Keep Equipment Clean
Keep dust from accumulating on or in the equipment, particularly with regards to the ultrasonic
transducers. Gently blow or tap any dust or particles out of the open end of the transducers.
Dust and particles (also water) can cause the transducers to malfunction. DO NOT IMMERSE
THE TRANSDUCERS IN WATER!!! This WILL damage them. The technology behind the
Curlin-AIR is a novel approach to industrial ultrasonic inspection both in concept and in
practice. As a result the transducers are not conventional in fabrication and will not tolerate
submersion as typical immersion transducers do.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
NDT SYSTEMS is available to assist with the application and operation of the Curlin-AIR
systems, including the design of reference samples.
