Zusammenfassung:A casing of an ultrasonic transducer assembly incudes a first portion, a second portion, and at least one seal member. The first portion includes a ridge disposed on a first mating surface of the first portion. The second portion includes a trough defined within a second mating surface of the second portion and configured to receive the ridge of the first portion. The at least one seal member extends from the first mating surface of the first portion inwardly of the ridge and/or the second mating surface of the second portion inwardly of the trough. The first mating surface of the first portion and the second mating surface of the second portion are configured to be fused to one another. The fusion and the at least one seal member establish a hermetic seal between the first and second mating surfaces.
