The Sonatest PA Wedge X2AW-N60S-IHC is a high-precision phased array (PA) ultrasonic wedge engineered for the accurate and reliable inspection of curved surfaces with a 10-inch circumferential radius. This wedge incorporates integrated hydrostatic coupling (IHC), or irrigation, to optimize coupling and ensure consistent ultrasonic signal transmission.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Phased Array Wedge Design:

  • Facilitates angled beam ultrasonic testing, enabling the detection of flaws in challenging geometries and on curved surfaces.

• X2AW-N60S-IHC Model Designation:

  • Provides detailed specifications:

    • "X2AW": Indicates it belongs to Sonatest's X2AW series, known for its robust construction and performance.

    • "N60S": Likely specifies the wedge angle and material composition, tailored for specific inspection requirements.

    • "IHC": Denotes integrated hydrostatic coupling, or irrigation.

• Integrated Irrigation (IHC):

  • Features internal channels for consistent couplant (typically water) delivery to the wedge-to-surface interface.

  • Ensures uniform and reliable coupling, enhancing signal transmission and inspection repeatability.

  • Reduces the need for manual couplant application, improving inspection efficiency and consistency.

• 10" Circumferential Radius:

  • Specifically designed to conform to curved surfaces with a 10-inch circumferential radius, ideal for inspecting medium sized diameter pipes, vessels, and other cylindrical components.

• Sonatest Quality and Reliability:

  • Manufactured by Sonatest, a reputable leader in NDT equipment, guaranteeing high quality, durability, and consistent performance.  

• Enhanced Inspection Performance:

  • Provides optimal beam control, consistent coupling, and reliable ultrasonic signal transmission for accurate and repeatable inspections.

• Schedule "B" Classification:

  • Indicates the product is classified under the Schedule "B" statistical classification of domestic and foreign commodities exported from the United States. This is used for export documentation and tracking.
