The ULSO Standard Wedge is a high-quality, precision-engineered component designed to facilitate accurate angle beam phased-array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) inspections. Specifically tailored for use with A11 type phased-array probes, this wedge is crucial for directing ultrasonic shear waves at a precise 55-degree refracted angle into steel test materials.
This wedge is designed for normal scan applications, providing a reliable and consistent interface between the phased-array probe and the test piece. The 55-degree refracted angle is a standard and highly effective choice for detecting and characterizing various weld defects, including cracks, lack of fusion, and porosity.
The "FLAT" designation indicates that the contact surface of the wedge is flat, ensuring a stable and uniform coupling with the test material. This flat surface is essential for consistent beam propagation and accurate data acquisition.
Constructed from high-quality materials, the ULSO Standard Wedge offers excellent acoustic properties and durability. Its design ensures minimal signal attenuation and optimal transmission of ultrasonic shear waves, contributing to the accuracy and reliability of PAUT inspections.
Manufactured or supplied by ULSO, this wedge is produced to stringent quality standards, ensuring compatibility and reliable performance with A11 type phased-array probes and various PAUT systems.
