Phased array ultrasonic probe 3.5L16-A3

Overview
Deep penetration probes are designed to deliver increased ultrasonic energy through wider elevation (element height), enabling improved penetration for nondestructive testing of thicker carbon steel and for inspection of noisy or granular materials.

Advantages

• Extra-wide elevation producing higher ultrasonic energy
• Multiple frequency options (1.5, 2.25, 3.5, 5.0 MHz) to prioritise penetration depth or resolution
• Higher element counts (16, 32, 64) and A33 variants for advanced techniques such as TFM, PCI and compound scans
• Standard OmniScan™ connector with 2.5 m (8.2 ft) cable; configurable connectors and cable lengths available

Typical applications
A3, A4, A5 and A33 probes

• Inspection of thick plates and welds
• Forging inspection
• Testing in noisy or granular materials
