Sonatest SSG and PSS Angle Beam Transducers

Sonatest SSG and PSS Angle Beam Transducers

Replaceable wedge Angle Beam Transducers for use with AWS Snail and Serrated Wedges

Overview

The Sonatest SSG and PSS Angle Beam Transducers are designed to be used with AWS Snail and Serrated Wedges. The SSG is low damped and features a lead metaniobate crystal; the PSS is high damped with a Piezo composite crystal. These Angle Beam Transducers are ideal for weld inspections. The wedges are sold separately. 

Features

  • Rectangular lead metaniobate (SSG) or Piezo Composite (PSS) crystals
  • Max operating temperature 50°C / 120°F
  • High temperature options available up to 285°C / 545°F for SSG probes
  • SSG probes have Low dampening for narrow bandwidth
  • PSS have high damping for wide bandwidth 
  • AWS Code compliant transducers and wedges

Applications

SSG and PSS Transducers are used for weld inspection and crack detection applications. High temperature wedges are available for use with SSG probes. 

Common Applications include:

  • Weld Inspection 
  • Crack Detection
