The SIUI Probe Wedge TOFD, 45 Degree, Not Irrigation, Screw Thread Unit 3/8-32UNEF, is a precisely engineered ultrasonic wedge designed for use in Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) inspections. This single wedge is crafted to introduce an ultrasonic beam at a 45-degree angle into the test material, facilitating the detection and sizing of subsurface discontinuities.
This wedge is specifically designed to enable the generation and reception of diffracted ultrasonic waves, a fundamental principle of TOFD. The 45-degree angle provides a unique beam path and reflection characteristics compared to other angles, making it suitable for specific inspection scenarios and flaw orientations. This angle is often chosen based on the geometry of the test piece and the anticipated flaw characteristics.
A key feature of this wedge is its "Not Irrigation" design, indicating its compatibility with contact couplants, such as ultrasonic gels or pastes. This eliminates the need for liquid couplant irrigation systems, simplifying inspections in situations where liquid couplant delivery is impractical or undesirable.
The wedge incorporates a screw thread unit of 3/8-32UNEF, a standardized thread size that ensures secure and reliable mounting of TOFD probes. This thread size is widely used in ultrasonic testing equipment, ensuring compatibility with a broad range of probes.
Manufactured by SIUI, a reputable provider of ultrasonic testing equipment, this TOFD wedge is built to meet stringent quality standards and performance requirements. Its robust construction and precise design make it a valuable tool for critical inspections in industries such as oil and gas, aerospace, and manufacturing.
