CT — Snail (AWS Type) Wedge SNW (45°, 5/8" × 5/8")
Compact Angle Beam UT Wedge for Weld Inspection Applications SKU: SN45CTOverview
The CT Snail (AWS Type) Wedge SNW is a compact ultrasonic wedge designed for angle beam inspections in accordance with AWS inspection practices. Featuring a 45° refracted shear wave and a 5/8" × 5/8" probe size configuration, this wedge is ideal for precise weld inspection and defect evaluation.
The “snail” style design allows for improved maneuverability and access in tight or restricted inspection areas, making it particularly useful for complex weld geometries and confined spaces. Its compact form factor ensures stable probe positioning and consistent beam entry, supporting accurate and repeatable inspection results.
Engineered for compatibility with standard UT probes and flaw detectors, this wedge is widely used in fabrication, structural inspection, and welding quality control applications.
