Product Overview

TheSonic India PAUT A10 Series Flat Wedges are designed for phased array ultrasonic testing applications where a flat contact surface is required for weld inspection. The wedge acts as the acoustic interface between the A10 Probe Series PAUT probe and the test component, helping transfer ultrasonic sound into the material with controlled beam direction and consistent surface contact.

The flat wedge configuration is suitable for applications where the inspection surface does not require outside-diameter or inside-diameter curvature matching. It is commonly used for plate welds, flat fabrication joints, structural welds, flat shell areas, pad welds, and general industrial weld examination.

Manufactured from high-quality Rexolite material, the A10 Series Flat Wedge supports efficient ultrasonic sound transmission, dimensional stability, and reliable acoustic performance. The wedge is supported with high-quality, high-standard damping material designed with a zero-tolerance approach toward unwanted ultrasonic sound acceptance. This damping support helps absorb, control, and divert unwanted ultrasonic energy, reducing unnecessary internal reflections, wedge noise, and signal disturbance during inspection.

Detailed Product Description

The PAUT A10 Series Flat Wedge from TheSonic India is developed for reliable phased array ultrasonic weld inspection on flat and near-flat surfaces. In PAUT inspection, wedge design is important because it influences sound transmission, probe stability, beam angle control, and inspection repeatability.

This flat wedge version is selected when the inspection surface allows direct flat contact. The flat bottom profile helps the wedge remain steady on plates, flat weld zones, structural members, and fabricated components. This helps reduce unwanted rocking movement, supports consistent couplant behavior, and improves scan repeatability during phased array inspection.

The Rexolite wedge body supports dependable ultrasonic energy transfer from the probe into the inspected component. The high-standard damping support is designed to manage unwanted sound paths inside the wedge and divert unnecessary ultrasonic energy. This helps improve signal clarity and supports cleaner PAUT data acquisition.

Flat Wedge Application

The Flat Wedge configuration is recommended for flat surface weld inspection where OD or ID curvature matching is not required. It is suitable for direct scanning on flat plates, fabricated weld joints, structural members, and flat inspection areas.

Unlike AOD, COD, AID, and CID wedge types, the flat wedge is not designed for curved-surface matching. It is selected when the test surface provides stable contact for a flat wedge base.

Typical Applications

·       PAUT weld inspection on flat surfaces

·       Plate-to-plate weld inspection

·       Structural fabrication weld inspection

·       Flat shell and pad weld inspection

·       General fabrication weld quality control

·       Heavy engineering component inspection

·       Flat pressure component weld inspection

·       Manual phased array ultrasonic testing

·       Scanner-assisted PAUT weld scanning where applicable

·       Workshop, site, maintenance, and shutdown inspection applications

Suitable Inspection Areas

The PAUT A10 Series Flat Wedge is suitable for flat plates, flat weld joints, structural welds, fabricated components, pad welds, blocks, and near-flat inspection surfaces.

For pipe, vessel, nozzle, tube, or cylindrical component inspection, AOD, COD, AID, or CID wedge configurations may be selected based on surface curvature and scanning direction.
