The DAAH Wedge, Type 1, External Mount, Rexolite, 37 degree, Radius 8", Axial (AOD), manufactured by Sonatest, is a precision-engineered ultrasonic wedge designed to facilitate accurate and reliable angled beam inspections in non-destructive testing (NDT) applications, particularly on medium-sized curved surfaces.

This wedge is designed to be externally mounted on ultrasonic transducers, providing a versatile solution for shear wave inspections. The "Type 1" designation specifies a particular design and configuration, ensuring compatibility with specific transducers and inspection requirements.

Constructed from Rexolite, a high-performance dielectric material, this wedge exhibits excellent acoustic properties, including low attenuation and high sound velocity. Rexolite's stability and resistance to environmental factors ensure consistent performance in various operating conditions.

The wedge is engineered 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, pipe inspection, and other applications requiring angled beam inspections.

The crucial feature of this wedge is its "Radius 8"" specification. This indicates that the contact surface of the wedge has an 8-inch radius, allowing it to conform to medium-sized curved surfaces, such as pipes with medium diameters or other cylindrical components. This feature ensures optimal acoustic coupling and accurate inspections on these challenging geometries.

The "Axial (AOD)" designation, likely standing for "Axial Outside Diameter," specifies the orientation or type of transducer connection, ensuring 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.
