Acoustic transducer mounting clamp

摘要

An acoustic transducer mounting clamp for holding an acoustic transducer against a test surface utilizing fatigue resistant adhesive so as to facilitate the use of a gel couplant at the interface of the transducer and the test surface. The clamp has a base adhesively bondable to the test surface with the fatigue resistant adhesive; and a holder formed to the base and configured to hold the acoustic transducer in contact with the test surface with gel couplant disposed at the interface of the transducer and the test surface. The fatigue resistant adhesive maintains positioning of the acoustic transducer in contact with the test surface and the gel couplant facilitates transmission of acoustic energy from the test surface to the acoustic transducer.
