Tapped Tips are a 2 piece design comprised of the Body and Flat Tip, both manufactured from a titanium alloy and machined to a specific diameter and shape.
The Flat Tip or radiating face will pit or erode in time and should be replaced when worn. Performance degrades in proportion to the degree of erosion or pitting which occurs at the radiating face, until a point is reached where the level of energy transmitted in the sample is significantly lessoned.
Titanium Tapped Tips are NOT recommended when processing liquids containing organic solvents or low surface tension samples.
