NM01SD10N60SIHAOD88.9

This is a standard wedge engineered for use with a D10 phased-array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) probe. It's designed to perform angle beam inspections with a 60-degree shear wave, suitable for detecting flaws oriented at angles that are not perpendicular to the inspection surface.

The wedge is configured for a "Normal Scan," providing a linear scanning motion for consistent coverage. It features an "IH option," incorporating integrated irrigation holes and channels, allowing for the introduction of couplant between the wedge and the test surface. This ensures optimal ultrasonic coupling and signal transmission, particularly during extended inspections.

A key feature of this wedge is its curvature, specifically designed to match the outside diameter (OD) of pipes ranging from 2.875 inches (73.03 mm) to 3.5 inches (88.9 mm). This curvature is crucial for ensuring proper contact and consistent coupling when inspecting circumferential welds on these pipe sizes.

The construction of this wedge specifically excludes tungsten carbide inserts. This design choice may be preferred in applications where wear resistance is less critical than other factors, or where the material being inspected is sensitive to potential damage from carbide surfaces.

The wedge also incorporates Doppler capabilities, meaning that it is designed to be used in applications where the velocity of the material being inspected may be changing. This is especially useful in situations where the probe or material is moving during the inspection.

Key Features:

• D10 Probe Compatibility: Designed for use with D10 phased-array probes.

• 60° Shear Wave Generation: Introduces a 60-degree shear wave angle for angled inspections.

• Normal Scan: Provides a linear scanning pattern.

• IH Option (Irrigation): Integrated irrigation holes and channels for consistent couplant application.

• Curvature Matching: Matches 2.875 in. (73.03 mm) to 3.5 in. (88.9 mm) OD pipe for circumferential weld inspection.

• Absence of Carbide Inserts: Constructed without tungsten carbide inserts.

• Doppler Capabilities: Designed to be used in applications where the velocity of the material being inspected may be changing.

• Durable Material: Constructed from a durable polymer with good acoustic properties.

• Precisely Machined: Engineered for accurate beam angles and consistent performance.

Applications:

• Circumferential weld inspection on 2.875 in. to 3.5 in. OD pipes.

• Pipe and pipeline inspections.

• Pressure vessel inspections.

• General flaw detection in materials requiring angled inspections.

• Any PAUT application utilizing a D10 probe and requiring a 60-degree shear wave.

• Any application where there is a change in the velocity of the material being inspected.
