The 45 degree 3/8" wedge, manufactured by Dakota Ultrasonics, is a precision-engineered ultrasonic wedge designed to facilitate accurate and efficient angled beam inspections in a variety of non-destructive testing (NDT) applications. This wedge is specifically designed for use with 3/8-inch diameter Quality Control (QC) probes, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility.
This wedge is designed to refract the ultrasonic beam at a 45-degree angle, enabling the generation of shear waves within the test piece. This specific angle is commonly used for weld inspection, corrosion monitoring, and other applications requiring angled beam inspections to detect subsurface flaws. The 45 degree angle provides a different beam path and reflection characteristics compared to other angles, and is often chosen based on the geometry of the test piece and the expected flaw orientation.
The "3/8"" specification indicates that this wedge is designed to be used with ultrasonic transducers that have a 3/8-inch diameter. This ensures proper alignment and coupling between the transducer and the wedge, maximizing signal transmission and minimizing signal loss.
The "QC probe" designation signifies that this wedge is intended for use with probes designed for routine quality control inspections. These probes are typically robust and reliable, making them suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Manufactured by Dakota Ultrasonics, a reputable provider of ultrasonic testing equipment, this wedge is built to meet stringent quality standards and performance requirements. The materials used in its construction are selected for their acoustic properties and durability, ensuring consistent and reliable performance over time.
