Sonatest PA Wedge X2AW-N45S-IHC - 45° Shear Wave, Irrigated, Contoured for 6" Pipe

Unlock Flawless Phased Array Inspections on 6" Diameter Pipes – Precision Engineered for Performance!

Maximize the accuracy and efficiency of your Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) on curved surfaces with the specialized Sonatest PA Wedge X2AW-N45S-IHC. This premium wedge, meticulously engineered for Sonatest's X2 series probes, is specifically contoured for perfect acoustic coupling on 6-inch (152.4mm) diameter pipes, making it an indispensable tool for pipeline integrity, pressure vessel inspection, and other cylindrical component assessments.

Designed for demanding NDT environments, this wedge integrates advanced features that ensure consistent coupling, extended lifespan, and superior data acquisition, allowing you to detect critical flaws with unparalleled confidence.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Precision Contouring for 6" Pipes: The bottom contact surface is precisely machined to match the curvature of a 6-inch diameter pipe, guaranteeing optimal acoustic coupling, stable signal transmission, and accurate beam propagation crucial for reliable inspection results on cylindrical geometries.

• Optimal 45° Shear Wave Angle: Generates a 45-degree refracted shear wave in steel, ideal for efficiently detecting a wide range of critical flaws, including cracks, lack of fusion, and volumetric defects in welds and parent material.

• Integrated Irrigation System (I): Features internal channels for continuous, controlled delivery of ultrasonic couplant. This vital system ensures consistent acoustic coupling between the probe, wedge, and test piece, even during long or rapid scans, preventing signal loss and improving data reliability.

• Durable Carbide Wear Pins (C): Strategically embedded carbide pins on the contact surface dramatically extend the lifespan of the wedge by protecting the softer material from wear and abrasion, ensuring sustained accuracy and reducing replacement costs.

• Integrated Mounting Holes (H): Designed with precision mounting holes for secure attachment to automated or semi-automated scanners. This allows for encoded scanning, ensuring consistent pressure, precise probe positioning, and accurate scan data for comprehensive mapping and defect location.

• Engineered for Sonatest X2 Series Probes: Ensures perfect compatibility and synergistic performance with your Sonatest X2 series phased array probes, guaranteeing the highest quality data from your PAUT system.

• Uncompromised Signal Integrity: The combination of precise contouring, continuous irrigation, and robust construction delivers superior signal-to-noise ratio, enabling clearer defect detection and characterization.

Ideal For:

• Pipeline Inspectors

• Pressure Vessel Technicians

• NDT Professionals specializing in Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT)

• Inspection of cylindrical components (6" diameter) in Oil & Gas, Power Generation, Chemical Processing, and Manufacturing industries.
