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.
