Shock wave transducer and low damped transducer : Shock wave<br />

transducers should always be used <strong>for</strong> wall thickness measurement. For<br />

smaller wall thicknesses this is as important <strong>for</strong> the pulse separation as is the<br />

frequency itself. For large wall thickness the shock wave is required also <strong>for</strong> a<br />

perfect start and stop trigger of the time measurement. Low damped<br />

transducers are not recommended.<br />
