Technology & Features
TOFD Angle-Beam Transducers
Time-Of-Flight Diffraction (TOFD) is a method used to determine the size of cracks in metallic welds. It requires highly-damped, broadband transducers and wedges that generate refracted longitudinal waves (L-waves). SNI’s TOFD transducers have state-of-the-art piezocomposite elements (C series*) and Quick Swap screw-in wedge attachment. Straight-mounted connectors are Microdot & MCX (3/8-32) or Lemo-00 (M12 case).
Angle-beam transducers and their wedges generate shear (transverse) waves at the specified angle in a given test material to detect flaws that cannot be detected by a straight-beam transducer. Shear waves are produced by refracting a longitudinal wave in a precision-machined acrylic wedge that also minimizes wedge noise.
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.
