DC . series of dual element corrosion test probes

Complete set of corrosion monitoring probes for pipes and tanks

Maintenance of oil & gas pipelines and backup storage tanks helps to keep people safe and maintain continuity in the transportation of raw materials. As a leading manufacturer of NDT equipment, our DC series (DC1 – DC5) series dual element transducers provide a complete set of corrosion monitoring tools when inspecting pipelines and tanks. These compact, versatile probes are optimized for thin materials and corrosion testing, and work with a wide range of ultrasonic inspection equipment and procedures.

Dual element transducers designed to provide clearer signal than single element transducers, with low ring down compared to equivalent transducers, useful for resolving smaller defects, examine the surface and distinguish between two consecutive indications.

DC1 and DC2 probes: Durable and versatile

With 7.5 MHz frequency and small roof angle, dual element transducers DC1 and DC2 provide optimal surface resolution within 7.6–50.8 mm with steel material.

Main advantages:

• Ideal for scanning thin materials.
• Superior in thickness measurement, corrosion mapping and defect sizing.
• Two configurations are standard (DC1) and thick case (DC2).
• Built to last, even under routine inspection due to its thick, wear-resistant walls (DC2).
• Works well on pipes with an OD as small as 1 inch (25.4 mm).
• Tests high temperature piping and tanks with heat-resistant hysteresis wedges up to 150°C (300°F)
• Suitable for small spaces: low height (18 mm) and small tip diameter – 0.455 inch (DC1) / 0.56 inch (DC2)
• The knurled case is easy to grip.
• Wide compatibility with optional BNC or LEMO . connector
• Improve cable durability with spring wrap (BNC connector only).

Probes DC3 – DC5: Inspect thinner materials, not just limited to corrosion testing and monitoring

Dual element transducer set DC3, DC4 and DC5 expand the ability to test thinner materials are from 0 – 38.1 mm thanks to 5 MHz frequency and optimal element size/position. The DC3's large angle design makes it capable of inspecting thin-walled pipe welds and other difficult applications.

Probe sets for specific test criteria

Depending on your application, this combination of five probes provides improved defect sizing and corrosion monitoring. As specifications change, you can use a complete KIT with a total combined thickness range of 0–50.8 mm, as well as test pipe welds using the DC3.

Combined with flaw detector EPOCH™ 650 or 6LT or thickness gauge 38DL PLUS™ * enables efficient, accurate corrosion mapping to assess nominal thickness, pitting, and flaw type/size.

*Due to the acoustic path effect with the roof angle, manual V-Path correction may be required for the DC1, DC2, DC4 and DC5 transducers.
