The DAAH Wedge, Type 1, External Mount, Rexolite, 37 degree, Radius 10", Axial (AOD), manufactured by Sonatest, is a high-precision ultrasonic wedge designed to facilitate angled beam inspections in a variety of non-destructive testing (NDT) applications. This wedge is engineered to provide accurate and reliable shear wave generation, enabling the detection and characterization of flaws in materials and structures.
The "Type 1" designation specifies a particular design and configuration, ensuring compatibility with specific transducers and inspection requirements. The "External Mount" feature indicates that the wedge is designed to be attached to the exterior of the transducer, providing flexibility and ease of use.
Constructed from Rexolite, a high-performance dielectric material, this wedge offers excellent acoustic properties, including low attenuation and high sound velocity. Rexolite's stability and resistance to environmental factors ensure consistent performance over a wide range of operating conditions.
The wedge is designed to refract the ultrasonic beam at a 37-degree angle, enabling the generation of shear waves within the test piece. This angle is commonly used for weld inspection and other applications requiring angled beam inspections.
The "Radius 10"" specification indicates that the contact surface of the wedge has a 10-inch radius, allowing it to conform to curved surfaces and improve acoustic coupling. This feature is particularly beneficial when inspecting pipes, cylindrical vessels, and other curved components.
The "Axial (AOD)" designation, likely standing for "Axial Outside Diameter," refers to the orientation or type of transducer connection. This ensures proper alignment and coupling between the transducer and the wedge.
Manufactured by Sonatest, a reputable provider of ultrasonic testing equipment and accessories, this DAAH wedge is built to meet stringent quality standards and performance requirements.
