17.2 Transducer
The transducer will wear with repeated use. Transducer life depends on the number of
measurements taken and the manner in which readings are taken. To extend transducer life,
always set the transducer down so that it is perpendicular to the panel surface. Dragging the
transducer along the surface will reduce the life of the transducer. Replacement transducers are
available from your local Elcometer NDT supplier or directly from Elcometer NDT.
