Immersion transducer accessories aid in immersion applications and techniques. Accessories include bubblers, immersion tanks, reflective mirrors and search tubes.
Reflector Mirrors
Directs sound beam when a straight-on inspection is not possible
Standard mirrors provide a 90° reflection of the sound beam
Allows for immersion testing when complete immersion of parts is not desirable or possible
Designed to maintain a consistent, low volume flow of water

RBS-1 Immersion Tank
RBS-1 immersion tank is designed to simplify testing measurements using immersion techniques. It consists of a clear acrylic tank, a submersible pump and a transducer fixture in a single, portable unit. The pump feeds an adjustable stream of water to a bubbler mounted in the fixture, providing a water column to couple sound from an immersion transducer into the test piece. It is ideal for offline thickness measurements on metal, glass and plastic products such as small containers, pipe or tubing, sheets or plates or machined parts.
Clear Acrylic Tank
5.5 x 12 x 8 inches (140 x 305 x 200 mm)
0.83 gallon (3.1 liter) capacity
Pump
Up to 0.25 gallons (0.9 liters) per minute
115 or 230 V, 30 Watt (voltage range 90 to 135 VAC), 50 to 60 Hz
Handheld bubbler transducers are available in either 20 MHz (V316B) or 10 MHz (V312B). They are immersion transducers that screw onto a bubbler assembly (B120) which has a replaceable stainless steel tip and a water feed tube. They offer high resolution and easy access inspection of thin materials. The V316B and bubbler combination can resolve thicknesses down to 0.008″ (0.2 mm).
