NM01X2AW0098

The Sonatest PA Wedge X2AW-N60S-IHC is a specialized phased array (PA) wedge designed for efficient and reliable ultrasonic inspection of curved surfaces, specifically those with an 8-inch circumferential radius. This wedge incorporates advanced features, including integrated irrigation, to ensure consistent coupling and optimal inspection performance.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Phased Array Wedge Design:

  • Designed to angle the ultrasonic beam, enabling inspections at specific angles and improving access to challenging geometries.

• X2AW-N60S-IHC Model Designation:

  • This specific model designation provides detailed information about the wedge's configuration:

    • "X2AW" indicates it belongs to Sonatest's X2AW wedge series, known for its robust construction and performance.

    • "N60S" likely specifies the wedge angle and material composition, tailored for specific inspection requirements.

    • "IHC" denotes integrated hydrostatic coupling, or irrigation.

    • 
      

• Integrated Irrigation (IHC):

  • Features integrated channels for delivering couplant (typically water) to the interface between the wedge and the test piece.

  • Ensures consistent and uniform coupling, improving signal transmission and inspection reliability.

  • Reduces the need for manual couplant application, enhancing inspection efficiency.

• 8" Circumferential Radius:

  • Specifically designed to fit curved surfaces with an 8-inch circumferential radius, making it ideal for inspecting pipes, cylindrical vessels, and other curved components.

• Sonatest Quality and Reliability:

  • Manufactured by Sonatest, a reputable leader in NDT equipment, ensuring high quality, durability, and consistent performance.
