Product Overview

TheSonic India PAUT A12 Series Flat Wedges are designed for phased array ultrasonic testing applications where the inspection surface is flat or near-flat. The wedge works as the acoustic interface between the A12 Probe Series PAUT probe and the test component, helping transfer ultrasonic sound energy into the material with controlled beam direction and stable contact.

The flat wedge configuration is suitable for inspection areas where outside-diameter or inside-diameter curvature matching is not required. It is commonly used for flat plate welds, structural fabrication welds, flat shell welds, pad welds, machined surfaces, test blocks, and general industrial weld inspection applications.

Manufactured from high-quality Rexolite material, the A12 Series Flat Wedge supports efficient ultrasonic transmission, dimensional stability, and dependable acoustic behavior. 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 PAUT inspection.

Detailed Product Description

The PAUT A12 Series Flat Wedge from TheSonic India is developed for reliable phased array ultrasonic weld inspection on flat and near-flat surfaces. In PAUT inspection, the wedge is an important component because it influences ultrasonic beam entry, probe stability, sound transmission, coupling consistency, and inspection repeatability.

This flat wedge version is selected when the inspection surface allows direct flat contact. The flat bottom profile helps the wedge sit steadily on plates, weld zones, structural members, and fabricated components. This helps reduce unwanted rocking movement, supports uniform couplant distribution, and improves scan consistency during manual or encoded PAUT inspection.

The Rexolite wedge body supports dependable ultrasonic energy transfer from the phased array probe into the inspected material. The high-standard damping support is designed to manage unwanted sound paths within the wedge and divert unnecessary ultrasonic energy away from the useful inspection path. This supports cleaner signals, reduced wedge noise, and dependable 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, flat shells, pads, blocks, and similar inspection areas.

Unlike AOD, COD, AID, and CID wedge configurations, 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

·       Industrial quality control and in-service inspection support

Suitable Inspection Areas

The PAUT A12 Series Flat Wedge is suitable for flat plates, structural weld joints, fabricated components, flat shells, pad welds, test 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.
