The Sonatest X2BW-N60S-IHC Wedge is a high-performance phased array wedge engineered for precise ultrasonic testing. This crucial accessory is specifically designed to generate a 60-degree nominal refracted shear wave (S) within the material under inspection, a widely utilized angle for effective flaw detection across various applications.  

A key feature of this wedge is its Integrated Holes for Couplant (IHC). This innovative design ensures a consistent and optimal supply of couplant directly at the contact interface between the wedge and the test surface. By maintaining a reliable couplant film, the IHC system maximizes ultrasonic signal transmission, leading to enhanced data quality and inspection confidence.

As a part of Sonatest's respected X2 series, the X2BW-N60S-IHC wedge is built for dependable performance and seamless integration with Sonatest phased array transducers. Its robust construction ensures durability in demanding inspection environments, providing a long-lasting and reliable solution for your ultrasonic testing needs.
