Product Overview

TheSonic India PAUT A1 Series AOD Wedges are developed for phased array ultrasonic testing where the probe is placed on the outside diameter of a curved component and scanning is carried out along the axial direction. This configuration is suitable for pipe welds, vessel shells, nozzle areas, headers, and other external cylindrical inspection surfaces.

The wedge profile is matched to the OD surface, helping maintain stable contact and consistent couplant distribution while moving along the axial direction. This supports repeatable data acquisition and improved inspection reliability.

Manufactured from high-quality Rexolite, the AOD wedge provides stable ultrasonic sound transmission and good wear performance. High-standard damping material is incorporated to absorb, control, and divert unwanted ultrasonic sound energy, helping reduce wedge noise and internal reflections.

Working Principle / Technology Overview

In AOD inspection, the wedge sits on the component outer diameter while the scan direction follows the length of the component. This geometry helps maintain correct probe seating and beam orientation during axial movement.

The curvature matching is important for reliable coupling and consistent acoustic performance on OD curved surfaces.
