NM0116N00L40I

The SIUI PHASED ARRAY WEDGE 16N00L-20, featuring a 40 mm Delay Block and integrated Irrigation, is a highly specialized ultrasonic wedge designed for advanced phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) applications where exceptional near-surface resolution and consistent coupling are paramount. This wedge is engineered to provide an extended time delay and continuous couplant delivery, effectively enhancing the clarity and accuracy of inspections in demanding industrial environments.

The defining feature of this wedge is its 40 mm delay block, which introduces a significant physical separation between the phased array probe and the test material. This results in a substantial reduction of near-surface reflections and noise, enabling the detection and characterization of very shallow flaws that might otherwise be obscured in conventional ultrasonic testing.

Furthermore, the integrated Irrigation system ensures a continuous and consistent supply of liquid couplant to the probe-to-material interface. This feature is crucial for maintaining optimal acoustic coupling, especially during prolonged inspections or on materials with irregular surfaces. It eliminates the need for manual couplant application, improving efficiency and repeatability.

The 16N00L-20 model designation signifies a specific design tailored for precise inspection requirements. This wedge is meticulously manufactured to ensure consistent acoustic properties and reliable performance in critical applications. It is designed to seamlessly integrate with compatible SIUI phased array probes, allowing for optimal beam steering, focusing, and data acquisition.

This phased array wedge is particularly valuable for applications where ultra-high near-surface resolution and consistent coupling are essential, including:

• Critical Weld Inspections: Detecting and characterizing shallow defects in welds of critical structures, ensuring structural integrity and safety.
