NM01X2BW0038

The Sonatest X2BW-N60S Wedge is a precision-engineered ultrasonic testing accessory specifically designed for accurate inspections on curved surfaces, particularly pipes with an 8-inch Average Outside Diameter (AOD). This wedge is crucial for ensuring proper coupling and optimal ultrasonic beam propagation when inspecting cylindrical or curved components.

The defining feature of the X2BW-N60S is its custom-machined radius, precisely configured to match an 8-inch AOD pipe. This curvature ensures a seamless interface between the ultrasonic probe and the pipe's surface, minimizing signal loss and maximizing the accuracy of inspection results. By conforming to the pipe's profile, the wedge facilitates consistent and reliable ultrasonic measurements, crucial for detecting and characterizing flaws.

This wedge is manufactured by Sonatest, a reputable leader in ultrasonic testing equipment. The X2BW-N60S is constructed from high-quality materials, ensuring durability and long-term performance in demanding industrial environments. Its robust design is intended to withstand the rigors of field inspections and provide consistent results over time.  

The X2BW-N60S wedge is designed to be used in conjunction with appropriate ultrasonic probes, allowing for various inspection techniques, including angle beam and phased array testing. Its compatibility with Sonatest probes ensures seamless integration and optimal performance.
