Product Overview
TheSonic India AWS Standard Snail Wedges – 70° are designed for conventional ultrasonic weld inspection where a 70° angle beam configuration is required. The wedge works as the acoustic interface between the ultrasonic probe and the inspected component, helping guide the ultrasonic beam into the material at the required inspection angle.
The 70° snail wedge is commonly selected for weld inspection applications where higher-angle beam coverage is required for suitable weld geometry, material thickness, and inspection procedure. Its snail-type wedge body provides practical handling, stable surface contact, and reliable probe positioning during manual ultrasonic weld scanning.
Manufactured from high-quality Rexolite material, the wedge supports efficient ultrasonic sound transmission, dimensional stability, and dependable acoustic performance. The wedge design helps reduce unwanted wedge noise and supports cleaner signal response during angle beam UT inspection.

Detailed Product Description
The Individual AWS Snail Wedge – 70° from TheSonic India is developed for angle beam ultrasonic weld inspection where a 70° beam configuration is required. In conventional UT weld inspection, wedge angle selection is important because it affects beam entry, weld coverage, defect response, and inspection sensitivity.
This 70° wedge is suitable for weld inspection activities where higher-angle sound entry is required to inspect weld volume, fusion zones, sidewall areas, or other relevant weld regions as per inspection procedure. The snail-style body supports easy manual handling and stable wedge placement during scanning.
The Rexolite wedge body supports reliable ultrasonic transmission from the probe into the inspected component. The wedge is designed to support consistent sound transfer, stable coupling, and reduced unwanted wedge echo response during inspection.
70° Wedge Application
The 70° AWS Snail Wedge is selected when the inspection procedure requires a 70° angle beam configuration. Final suitability should be confirmed based on material type, weld thickness, probe frequency, probe size, inspection code, and approved UT procedure.
Typical Applications
· Conventional angle beam UT weld inspection
· AWS-style structural weld inspection
· Fabrication weld quality control
· Plate weld inspection
· Structural steel weld inspection
· Pressure component weld inspection where applicable
· Manual ultrasonic weld scanning
· Site inspection and maintenance inspection
· NDT service and quality control applications
