Elcometer have a wide range of transducers to meet your requirements, including:
  • A Range of Frequencies and Sizes
  • Straight and Right Angle Transducers available as Potted or Microdot Transducers
  • — Potted Transducers: Transducer cable is fixed to the transducer head
  • — Microdot Transducers: Plug in cables allowing transducer head or cable to be replaced quickly and easily.
  • High Temperature Transducers: Temperature up to 340ºC (650ºF)
  • When selecting a transducer, it is important to choose one which will best meet your application, taking into consideration:
  • The Measurement Range
  • The Type of Material to be Tested
  • The Design of the Transducer Probe
  • SPEED OF SOUND THROUGH MATERIALS
  • Elcometer Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges can be programmed by the user to the appropriate material in two ways:
  • Known standard of the same material - set the calibration to the thickness
  • The frequency calibration - set the frequency to the appropriate material using the Velocity Chart below
