ABOUT THE COMPANY

In this catalog ULTRACON�SERVICE LLC offers the

wide range of transducers to ultrasonic flaw

detectors and thickness gauges.

Since 1993, ULTRACON�SERVICE LLC has been

involved in development, manufacture and servi�

ces of non�destructive testing means that have

earned the common recognition due to its quality

and wide variety.

The company fulfills the targets and tasks that

have been determined during its establishment,

supports the profile of the enterprise as the

developer and today has the positive image

between the partners almost in all industries. At

the initial stage the company had developed and

manufactured its own types of probes to ultra�

sonic flaw detectors and thickness gauges.

Without good operation of probes, the normal

operation of the instrument as well as the general

testing performance is impossible. Continues

upgrade of production technology allowed the

improvement of specifications and reliability of

manufactured probes.

Currently the enterprise accounts more than two

thousand types of special application transducers

of various types.

TRANSDUCER SELECTION

Straight Beam Contact Transducers. Straight beam transducers

are single element transducers intended for inducing and receiving the

longitudinal waves at a straight angle to the test object surface that is in

a contact with a transducer, and are used for testing the quality of

materials, metalwares and pipelines in the machinery, energy, transport

industry.

They are used for "sounding" the test object (at plane�parallel sur�

faces), for detecting the transverse defects (oriented perpendicular to

the ultrasonic beam axis) pulse echo, images or echo�images technique.

Angle Beam Contact Transducers. Angle beam transducers are

single element transducers intended for inducing and receiving the lon�

gitudinal and shear wave into a test object at a selected angle. Shear

wave, surface wave, creeping wave probes are of serial production.

Structurally probes are available in integral or interchangeable

designs, i.e. having one resonator with several replaceable wedges to

the dimension types that are required by the customer.

Straight Beam Contact Transducers with Replaceable Membrane

or Ceramic face, Dual Element (TR).

Series of contact dual element straight beam transducers with a

replaceable membrane or ceramic face, allowing to perform the testing

of test pieces with a raised surface roughness. Intended for testing the

test pieces by longitudinal waves allowing to avoid the reverberation

that are typical to single element transducers. They are widely used du�

ring the testing of rolled metals, T— joints and butt joints from the

removed weld reinforcement. Besides the flaw detection, they are

widely used during the ultrasonic thickness gauging.

TOFD transducers. Intended for manual testing of butt weld joints

of flat surfaces and pipes using the TOFD technique, based on measu�

ring the time of flight of waves diffracted from defect boundaries.

This technique is realized with two probes in the pitch�and�catch

configuration.
