Product Overview
TheSonic India PAUT A1 Series COD Wedges are designed for phased array applications where inspection is performed on the outside diameter of a round component and the scan orientation follows the circumference. This wedge type is suitable for circumferential weld inspection on pipes, pressure vessels, nozzles, and cylindrical structures.
The COD contact face is shaped to follow the external curved surface and maintain better contact around the inspection area. This helps improve couplant behavior, probe control, and scan repeatability during circumferential movement.
The wedge is manufactured from high-quality Rexolite and supported with high-standard damping material to improve ultrasonic transmission and reduce internal sound disturbance.
Working Principle / Technology Overview
In COD inspection, the wedge sits on the OD surface while the scan path follows the circumference of the component. This orientation is different from AOD, where the movement is axial.
Proper COD geometry helps maintain stable beam entry and probe orientation during circumferential PAUT scanning on OD surfaces.
