: Backed by the reputation of OKO NDT (OKOndt GROUP) for manufacturing high-quality and reliable NDT equipment.
