Product Overview
TheSonic India AWS Standard Snail Wedges – 60° are designed for conventional ultrasonic testing where a 60° angle beam configuration is required for weld inspection. The wedge provides a controlled acoustic path between the ultrasonic probe and the test component, supporting reliable beam entry and consistent signal response.
The 60° wedge is widely used for general weld inspection applications where balanced beam coverage, reliable penetration, and practical scanning performance are required. Its snail-type wedge profile supports stable manual scanning, smooth probe handling, and dependable couplant contact during inspection.
Manufactured from high-quality Rexolite material, the wedge supports efficient sound transmission and dimensional stability. The wedge design helps control unwanted wedge noise and supports clear signal response during industrial UT weld inspection.

Detailed Product Description
The Individual AWS Snail Wedge – 60° from TheSonic India is designed for conventional ultrasonic weld inspection where a 60° angle beam configuration is required. The 60° wedge is commonly selected for many weld inspection tasks because it provides practical inspection coverage for a wide range of weld geometries and material thicknesses.
The snail-style wedge body is suitable for manual scanning and helps the inspector maintain comfortable probe movement during weld examination. Stable wedge contact and consistent coupling are important for repeatable UT response, accurate indication evaluation, and reliable inspection performance.
The Rexolite acoustic body supports efficient ultrasonic energy transfer from the probe into the inspected material. The wedge design supports reduced internal noise response and reliable UT signal clarity during weld scanning.
60° Wedge Application
The 60° AWS Snail Wedge is selected when the inspection procedure requires a 60° angle beam configuration. Final wedge selection should be confirmed based on inspection code, weld geometry, material thickness, probe frequency, and approved UT procedure.
Typical Applications
· Conventional UT angle beam weld inspection
· AWS-style weld inspection applications
· General fabrication weld inspection
· Plate and structural weld examination
· Industrial weld quality control
· Maintenance and in-service inspection
· Manual ultrasonic scanning
· NDT service inspection projects
· Workshop and field inspection applications
