<p>An ultrasonic transducer includes a wear plate (2), a piezoelectric element (8) arranged rearwards of the wear plate and a rigid block (16) arranged rearwards of the piezoelectric element and configured to provide a backing mass for the piezoelectric element. The wear plate extends across the piezoelectric element and rearwards so as to provide a cap over the piezoelectric element and sides of at least a forward portion of the rigid block.</p> |
