NM01X0AW0032

The Sonatest X0AW-N45S-IHC is a precisely engineered ultrasonic wedge designed for specialized angled beam inspections on curved surfaces within the realm of non-destructive testing (NDT). This wedge is meticulously crafted to generate a 45-degree shear wave (SW) specifically in steel, achieved through a carefully calculated 39-degree cut angle that accommodates the refraction of ultrasonic waves. A defining feature of this wedge is its integrated irrigation system, ensuring consistent and continuous couplant delivery throughout inspections, thereby significantly improving efficiency and reliability, particularly during extended testing periods. Notably, this model is specifically tailored for inspections on surfaces with a 2-inch Outside Diameter (OD) radius, guaranteeing optimal ultrasonic beam coupling and transmission on these specific geometries. With a 0mm delay line, it enables direct contact inspections. Manufactured by Sonatest, a recognized leader in NDT equipment, the X0AW-N45S-IHC wedge delivers exceptional performance, accuracy, and durability for critical inspections on curved surfaces with a 2" OD.
