The Sonatest DAAH Type 1 Wedge is a specialized ultrasonic wedge meticulously designed for precise angle beam inspections on curved surfaces. This wedge is engineered to facilitate accurate and reliable flaw detection, particularly in applications involving pipes and other components with a 6-inch radius curvature.
Constructed from Rexolite, a high-performance cross-linked polystyrene, this wedge offers exceptional ultrasonic transmission properties, ensuring minimal signal loss and optimal performance. Rexolite's consistent acoustic characteristics make it an ideal material for ultrasonic wedges, contributing to the accuracy and repeatability of inspection results.
The "Type 1" designation indicates a specific design within the DAAH wedge series, tailored for external mounting of the ultrasonic probe. This configuration allows for easy probe installation and removal, enhancing flexibility and efficiency during inspections.
The wedge is designed to create a 37-degree refracted angle within the test material, enabling the detection of flaws that are not perpendicular to the surface. This specific angle is often chosen for its effectiveness in detecting common defects in pipes and other curved components.
The 6-inch radius curvature of the wedge is a critical feature, allowing it to conform precisely to surfaces with a 6-inch radius. This ensures optimal coupling and consistent beam refraction, contributing to accurate inspection results.
The "Axial (AOD)" designation indicates that the ultrasonic beam is directed axially along the outside diameter of the curved surface. This beam direction is crucial for inspecting circumferential flaws in pipes and other cylindrical components.
Manufactured by Sonatest, a reputable provider of non-destructive testing (NDT) equipment, the DAAH Type 1 wedge is built to stringent quality standards, ensuring reliable and consistent performance in demanding industrial environments.
