Sonatest X2BW-0L25 Phased Array 0-Degree Longitudinal Wave Wedge

Enhance your ultrasonic inspections with the Sonatest X2BW-0L25 Phased Array 0-Degree Longitudinal Wave Wedge. This high-quality, flat wedge is specifically designed to provide stable coupling and optimal sound transmission for straight beam (normal incidence) inspections when paired with Sonatest X2 series phased array probes. Ideal for general-purpose applications requiring precise thickness measurements and reliable detection of laminations or other flaws perpendicular to the surface.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Dedicated for Sonatest X2 Series Probes: Perfectly complements Sonatest X2 series phased array transducers, ensuring optimal acoustic matching and seamless integration for accurate data acquisition.

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

  • Accurate thickness measurement.

  • Detection of laminations, delaminations, and inclusions.

  • Corrosion mapping where straight beam access is required.

  • Ensuring sound travels directly through the material for volumetric inspection.

• Longitudinal Wave (L-Wave) Transmission: Optimized for L-wave generation, providing excellent penetration characteristics for most engineering materials.

• Optimal Dimensions for Versatility: With a 25mm width, it's compatible with a range of X2 series probes, offering good coverage for various inspection scenarios.

• Durable Rexolite Construction: Manufactured from high-quality Rexolite, known for its excellent acoustic properties and durability in standard industrial environments (up to 60°C / 140°F).

• Essential Probe Protection: Acts as a sacrificial layer, protecting the delicate face of your expensive phased array probe from wear and abrasion during scanning.

• Sonatest Quality: Built to Sonatest's exacting standards, ensuring consistent performance and long-term reliability in demanding NDT applications.
