Waygate Krautkramer L.K Immersion Transducers

Waygate Technologies Krautkramer L.K Immersion Transducers, Baker Hughes business products (formerly GE Inspection Technologies), are European immersion transducers that detect flaws in a variety of materials in water. L.K transducers come in a frequency of either 2.0 MHz or 5.0 MHz with a diameter of 10 mm. This transducer is versatile in measuring capability and can detect small flaws in materials ranging from pipes to plates to disks. The L.K transducers have fixed cables with LEMO-1 connectors.

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

EUROPEAN STANDARD IMMERSION TRANSDUCER FOCAL LENGTH

• Acoustically matched for best efficiency in water
• Can be focused to a point (spherical) or to a line (cylindrical) for improved resolution, sensitvity, and signal-to-noise ratio (refer to Selection Criteria on pages 2 through 4)
• European models have fixed cable with LEMO-1 connector
