The PSS Transducers and SW / SNW Wedges range consists of single crystal detachable angle beam shear wave quick-change transducers designed for use with "Standard" (SW) and "Snail" (SNW) wedge variants. Constructed with lead zirconate titanate (PZT) crystals, these probes offer reliable acoustic efficiency, full compliance with American Welding Society (AWS) standards, and modular quick-change flexibility for demanding weld testing tasks.
Single Crystal Angle Beam Design: Detachable shear wave transducers engineered for rapid attachment to interchangeable angle wedges.
PZT Crystal Technology: Built with high-efficiency lead zirconate titanate crystal elements.
AWS Standard Compliance: Compatible with AWS code-compliant transducer and wedge specifications.
Interchangeable Crystal-to-Wedge Compatibility: ¾ x ¾ inch crystal probes are compatible with both ¾ x ¾ and ⅝ x ⅝ inch wedge configurations.
Thermal Capabilities: Standard operating temperature limit of 50°C (120°F), with high-temperature options available up to 285°C (545°F) in the SSG transducer series.
Top-Entry BNC Connector: Fitted with a top-positioned BNC (B) connector for stable signal transfer.
