General Guide to Transducer Selection

The Centurion NDT product line is continually growing with five major lines serving the contact market.  As new products are created, we will be adding them to our excellent product lines.

When selecting a transducer, choose from the following groups:  straight beam, and replaceable face.  Selection is simple (using the guide below).  When a special design is required, contact us and our engineering staff will respond.
