NM01ULSOST170LIHC150AOD

The ST1 Wedge, 70°, IHC, 150mm AOD, ULSO, is a specialized ultrasonic testing (UT) wedge designed for angle beam inspections on curved surfaces, particularly pipes. This wedge is engineered to produce a 70-degree angle ultrasonic beam and incorporates features for enhanced performance and durability.

Key Features:

• ST1 Wedge Designation: This alphanumeric designation represents a specific model of ultrasonic wedge, indicating its particular specifications and capabilities.

• 70-Degree Angle Beam: The wedge is designed to generate a 70-degree angle ultrasonic beam, a standard angle used in shear wave inspections for detecting flaws that are not perpendicular to the test surface.

• IHC (Irrigation Holes and Carbides): This indicates that the wedge includes irrigation holes for efficient couplant application, ensuring optimal sound transmission. Additionally, it features carbide inserts or coatings for increased wear resistance and extended service life.

• 150mm AOD (Approximate Outside Diameter): This specification indicates that the wedge is designed for use on pipes or curved surfaces with an approximate outside diameter of 150mm, ensuring proper contact and scanning geometry.

• ULSO Manufacturer/Supplier: ULSO is the manufacturer or supplier of this ultrasonic wedge, indicating a specific source and potential quality standards.

Applications:

• Pipe Inspection: Used for inspecting pipes and other curved surfaces for flaws such as cracks, corrosion, and inclusions.

• Weld Inspection on Curved Surfaces: Employed for inspecting welds on pipes and other curved components.

• General Angle Beam Ultrasonic Testing: Applied in various UT applications requiring a 70-degree angle beam on curved surfaces.
