The central frequency will also define the capabilities of a transducer.<br />

1. Lower frequencies (0.5MHz-2.25MHz) provide greater energy and<br />

penetration in a material,<br />

2. while high frequency crystals (15.0MHz-25.0MHz) provide reduced<br />

penetration but greater sensitivity to small discontinuities. High frequency<br />

transducers, when used with the proper instrumentation, can improve flaw<br />

resolution and thickness measurement capabilities dramatically.
