NM01AWW070
The AWS SNAIL WEDGE 0.625" X 0.625", 70 Degree, manufactured by NDT Systems, is a specialized ultrasonic transducer wedge designed for angle beam inspections in non-destructive testing (NDT) applications. This wedge is engineered to meet American Welding Society (AWS) standards, ensuring quality and consistency in ultrasonic testing.
Key Features:
AWS Compliance: This designation indicates that the wedge adheres to the quality standards established by the American Welding Society, ensuring reliable performance in demanding applications.
Snail Wedge Design: The "snail" or curved profile of the wedge enhances coupling and scanning capabilities, particularly on curved or irregular surfaces, providing optimal contact and signal transmission.
0.625" X 0.625" Contact Face: This specifies the precise dimensions of the contact surface between the wedge and the test material, ensuring compatibility with standard ultrasonic transducers.
70-Degree Angle Beam: The wedge is designed to introduce a 70-degree angle into the ultrasonic beam, facilitating accurate shear wave inspections for detecting flaws at specific angles within the test material.
NDT Systems Manufacturing: Manufactured by NDT Systems, a provider of NDT equipment and solutions, ensuring quality and reliability.
Applications:
Weld Inspection: Used for the detection of flaws, such as cracks, porosity, and inclusions, in weldments.
Pipe Inspection: Suitable for inspecting pipes and other curved surfaces where angle beam techniques are required.
General Angle Beam Ultrasonic Testing: Applied in various NDT applications requiring a 70-degree shear wave for accurate flaw detection.
Importance:
Angle Beam Accuracy: The 70-degree angle provides precise control over the ultrasonic beam, enabling accurate detection of angled flaws.
Enhanced Coupling: The curved profile improves coupling, especially on curved surfaces, ensuring optimal signal transmission.
Standardized Quality: AWS compliance ensures the wedge meets industry standards for quality and performance.
