MSWS Transducers

Model MSWS have captive screws for wedge attachment and angled microdot connectors for applications requiring low profile. Piezocomposite (C Series*) offers superior penetration and signal-to-noise ratio in highly attenuative and coarse-grain materials.

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

 

Key Benefits

  • Low profile case allows for access to tight and hard-to-reach areas
  • Small contact area allows for inspection of small-diameter pipes and tubes

 

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.
