Dakota NDT — Snail Shear Wave Wedge SNW6270 (70°, 5/8" × 5/8")
Compact Angle Beam UT Wedge for Precision Weld InspectionOverview
The Dakota NDT SNW6270 Snail Shear Wave Wedge is a compact ultrasonic wedge designed for angle beam inspections using 5/8" × 5/8" probes. Configured to produce a 70° refracted shear wave, this wedge is ideal for detecting weld defects such as cracks, lack of fusion, and inclusions.
Its “snail” design allows enhanced maneuverability and access in tight or restricted inspection areas, making it particularly effective for complex weld geometries and confined spaces. The compact form ensures stable probe positioning and consistent beam entry, supporting accurate and repeatable inspection results.
Engineered for compatibility with Dakota NDT ultrasonic systems and standard UT probes, this wedge is widely used in fabrication, structural inspection, and welding quality control applications.
