Wedge ultrasonic probe

phased array

Overview
The flexible phased-array probe designed for the FlexoFORM™ scanner provides phased-array inspection capability on complex geometries. The probe integrates a 64-element array operating at 7.5 MHz with a 1 mm pitch and 7 mm elevation. It is mounted in a water wedge to ensure reliable acoustic coupling on curved surfaces and to provide physical protection for the transducer.

Applications

• Corrosion inspection on pipe elbows (used with FlexoFORM™ scanner)
• Thickness measurement and flaw detection on complex-shaped components

Features

• Flexible phased-array design for conformity to curved and irregular surfaces
• 64-element array optimized for phased-array imaging
• Water wedge coupling to improve contact on complex shapes and protect the probe

Technical specifications

• Elements: 64
• Frequency: 7.5 MHz
• Pitch: 1 mm
• Elevation: 7 mm
