SAMPLE TESTS USING SOFT ULTRASONIC TRANSDUCERS BY JP PROBE

Japan probe is celebrating it’s 43rd year as a manufacturer of ultrasonic transducers and inspection systems in Japan, and is pleased to announce sample inspection in India through it’s distributor Electronic & Engineering Co (I) Pvt Ltd, (EECI).

EECI’s branches cover 10 major cities in India, with which, Japan Probe will be able to support and uphold the trust of its Indian customers, through EECI’s swift actions and high-quality after sales services.

What samples can be inspected?

• WELD, rough surfaces can be inspected directly from over the surface using: Soft transducer, Jutan
• CURVE pipes, round surfaces can be inspected using: Flexible transducer, Takota

Example: Measurement on a rough gas-cut surface of rebar

• Test material : Rebar – Irregular gas-cut surface (has ridges and is rough)
• Velocity : 5900m/s
• Frequency : 5MHz, Single element 
• Measurement : Thickness/length of the rebar

1. Using conventional hard case type straight beam transducer

There is almost no backwall echo, as the contact between conventional transducer on the gas-cut rebar surface is uneven and the user will have to smoothen the surface for inspection.

2. Using JUTAN soft case type straight beam transducer (HC 5K10N)

With the same settings above, we obtain a high-sensitive backwall echo at 251.7mm without having to smoothen the rough gas-cut rebar surface.

JUTAN is a soft ultrasonic transducer which has a soft detection surface enabling the user to time efficiently inspect rough surfaces and complex shapes.

Features:
– Element size : Φ3~20mm
– Type : Single / Dual element
– Jutan line-up

TAKOTAN is a flexible ultrasonic transducer which can fit onto any round and curved object surface like an octopus. The flexibility is achieved due to special materials of its 3 layers: composite element, matching layer, and damping material.

Features:
– Element size : Φ5~10mm
– Single / Dual element
– Jutan line-up

Jutan & Takotan are compatible with standard flaw detectors.
