Hardwater Probes
Applications
• Composite inspection
• Bubbler applications where water is an issue
Features
• Probes use hardwater delay* to minimize water required
for coupling
• Delay acoustically matched to water to minimize the
water to delay interface
• Available with 3 different connectors
C
*Hardwater delay is a material applied to
the face of the probe that is non-removable.
Main benefits:
Accoustically matches water to minimize interface echo.
Improves near surface resolution. B
Decreases operating gain and frequency. (5MHz design
A
frequency operates at approximately 2.6MHz)
