Sonatest X3AW-0L25-IHC / X3-SB57-N0L-IHC Phased Array 0-Degree (Normal Beam) Wedge - Irrigated, Hard-Face

Enhance the performance and durability of your Sonatest X3 series phased array system with this genuine Sonatest X3AW-0L25-IHC (or X3-SB57-N0L-IHC) Phased Array 0-Degree Wedge. This robust and precisely engineered wedge is designed for normal beam (0-degree) inspections, offering superior coupling and extended lifespan for a wide range of critical applications.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Dedicated for Sonatest X3 Phased Array Probes: Perfectly complements Sonatest X3 series phased array transducers, ensuring optimal acoustic matching and seamless integration for reliable data acquisition.

• 0-Degree (Normal Beam) Inspection: Designed to introduce longitudinal waves perpendicularly into the test material. Ideal for:

  • Accurate thickness measurement.

  • Detection of laminations, delaminations, and inclusions.

  • Corrosion mapping and wall thickness profiling.

  • Inspection of composite materials for internal defects.

• "IHC" - Irrigated with Hard-Face Contact: This crucial feature significantly improves inspection quality and efficiency:

  • Integrated Irrigation System: Allows for consistent and continuous couplant delivery to the probe-to-wedge interface and the wedge-to-material interface, ensuring stable acoustic coupling, especially during long scans or automated operations.

  • Hard-Face / Wear Pins: Equipped with a durable wear surface or integrated wear pins to minimize wear and tear on the wedge, extending its lifespan even when scanning on rough or abrasive surfaces. This protects your valuable phased array probe.

• Precision Acoustic Design: Manufactured to Sonatest's high standards, ensuring consistent refraction and optimal beam performance for accurate flaw detection and sizing.

• Robust Construction: Built to withstand demanding industrial environments, providing reliable performance in the field.
