NM01X2AW009

The Sonatest PA Wedge X2AW-N60S-IHC, featuring radiusing/contouring and integrated irrigation, is a highly adaptable phased array (PA) ultrasonic wedge designed for the reliable and accurate inspection of surfaces with varying curvatures and complex geometries. This wedge provides exceptional versatility and consistent performance in demanding inspection scenarios.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Phased Array Wedge Design:

  • Enables angled beam ultrasonic testing, facilitating the detection of flaws in challenging geometries and on non-uniform surfaces.

• X2AW-N60S-IHC Model Designation:

  • Provides detailed specifications:

    • "X2AW": Indicates it belongs to Sonatest's X2AW series, known for its robust construction and performance.

    • "N60S": Likely specifies the wedge angle and material composition, tailored for specific inspection requirements.

    • "IHC": Denotes integrated hydrostatic coupling, or irrigation.

• Radiusing / Contouring:

  • The wedge's contact surface is designed with radiusing or contouring, allowing it to adapt to surfaces with varying curvatures and complex geometries.

  • This feature enhances versatility and eliminates the need for multiple wedges for different surface profiles.

• Integrated Irrigation (IHC):

  • Features internal channels for consistent couplant (typically water) delivery to the wedge-to-surface interface.

  • Ensures uniform and reliable coupling, enhancing signal transmission and inspection repeatability.

  • Reduces the need for manual couplant application, improving inspection efficiency and consistency.

• Sonatest Quality and Reliability:

  • Manufactured by Sonatest, a reputable leader in NDT equipment, guaranteeing high quality, durability, and consistent performance.

• Enhanced Inspection Performance:

  • Provides optimal beam control, consistent coupling, and reliable ultrasonic signal transmission for accurate and repeatable inspections on complex surfaces.
