©2026 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.An immersion transducer is a single element longitudinal wave transducer with a 1/4 wavelength layer acoustically matched to water. Immersion transducers are specifically designed to transmit ultrasound in applications where the test parts are partially or wholly immersed in water, which allows a uniform and fast coupling technique for rapid scanning of parts.

| Acoustic properties of sediments collected from the Northern Gulf of Mexico following laboratory resuspension at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab in 2020 | A custom acoustic set-up was used as described in Dorgan et al. 2020. As part of the set-up, Olympus immersion transducers (V318-SU) were mounted on an aluminum frame at a distance of 24.3 cm, which exceeded the diameter of the core, leaving water between the transducers and core walls. | Olympus immersion transducers (V318-SU) |
