Sonatest X2A-10M16E-0.6x10-SQX2.5 Phased Array Probe - Versatile PAUT for General Purpose Inspections

Enhance your Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) capabilities with this Sonatest X2A-10M16E-0.6x10-SQX2.5 Phased Array Probe. Part of the renowned X2 Series, this general-purpose probe provides a powerful combination of high frequency and a practical number of elements, offering excellent resolution, adaptable beam steering, and reliable flaw detection for a wide array of industrial applications.

Key Features & Benefits:

• High Resolution (10 MHz): The 10 MHz operating frequency delivers excellent resolution, enabling the detection of small defects and precise characterization of flaws in various materials. Ideal for applications requiring detailed imaging.

• Flexible Beam Control (16 Elements): With 16 independent elements, this probe offers efficient beam steering and focusing capabilities. This allows you to:

  • Adjust beam angles to optimize detection for different flaw orientations.

  • Focus the ultrasonic energy at specific depths of interest.

  • Perform comprehensive sectorial scans (S-scans) and linear scans (L-scans) with good coverage.

• Practical Element Pitch (0.6mm): The 0.6mm element pitch provides a good balance between resolution and overall aperture for general-purpose inspections, offering clear imaging without excessive complexity.

• Optimal Elevation (10mm): Delivers a balanced acoustic aperture, contributing to a good signal-to-noise ratio and effective beam shaping.

• Integrated 2.5 Meter Cable: Comes with a robust, integrated 2.5-meter (approximately 8.2 ft) cable, providing ample reach and flexibility for various inspection setups without the need for additional, cumbersome cable connections.

• Quick I-PEX (QX) Connector: Features Sonatest's secure and fast Quick I-PEX (QX) latch connector system, ensuring a reliable connection to compatible Sonatest phased array instruments. An adapter bracket is typically included for broader compatibility.

• General Purpose Versatility: This probe is highly versatile and well-suited for a broad range of demanding applications, including:

  • Inspection of various weld types (butt, T-joints, corner joints)

  • Casting and Forging inspections

  • Component testing in automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing

  • Corrosion mapping
