CSAM
Appears to give x-ray like images, a sort of high resolution ultrasound like done to see babies before they are born
Appears samples are typically immersed in fluid to help with conduction
CSAM video says range used was "2.5MHz-260MHz". ie this is far out of human hearing range
Vendors:
Transducer
non-sonix tranducers for me to try to get my sonix system online
Many types of transducers out there, must be the focused type. ie don't get the straight beam time used for thickness measurements and such
AFAIK flaw detectors are not focused and so probably won't work
beware: some tranducers are marked for freq + focal length, some freq + diameter
There are a large number of Panametrics / Olympus NDT out there: http:www.olympus-ims.com/data/File/Harrisonic/Harisonic-UT.en.pdf
- Well really they are from one seller. By the looks of it they are from "Krautkramer Branson Incorporated
KB6000 Ultrasonic Test & Data Acquisition System"

Olympus Harisonic
Part I purchased: Harisonic I2RA1004T 10 MHz .250"Dia 1.25" FOC Ultrasonic Immersion Transducer
- I2: immersion type 2 transducer
- RA: ?
- 10: 10 MHz
- 04: 04/16" => 1/4"
- T: series?
Example Part Number: I3-0508-S-SU
- I3: Transducer Type & Case. Ex: immersion type 3
- 05: Frequency. Ex: 5 MHz
00 = 0.5 MHz 01 = 1.0 MHz 02 = 2.25 MHz 03 = 3.5 MHz 05 = 5.0 MHz 07 = 7.5 MHz 10 = 10 MHz 15 = 15 MHz 20 = 20 MHz 25 = 25 MHz
- 08: element outer diameter 16th of inches. Ex: 8/16" = 1/2"
- S: series. Ex: mediumband
S: "mediumband, medium damped, tuned transducers. They are used for general purpose flaw detection, and represent a compromise between high sensitivity and high resolution." R: "broadband, highly damped, tuned transducers. They are used for high resolution, near and far surface flaw detection, and thickness gaging applications" P: "narrowband, lightly damped, tuned transducers. They have high-energy output and penetrating power, but have limited resolving power"
- SU: Connector Type & Location. Ex: straight UHF
SM = Straight Microdot RM = Right Angle Microdot SU = Straight UHF RU = Right Angle UHF
Immersion
"Immersion transducers are specifically designed to test parts partially or wholly immersed in water"
Immersion types have different focus configurations
303 stainless steel housing
Exsample: I3-0308-R-SU-F2.50IN
- F: focus type
F: spherical focus. For scanning planes CF: cylindrical focus: focuses on a line. For scanning cylinders
- 2.50IN: 2.5" focal length (in water)
"i-1 and i-2 Style Housings: 0.25 inches (6 mm) diameter elements with 0.375 inches (10 mm) housings"
- Frequency: 2.25 - 25 MHz
- Focus: 0.35 - 5.25"
