NM01T1042700

The Dakota Ultrasonics 5.0 MHz Dual Element Transducer is a versatile probe featuring a 1/2 inch diameter, High Damping (HD) characteristics, a durable potted connector, and a convenient side cable exit. This transducer is designed for accurate ultrasonic thickness measurements across a broad range of materials and applications where improved near-surface resolution and the ability to handle challenging surface conditions are beneficial.

The 5.0 MHz frequency offers an excellent balance between penetration capability and resolution, making it suitable for measuring a wide variety of material thicknesses, including steels, glass, and thinner plastics. The dual element design, with separate transmitting and receiving crystals, significantly enhances performance by improving signal-to-noise ratio, minimizing the impact of surface irregularities, and providing better near-surface resolution compared to single element transducers.  

The High Damping (HD) characteristic ensures the generation of short, clean ultrasonic pulses. This leads to improved resolution, particularly when measuring thin materials, detecting closely spaced flaws, or when dealing with signal interference from coatings or rough surfaces. The robust potted connector provides a sealed and durable connection, while the side cable exit offers a practical and space-saving cable orientation during inspections.
