Sonatest — Standard 70° Wedge for 1/2" × 1" Probe (AOD 3" Dia.)
Angle Beam Wedge for Ultrasonic Testing Applications SKU: SW5170-3Overview
The Sonatest Standard 70° Wedge is a precision ultrasonic accessory designed for angle beam inspections using 1/2" × 1" probes. Engineered to produce a 70° refracted shear wave, this wedge enables accurate detection and evaluation of flaws such as cracks, lack of fusion, and inclusions in welds and structural components.
With an Active Offset Distance (AOD) of 3 inches, the wedge ensures proper beam entry positioning and consistent inspection geometry, supporting reliable and repeatable results. Its design provides stable coupling and precise probe alignment, making it suitable for both manual and encoded ultrasonic inspections.
Manufactured for compatibility with Sonatest probes and systems, this wedge is ideal for weld inspection applications across industries such as oil & gas, power generation, and fabrication.
