Sonatest PA Wedge X2AW-N55S-IHC - 10" AOD Contoured Wedge for Phased Array
The Sonatest X2AW-N55S-IHC is a high-performance phased array wedge specifically designed for optimal coupling on surfaces with a 10-inch Axial Outside Diameter (AOD). This Type X2AW wedge provides a 55-degree refracted shear wave in steel for reliable flaw detection. Constructed from durable Rexolite, it features integrated irrigation for consistent couplant delivery and wear pins (likely with carbide inserts) for extended service life. The contoured base ensures excellent contact and signal transmission during axial scanning on 10-inch OD pipes and other curved components.
Key Features:
Specifically Contoured for 10" AOD: Ensures optimal and consistent coupling on 10-inch Axial Outside Diameter surfaces.
55 Degree Shear Wave (Steel): Provides a standard refracted angle for effective flaw detection in steel.
X2 Series Compatibility: Designed for use with Sonatest and other compatible phased array probes.
Rexolite Construction: Offers excellent acoustic transmission properties and wear resistance.
Integrated Irrigation (I): Allows for consistent couplant application during scanning.
Wear Pins (H): Protects the wedge contact surface from abrasion.
Carbide Inserts (C): Enhances the durability and wear resistance of the wear pins.
Axial Scanning Optimization: Ideal for scanning along the axis of pipes and other cylindrical structures with a 10-inch OD.
Benefits for Your Phased Array Inspections:
Superior Coupling on 10" OD Surfaces: The precise contour ensures optimal signal transmission.
Reliable Shear Wave Inspection: The 55-degree angle is effective for detecting various flaw orientations.
Consistent Performance: Integrated irrigation maintains stable coupling conditions.
Extended Wedge Life: Wear pins with carbide inserts minimize wear during scanning.
This Sonatest PA Wedge X2AW-N55S-IHC with a 10" AOD contour is an essential accessory for NDT professionals performing axial phased array inspections on pipes and components with a 10-inch outside diameter, providing reliable coupling and performance.
