The X5 Series Transducers and Wedges are high-performance phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) components engineered specifically for deep penetration inspection applications. Featuring 16-element arrays with optional hard-faced wear protection and versatile wedge material options, the X5 series offers robust acoustic power, reliable defect characterisation, and operational adaptability across standard and extreme temperature testing environments.
Quick Connectivity: Fitted with a Quick I-PEX (QX) connector and dedicated Quick I-PEX bracket for rapid and secure attachment.
Flexible Cabling Options: Supplied standard with a 2.5 m cable, with custom cable lengths and heavy-duty armoured cabling available upon request.
Hard-Faced Durability: Available with optional hard-faced wear protection to extend transducer operational life on abrasive surfaces.
High-Temperature Capability: Compatible with Rexolite, Torlon, and Vespel wedge materials to support operating environments up to 300°C (572°F).
