The Sonatest X3AW-N55S-IHC Wedge is a precision-engineered accessory designed to optimize your phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) inspections. Specifically crafted for use with Sonatest X3 Series phased array probes, this wedge facilitates reliable shear wave (S) examinations at a nominal refracted angle of 55 degrees in steel.

What sets this wedge apart is its Integrated High Conformability (IHC) design. This innovative feature ensures superior coupling and more consistent data acquisition, particularly when inspecting components with curved, uneven, or complex surface geometries. The enhanced contact provided by the IHC design translates to improved signal transmission and reception, leading to more accurate and dependable inspection results.
