Abstract
Multi-directional ultrasonic transducers useful for small downhole applications where two or more separate or larger transducers are too large. The transducer includes a backing material having two or more piezoelectric elements attached thereto. The piezoelectric elements are attached to the backing such that each elements transmit ultrasounds in different directions. An encapsulating material surrounds both the piezoelectric elements and the backing. Since the piezoelectric elements share the same backing and the same encapsulation, the form factor of the multi-directional transducer is greatly reduced in comparison to conventional transducer designs.
