Technology & Features
Immersion Linear Phased Arrays
Much like conventional immersion transducers, immersion arrays are used in automatic and manual scanning systems using water or other liquid to couple to parts with complex geometries or large surface areas. Immersion inspection offers near-surface resolution superior to that of contact transducers. Immersion transducers are also effective for inspection of composite materials.
Typical Applications
- Automatic Scanning Systems
- Manual and Automatic Tank Inspection Systems
- Composite Inspection
About Linear Arrays
The linear array is the most common form factor used in industrial phased array testing including TFM/FMC applications. The linear array allows electronic control of the active plane of the transducer including steering angle, depth of focus, and position of the sound beam.
- A single element in the array. In this graphic, 1 of 16 elements.
- Width of a single element.
- Space between adjacent elements.
- Array Pitch; the distance between the center points of two adjacent elements. Pitch controls the arrays resolution and steering ability.
- Array Elevation; the length of the elements.
