Re: UT probe Jack:
you can see the components on the ndt.net lexicon
http://www.ndt.net/article/az/ut_idx.htm
I suggest you purchase a pre-poled element and not try making one yourself. Get one with the leads already mounted so you do not destroy the element as you try soldering on the leads with improper heat input. I do not know if you have a prerequisite for frequency but try starting off with something under 4MHz as the thicker units are more robust. After that it is just figuring out how you want to hold the parts in place and the sort of housing you will use. If your application is rudimentary then no need for a protective front face.
Have fun!
Ed

Re: UT probe Ed,
Thank you very much for your kind reply.
Could you please help me with two more questions? Where do you recommend for buying a pre-poled element? What kind of backing material for the PZT active element?

Re: UT probe I recomend a PZT-5 from Morgan Matroc. Try with a 2 Mhz piezoceramic 25 mm diameter. A backing material can be made with epoxy resin with tungsten power. Connect two wires with a solder at the two faces of the ceramic and use a copper tube as a housing, with a BNC connector. Then it is important to make a front layer of a quarter of wavelength and to put an inductance in paralell with the wires. With a flaw detector adjust the inductance and the front layer, in order to obtain the best echo. The layer could be made with epoxig resin (AY103 with the hardering, or similar)
Best regards

| | |  FMC/TFMNext generation for Phased Array UT is here now with FMC/TFM! Have higher
resolution imaging, impr ... oved signal to noise ratio, characterize, size and analyze
defects better with access to several wave mode views and save raw FMC data for
higher quality analysis. Some of the benefits are:
- Beautiful Image! Easier to understand what you're looking at
- Completely focused in entire image or volume
- Much easier to define setups before inspection
- Easier to decipher geometry echoes from real defects
- Oriented defects (e.g. cracks) are imaged better
- See image from different wave modes from one FMC inspection
- FMC data can be reprocessed/analyzed without going back to the field
>  Cygnus 6+ PRO Multi-Mode Ultrasonic Thickness GaugeThe Cygnus 6+ PRO thickness gauge is the most advance gauge within
the Cygnus range with key featu ... res including: comprehensive data
logging; A-scan and B-scan display; manual gain control; Bluetooth
connectivity; and much more. With its unique dual display and three
measuring modes (Multiple-Echo, Echo-Echo and Single-Echo), this
surface thickness gauge offers maximum versatility for inspections. >  Teletest Focus+Teletest Focus+ electronics have superior capabilities than rivals on
the market. Beyond the usual ... test features, Focus+ has 24 transmit
channels and 24 receive channels, with an additional on-board
switching capabilities. The instrument's frequency range is 10–300
kHz. >  UCI Hardness Tester NOVOTEST T-U2UCI hardness tester NOVOTEST T-U2 is is used for non-destructive
hardness testing of:
metals and ... alloys by scales of hardness: Rockwell (HRC), Brinell
(HB), Vickers (HV);
non-ferrous metals, alloys of iron etc., and using five additional
scales for calibration;
with tensile strength (Rm) scale determines the tensile strength
of carbon steel pearlitic products by automatic recalculation from
Brinell (HB) hardness scale.
