The Sonatest PA Wedge X2AW-N60S-IHC is a high-precision phased array (PA) ultrasonic wedge specifically engineered for the reliable and accurate inspection of curved surfaces with a 14-inch circumferential radius. This wedge incorporates advanced features, including integrated irrigation, to optimize coupling and ensure consistent ultrasonic signal transmission.
Key Features and Benefits:
Phased Array Wedge Design:
Designed to facilitate angled beam ultrasonic testing, enabling the detection of flaws in challenging geometries and on curved surfaces.
X2AW-N60S-IHC Model Designation:
This model designation provides detailed specifications:
"X2AW" signifies it's part of Sonatest's X2AW series, known for its robust construction and performance.
"N60S" likely indicates the wedge angle and material composition, tailored for specific inspection requirements.
"IHC" denotes integrated hydrostatic coupling, or irrigation.
Integrated Irrigation (IHC):
Equipped with 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.
14" Circumferential Radius:
Specifically designed to conform to curved surfaces with a 14-inch circumferential radius, ideal for inspecting larger diameter pipes, vessels, and other cylindrical components.
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.
Schedule "B" Classification:
This indicates the product is classified under the Schedule "B" statistical classification of domestic and foreign commodities exported from the United States. This is used for export documentation and tracking.
