Product Overview
TheSonic India AWS Standard Snail Wedges – 45° are designed for conventional ultrasonic weld inspection where a 45° angle beam configuration is required. The wedge helps transfer ultrasonic energy from the probe into the test component while maintaining stable contact and controlled beam direction.
The 45° wedge is commonly selected for weld inspection applications where lower-angle sound entry is required based on weld geometry, material thickness, and inspection procedure. Its snail-type wedge body supports comfortable manual scanning and reliable probe positioning during weld examination.
Manufactured from high-quality Rexolite material, the wedge supports efficient ultrasonic transmission, dimensional stability, and dependable acoustic performance. The wedge design helps reduce unwanted internal reflections and supports consistent signal quality during angle beam UT inspection.

Detailed Product Description
The Individual AWS Snail Wedge – 45° from TheSonic India is developed for angle beam ultrasonic weld inspection where a 45° beam configuration is required. This wedge is useful for inspection procedures requiring lower-angle beam entry compared with 60° or 70° wedge configurations.
The snail wedge profile supports stable handling during manual weld scanning and helps maintain consistent probe positioning. Proper wedge contact and coupling are important for reliable UT signal response, accurate indication detection, and repeatable inspection performance.
The Rexolite wedge body supports effective ultrasonic energy transfer from the probe into the inspected material. The wedge is designed to help control unnecessary internal sound response and support clean ultrasonic inspection signals.
45° Wedge Application
The 45° AWS Snail Wedge is selected when the inspection procedure requires a 45° angle beam configuration. Final suitability should be confirmed based on material thickness, weld configuration, probe frequency, probe size, inspection code, and approved UT procedure.
Typical Applications
· Conventional angle beam UT weld inspection
· AWS-style structural weld inspection
· Lower-angle ultrasonic weld scanning
· Plate weld inspection
· Fabrication weld quality control
· Structural steel weld inspection
· Maintenance and in-service inspection
· Manual ultrasonic testing applications
· NDT service and quality control projects
