Waygate Krautkramer IPS Style Immersion Transducers

Waygate Technologies Krautkramer IPS Style Immersion Transducers, Baker Hughes business products (formerly GE Inspection Technologies), have small diameter cases and are designed for immersion applications where smaller transducers are needed. The IPS Style comes with two series, Alpha and Gamma. The Alpha series provides users with maximum bandwidth and resolution capabilities. The Gamma series gives users with increased sensitivity and penetration. All IPS Style Transducers have Microdot connectors. In order to receive the best results, connectors should be sealed with a non-water soluble grease. 

Please note that cables are not included with this purchase.

Please be sure to specify focal length. If needed, look under the ‘specifications’ tab to calculate your transducer’s focal length.

Applications:

• Parts with irregular or complex geometry, such as gears and valves
• Automated or mechanized scanning
• Applications requiring very high near surface resolution or detection of very small flaws
• Scanning pipes, tubes and tanks
• Plates, billets and bars
• Disks, axles and shafts

Immersion Transducer Focal Lengths Equation

The following table lists the near field lengths and minimum and maximum practical focal lengths in water expressed in inches and millimeters. To find the approximate near field length in steel, divide all N values by 4. 

N = (Dia.)² x (Freq.) / (4 x Velocity) 

N = Near field practical focal length

Min = Minimum practical focal length

Max = Maximum practical focal length
