0° Compression Transducers
GB Inspection System’s 0° Compression Wave series of transducers are available in a wide range of specifications with single or twin crystal options for general purpose ultrasonic testing, flaw detection through to application specific inspections.
Compression Wave transducers are ideal for thickness verification, corrosion and loss of wall, measurements on plate, and pipe, and volumetric inspection of forgings and castings.
Please take a look at our extensive range of 0° Compression Wave transducer following the above options (Single or Twin).
For additional information or to order our transducers, please contact our Sales Team at +44 (0) 121 351 5025 / [email protected] or alternatively feel free to order via our E-commerce option by adding your items to the basket and then go to check-out.
Single Crystal
Ultrasonic Single Crystal transducers fulfil most of the test tasks in practice. Furthermore they are required when (in rare cases) tandem or delta technique is applied.
Twin Crystal
Twin Crystal/Dual element or TR transducers (one transmitter and one receiver) are recommended when near surface resolution (for example, detection of small defects in small depth) has to be improved.
