NM01SN45CT

These are ultrasonic transducer wedges, commonly referred to as "snail" or "curved" wedges, designed for use in contact ultrasonic testing. They are designed to create a 45-degree angle in the ultrasonic beam, and they are manufactured to AWS standards. The wedges have a 5/8" x 5/8" contact face, and are made in CT, likely referring to the manufacturer or the location of manufacture.

Key Features:

• Snail (AWS Type) Design:

  • The "snail" or curved profile allows for improved coupling and scanning on curved or irregular surfaces.

  • AWS type indicates compliance with standards set by the American Welding Society, ensuring quality and consistency.

• 45-Degree Angle:

  • The wedge is designed to introduce a 45-degree angle into the ultrasonic beam, which is commonly used for shear wave inspections.

• 5/8" x 5/8" Contact Face:

  • This specifies the dimensions of the contact surface between the wedge and the test piece, providing a standard size for compatibility with various transducers.

• CT:

  • This is most likely refering to the manufacturer, or the location of where the product was manufactured.

• Material:

  • Typically made from a durable plastic or polymer material with good acoustic properties.

Applications:

• Weld Inspection:

  • Used for detecting flaws in welds, such as cracks, porosity, and inclusions.

• Pipe Inspection:

  • Suitable for inspecting pipes and other curved surfaces.

• General Ultrasonic Testing:

  • Used in various ultrasonic testing applications where a 45-degree shear wave is required.
