Sonatest — Standard 70° Wedge for 1/2" × 1" Probe (AOD 3.5" Dia.)
Angle Beam Wedge for Ultrasonic Testing Applications SKU: SW5170-3.5Overview
The Sonatest Standard 70° Wedge is a precision ultrasonic accessory designed for angle beam inspections using 1/2" × 1" probes. Engineered to generate a 70° refracted shear wave, this wedge enables accurate detection and evaluation of weld defects such as cracks, lack of fusion, and inclusions.
With an Active Offset Distance (AOD) of 3.5 inches, this configuration provides optimized beam positioning for specific inspection geometries, allowing improved access and coverage in weld inspection applications. The wedge ensures stable probe coupling and consistent beam entry, supporting reliable and repeatable inspection results.
Designed for compatibility with Sonatest ultrasonic systems, this wedge is ideal for use in industries such as oil & gas, power generation, and fabrication where precision and consistency are essential.
