Sonatest X5AW-0L40 - X5 Series 0 Degree Longitudinal Wave Wedge (40mm Delay Line)

The Sonatest X5AW-0L40 is a 0-degree wedge from the robust X5 series, specifically designed for use with compatible Sonatest phased array probes. This wedge introduces a straight (0-degree) longitudinal wave beam into the test material. The "0L40" designation indicates a substantial 40mm thick delay line. This significant delay line is crucial for effectively separating the initial pulse and near-surface echoes from the signals of interest, providing superior near-surface resolution and enabling accurate measurements very close to the material's surface. The X5 series is known for its durable construction, making this wedge suitable for demanding inspection environments.

Key Features:

• X5 Series Wedge: Part of Sonatest's robust line of phased array wedges.

• 0 Degree Longitudinal Wave (L-Wave): Designed for introducing a straight beam, typically used for thickness gauging and detecting flaws oriented parallel to the beam axis.

• Significant 40mm Delay Line: Provides excellent near-surface resolution by separating the initial pulse and near-field effects.

• Optimized Coupling: Engineered for reliable and consistent ultrasonic transmission into the test material.

• Durable Construction: Built to withstand the rigors of industrial inspection environments.

• Compatibility: Specifically designed for use with compatible Sonatest X5 series phased array probes.

Applications:

• High-resolution thickness gauging of thin materials.

• Inspection of materials for near-surface flaws and laminations.

• Applications where the initial pulse interference needs to be completely eliminated from the area of interest.

• General-purpose straight beam ultrasonic testing using phased array technology, especially when near-surface detail is critical.
