Product Overview
TheSonic India PAUT A1 Series AID Wedges are designed for internal phased array inspection where the wedge must sit on the inside diameter of a curved component and the scan direction follows the axial length. This configuration is suitable for accessible internal surfaces of pipes, nozzles, shells, and cylindrical components.
Because inner-diameter surfaces are concave, the wedge geometry must be matched correctly to the ID surface. This helps improve seating, coupling stability, and beam consistency.
The wedge is manufactured from Rexolite and supported with high-quality damping material that helps absorb, control, and divert unwanted ultrasonic energy, improving inspection signal quality.
Working Principle / Technology Overview
In AID inspection, the wedge contacts the internal curved surface while the scanning direction is axial. This geometry helps maintain correct beam entry and reduce probe instability on ID surfaces.
Proper AID design is important where internal inspection access is available and reliable axial scan movement is required.
