The meter is designed to perform measurements on a wide range of materials, from

various metals to glass and plastics. However, different types of materials require the

use of different transducers. Choosing the right transducer for the application is

essential to ensure accurate and reliable measurements. The following sections

highlight the important characteristics of transducers that should be considered when

selecting a transducer for a particular application.

In general, the best transducer for a given application is a sensor that emits sufficient

ultrasonic energy into the material to be measured so that a strong, stable echo is

received by the instrument. The strength of the ultrasound during propagation can be

influenced by several factors. These are listed below:

• Initial signal strength: The stronger the signal is at the beginning, the stronger

its back echo. The initial signal strength is largely determined by the size of the

ultrasonic transmitter in the transducer. A large emitting area emits more energy

into the material to be measured than a small emitting area. Therefore, a so-

called "1/2 inch" transducer emits a stronger signal than a "1/4 inch" transducer.
