Olympus ultrasonic probes and transducers are used for flaw detection, thickness gauging, materials research, and medical diagnostics. Our more than 4,000 transducer types include contact, dual element, shear wave, delay line, and immersion. If you don’t find what you’re looking for in our transducer catalog, we can create custom and special designs.
Atlas European Standard Transducers feature LEMO connectors, metric unit element diameters, and common frequencies, such as 1, 2, and 4 MHz. They are designed to meet inspection criteria referenced throughout Europe and the rest of the world.
AWS transducers and wedges conform to the specific requirements of the American Welding Society's Structural Welding Code for angle beam assemblies used in weld inspection.
CDS wedges are designed to generate both a 30 degree shear wave and a 70 degree longitudinal wave in steel for sizing ID connected cracking by means of the 30-70-70 technique.
Immersion special transducers refer to a variety of transducers that conduct many specific applications such as measuring wall thickness, inspection of aluminum plating, or multi-element array flaw detection.
Immersion transducer accessories aid in immersion applications and techniques. Accessories include bubblers, immersion tanks, reflective mirrors and search tubes.
Integral angle beam transducers provide superior signal-to-noise characteristics and contain durable plastic wear. Both Right Microdot and Straight Microdot connectors are available on some styles.
A protected face transducer is a single element longitudinal wave contact transducer that can be used with a delay line, protective membrane or protective wear cap.
Spot weld transducers are specifically designed to provide optimal performance for nondestructive testing of numerous types of spotwelds, including those used in automotive and industrial applications.
Standard Angle Beam Transducers have a large element size that allows for inspection of thicker components and provides a large scanning index. They are used with a wedge to introduce a refracted shear wave or longitudinal wave into a test piece.
TOFD transducers and wedges generate refracted longitudinal waves in steel for use in applications involving crack sizing by means of the Time of Flight Diffraction technique.
Calibration and/or reference blocks should be used in every ultrasonic testing application. Standard blocks are available for angle beam calibrations and thickness calibrations of common materials. Blocks made from 1018 steel, 304 stainless steel, and 7075-T6 aluminum are commonly in stock, and custom blocks made from other materials are available on request. All blocks are measured using equipment traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
The use of couplant is almost always necessary to provide acoustic coupling between the transducer and the test piece. We offer various types of couplants to suit virtually all applications.
