My question is this: 1) Can I use Teflon for my shoe, which has a sound velocity of 1.35km/s (cl) and 0km/s(ct). (so in theory should be OK) 2) Are there other materials that would be better suited for this heavy beam bending?... (even slower than Telfon) 3) Since it has a 0km/s transverse velocity, would it not be better than materials that do have a bulk modulus? 4) Are there any suggestions on how I can bend my beam such that I can get into the limited space, and what are your experiences concerning these applications. (I cannot get smaller probes, so changing the shoe is my only alternative, the probe is a Phased array probe).

Introducing TOPAZ64, the industry’s most intelligent fully integrated, portable 64-channel phased ... array ultrasound (UT) instrument. TOPAZ64 combines code-compliant phased array UT with the industry’s most advanced full matrix capture (FMC) and total focusing method (TFM) capabilities. Featuring the highest acquisition frequency in its class, high resolution FMC and a 12” multi-touchscreen, users can easily visualize even the smallest flaws. TOPAZ64 can generate a bipolar pulse that provides more acoustic energy versus previous models for punching through thick components. The result is a portable tool that delivers increased inspection coverage, more accurate signals, and the ability to handle all UT inspections in one package. TOPAZ64 is ideal for challenging applications in transportation, oil and gas, manufacturing and power generation. > 5 Showcases5 Videos Panther StandEddyfi Technologies / M2M M2M PANTHER is a phased-array equipment designed for both desktop and industrial applications, offer ... ing unparalleled performance in a compact unit.
