ABFP Transducers
Model ABFP are small transducers with side Microdot connectors and integral wedges for maximum versatility. These small transducers are perfect for inspection in hard to reach or restricted areas. C series* with piezocomposite elements offer superior resolution, penetration, and signal-to-noise ratio. The piezocomposite also heightens sensitivity and bandwidth.
Standard models listed below are designed for inspecting carbon steel. These transducers can be designed to inspect other materials as well as variations in inspection angle. ABFP come standard with side-mounted microdot connectors but can be special ordered with top-mounted connectors if requested.
Typical Applications
- Weld Inspection
- Tubes and Pipes
- Shafts
- Turbine Blades
- Wheel Rims
Series
*C Series – Composite (Piezocomposite) Series of transducers have superior sensitivity and penetration especially in highly-attenuative materials. C Series have both higher resolution, sensitivity, and have wide bandwidth (60-120% at -6db) due to the lower acoustic impedance of the material. They couple more efficiently into plastic wedges, delay lines, and water.
