The SA2-0L Standard Wedge is a precisely engineered component specifically designed to facilitate accurate normal scan phased-array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) inspections using A2 type phased-array probes. This wedge is designed to transmit a 0-degree longitudinal wave beam into the test material, making it ideal for applications requiring direct, perpendicular ultrasonic wave propagation.

This "plain" wedge is characterized by its simple, unadorned design, lacking features such as irrigation channels, mounting holes, or carbide wear inserts. This straightforward design makes it a reliable and cost-effective solution for various PAUT applications where such features are not required.  

The 0-degree longitudinal wave beam is particularly useful for applications such as thickness measurement, laminate inspection, and general material characterization. By transmitting the ultrasonic waves perpendicularly into the test material, this wedge ensures accurate and consistent measurements.  

The SA2-0L wedge is specifically designed for compatibility with A2 type phased-array probes, ensuring a secure and stable interface between the probe and the test piece. This compatibility contributes to the accuracy and repeatability of PAUT inspections.

Constructed from high-quality materials, this wedge offers excellent acoustic properties and durability. Its design ensures minimal signal attenuation and optimal transmission of longitudinal waves, contributing to the accuracy and reliability of PAUT inspections.
