The Sonatest TOFD Wedge 70Deg M12 Plastic is a specialized, high-precision wedge designed for use in Time-of-Flight Diffraction (TOFD) ultrasonic testing. This wedge is engineered to introduce ultrasonic waves into the test material at a steep 70-degree angle, enabling the detection and sizing of flaws through diffraction patterns, particularly those oriented in challenging or specific ways.
This steep 70-degree angle is crucial for inspections where defects are suspected to be oriented at significant angles relative to the test surface. It allows for optimized TOFD inspections in situations where standard angles may not provide adequate coverage or sensitivity. The wedge's design ensures accurate and consistent ultrasonic wave propagation, contributing to the reliability of inspection results.
The "M12 Plastic" designation indicates the wedge's material and connector interface.
The plastic construction provides a balance of acoustic properties, durability, and lightweight handling, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments. The M12 interface likely refers to a specific connector type or dimension, ensuring a secure and stable connection between the wedge and the TOFD probes.
Manufactured by Sonatest, a renowned provider of ultrasonic testing equipment, the TOFD Wedge 70Deg M12 Plastic is built to stringent quality standards, ensuring consistent performance and reliable results. Its precision design and manufacturing contribute to the accuracy and repeatability of TOFD inspections.
