Zusammenfassung:	An ultrasonic patch transducer is configured to be secured to an outer surface of a structural asset, such as a pipe or pressure vessel, for condition monitoring. The ultrasonic patch transducer includes a housing defining a centerline between a first end of the housing and a second end of the housing, a piezoelectric element within the housing and positioned along the centerline, and at least two magnets within the housing and positioned along the centerline. The at least two magnets and the piezoelectric element are configured to be positioned along a tangent plane of the structural asset.
