The TSTARC series comprises dual crystal, angle beam shear wave contact transducers featuring a ceramic hard face for high-resolution and high-sensitivity non-destructive inspections. Built with rectangular lead zirconate titanate crystals, these twin-element angle beam transducers provide superior near-surface flaw evaluation and signal separation in complex component geometries.
Dual Crystal Shear Wave Design: Utilises separate transmitter and receiver elements to enhance signal sensitivity and near-surface defect resolution.
Lead Zirconate Titanate Crystal: Equipped with high-efficiency rectangular crystal elements measuring 8 x 5 mm (0.315 x 0.197″).
Ceramic Hard Face: Protective ceramic contact surface delivers high abrasion resistance and extended service life.
Operating Temperature: Suitable for testing environments up to a maximum operating temperature of 50°C (120°F).
Top-Entry Connectors: Fitted with top-positioned LEMO 00 (Z) or Subvis (S) connectors for convenient cable routing.
