Zusammenfassung: | An ultrasonic transducer (101) for use in a downhole measurement tool (58) is provided. The ultrasonic transducer includes a piezoelectric element (100) coupled to a backing (102), and enclosed within a compliant material housing (112). The compliant material housing may be flexible for withstanding extreme temperatures, pressures, and mechanical shocks that may be present in downhole environments. A method for fabricating the ultrasonic sensor is also provided. |
