Selection of the proper transducer is often a matter of tradeoffs between various characteristics. It may be necessary to experiment with a variety of transducers in order to find one that works well for a given job. Dakota Ultrasonics can provide assistance in choosing a transducer, and offers a broad selection of transducers for evaluation in specialized applications.

•Through Paint & Coatings

The MMX-6 DL has the ability to measure through and eliminate the thickness of paint or coatings on the surface of metals. While this is a very convenient feature, it must be used with the proper transducers in order to produce favorable results. Special high damped alpha style transducers must be used in order to achieve optimal results. Consult Dakota Ultrasonics directly for assistance in choosing the proper transducer for use with the Multi-Mode feature.
