NM01T1042700

The Dakota NDT 5.0 MHz Dual Element Transducer is a high-performance, robust probe specifically engineered for precise ultrasonic thickness gauging, especially valuable in applications demanding superior near-surface resolution or accurate measurements through various coatings. This transducer features a versatile 5.0 MHz frequency and a balanced 1/2 inch diameter element, making it an excellent choice for a wide array of materials, from thin sections to general-purpose applications.

Its "Hi Damped" (HD) characteristic is key to its superior performance, producing a clean, sharp ultrasonic pulse with minimal ringing. This significantly enhances its ability to resolve echoes very close to the surface and allows for reliable thickness measurements even when the material is covered with paint or other coatings. The dual element design optimizes performance by incorporating separate crystals for transmitting and receiving the ultrasonic signal, which improves signal strength and near-surface focusing, leading to more accurate and consistent readings. The transducer is potted, meaning its internal components are fully encased in a durable material, providing exceptional protection against harsh environmental conditions, extending its lifespan in demanding industrial settings. The side entry cable design offers practical flexibility, allowing for easier access to measurement points in tight or awkward orientations, enhancing overall user experience and versatility.
