NM01ST145LIHC

The ST1-45L-IHC is a specifically designed ultrasonic testing (UT) wedge optimized for use with conventional Time-of-Flight Diffraction (TOFD) UT probes, particularly Panametrics type probes with a 3mm element diameter. This wedge facilitates accurate and reliable TOFD inspections by generating a 60-degree longitudinal wave and incorporating enhanced features for optimal performance. It's manufactured by CT.  

Key Features:

• TOFD Application:

  • Engineered for use with conventional TOFD ultrasonic testing techniques, enabling precise flaw detection and sizing.

• Panametrics Probe Compatibility:

  • Designed to interface seamlessly with Panametrics type UT probes, ensuring proper signal transmission and compatibility.

• 3mm Element Diameter:

  • Optimized for probes with a 3mm element diameter, providing accurate signal coupling and transmission.

• 60-Degree Longitudinal Wave:

  • Generates a 60-degree longitudinal wave, essential for accurate TOFD inspections. Longitudinal waves travel through the test material in the direction of wave propagation.  

• IHC (Irrigation Holes and Carbides):

  • Includes "Irrigation Holes" for efficient couplant application, ensuring optimal ultrasonic wave transmission between the transducer and the test piece.  

  • Incorporates "Carbides" for increased wear resistance and durability, extending the wedge's operational lifespan.  

• CT Manufacturing:

  • Manufactured by CT, indicating adherence to specific manufacturing standards and quality control.

Applications:

• Time-of-Flight Diffraction (TOFD) Inspections:

  • Used in TOFD inspections for the precise detection and sizing of flaws in welds and materials.

• Weld Inspection:

  • Primarily used for the detection and characterization of weld defects, such as cracks and lack of fusion.

• Material Characterization:

  • Can be employed for analyzing material properties and identifying defects in various materials.
