When it is necessary to measure on surfaces that are exceedingly
hot, high temperature transducers must be used. These transducers
are built using special materials and techniques that allow them to
withstand high temperatures without damage. Additionally, care must
be taken when performing a "Probe-Zero" or "Calibration to Known
Thickness" with a high temperature transducer. See Appendix B for
more information on measuring materials with a high temperature
transducer.
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.
