Abstract
An ultrasonic transducer assembly for making measurements within a fluid, the assembly including a transducer, a backing member and a matching member all supported within a cylindrical metal housing with the transmitting face of the housing being sealed with a thin sealing element formed of a non-resilient relatively high impedance material encasing a matching layer having an acoustic impedance intermediate between that of the transducer element and the fluid. The thickness of the sealing element is between 1/10 and 1/1000th of a wavelength at the center frequency of the wave emitted by the transducer.
