NM01X0AW0033

The Sonatest X0AW-N45S-IHC is a highly specialized ultrasonic wedge designed for precision angled beam inspections in non-destructive testing (NDT) applications. This wedge is engineered to generate a 45-degree shear wave (SW) specifically within steel, achieved through a 39-degree cut angle that accounts for the refraction of ultrasonic waves. A key feature of this wedge is its integrated irrigation system, allowing for continuous couplant delivery during inspections, significantly enhancing efficiency and consistency, especially during prolonged testing. The wedge also incorporates a 3-inch Outside Diameter (OD) radius, optimizing the introduction of the ultrasonic beam into curved surfaces with a 3-inch OD, ensuring accurate and reliable inspections on these specific geometries. With a 0mm delay line, this wedge provides direct contact inspections. Manufactured by Sonatest, a renowned leader in NDT equipment, the X0AW-N45S-IHC wedge delivers exceptional performance, accuracy, and durability for critical inspections on curved surfaces.
