Sonatest X2AW-N55S-IHC - Phased Array Wedge, 55° Shear Wave, 36" AOD Radius, with Irrigation
This Sonatest X2AW-N55S-IHC is a high-performance phased array wedge engineered to produce a 55-degree refracted shear wave specifically optimized for inspecting curved surfaces with a 36-inch Axial Outside Diameter (AOD). The precisely contoured base ensures optimal and consistent coupling, maximizing ultrasonic transmission and providing accurate beam angles during axial scanning on pipes and similar components with this specific curvature.
The inclusion of Integrated Holes for Couplant (IHC) guarantees a continuous and even distribution of couplant directly at the contact surface. This is crucial for maintaining strong signal quality and reliable results, especially during extended scans. Built with durability in mind, this wedge is designed to withstand demanding inspection environments.
Key Features:
55 Degree Shear Wave: Provides a standard refracted angle for effective flaw detection in steel.
36" AOD Radius Contour: Precisely shaped for optimal coupling on surfaces with a 36-inch Axial Outside Diameter (AOD).
Integrated Irrigation (IHC): Ensures consistent couplant delivery for reliable signal transmission.
X2 Series Compatibility: Designed for use with Sonatest and other compatible phased array probes.
Durable Construction: Built to withstand the demands of industrial inspection environments.
Applications:
Axial weld inspection on pipes and tubes with a 36-inch Axial Outside Diameter.
Corrosion mapping and defect detection on curved surfaces with a 36-inch radius.
Applications requiring optimal angle beam performance on cylindrical components of this specific size.
