PIEZOELECTRIC ULTRASONIC TRANSDUCER FOR OPERATION IN PRESSURIZED GASES

CSIC have developed a Piezoelectric Ultrasonic Transducer for operation in pressurized gases and adaptive to the level of external pressure capable of operating in pulse-echo mode with high sensitivity and high axial resolution to detect echoes generated by a solid body (such as echo of the first surface - front wall -, or echoes of internal discontinuities, or the echo of the rear wall).

Industrial partners from refinery, chemical plant and pipeline operators are being sought to collaborate through a patent licence agreement.
