NM01X0AW0033.5

The Sonatest X0AW-N45S-IHC is a specialized ultrasonic wedge meticulously designed for precise angled beam inspections on curved surfaces within 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 critical feature of this wedge is its integrated irrigation system, providing continuous and consistent couplant delivery during inspections, significantly enhancing efficiency and reliability, particularly during extended testing periods. This model is tailored for inspecting surfaces with a 3.5-inch Outside Diameter (OD) radius, ensuring optimal ultrasonic beam coupling and transmission on these specific geometries. With a 0mm delay line, it facilitates 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 with a 3.5" OD.
