Product Overview

TheSonic India PAUT A15 Series Flat Wedges are specially designed for A15 Probe Series phased array ultrasonic testing applications. The A15 Series is suitable for compact weld inspection requirements, small-component inspection areas, restricted-access weld zones, and applications where a smaller PAUT wedge profile is preferred.

The flat wedge configuration is used where the inspection surface is flat or near-flat and does not require curvature matching. It is suitable for plate welds, small fabrication joints, structural welds, flat pad areas, compact weld zones, and workshop or site-based inspection applications.

Manufactured from high-quality Rexolite material, the A15 Series Flat Wedge supports efficient ultrasonic sound transmission, dimensional stability, and dependable acoustic performance during phased array ultrasonic testing. The wedge is also 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 A15 Series Flat Wedge from TheSonic India is developed for accurate phased array ultrasonic weld inspection where a compact wedge design is required for flat or near-flat surfaces. In PAUT inspection, the wedge works as the acoustic interface between the phased array probe and the test component, helping guide ultrasonic sound into the material with controlled beam direction and stable surface contact.

This A15 Series Flat Wedge is suitable for A15 Probe Series applications where the inspection surface does not require OD or ID curvature matching. The flat contact face helps maintain stable probe placement on plate surfaces, small weld zones, fabrication joints, and flat inspection areas. Its compact design makes it suitable for inspection locations where larger wedge profiles may not be convenient.

The Rexolite wedge body supports effective ultrasonic energy transfer from the phased array probe into the inspected material. To improve inspection signal quality, the wedge includes high-standard damping support designed to control and divert unwanted ultrasonic sound paths. This helps minimize unnecessary internal echo response and supports cleaner, more reliable PAUT inspection data.

The product is suitable for NDT service companies, fabrication industries, plant maintenance teams, EPC contractors, inspection laboratories, training centers, and quality control departments requiring compact and reliable PAUT accessories for advanced weld inspection.

Flat Wedge Application

The Flat Wedge configuration is recommended for inspection areas where the scanning surface is flat, near-flat, or suitable for direct wedge contact. It is especially useful when the inspector requires a compact PAUT wedge for stable scanning on small weld areas, flat fabrication surfaces, plate joints, or restricted-access inspection zones.

Unlike AOD, COD, AID, or CID curved wedge configurations, the flat wedge does not include curvature matching. It is selected when the inspection surface allows direct flat contact between the wedge and the component.

Typical Applications

·       PAUT weld inspection on flat surfaces

·       Small-component weld inspection

·       Plate-to-plate weld inspection

·       Compact fabrication joint inspection

·       Structural weld inspection

·       Flat shell and flat pad weld inspection

·       Restricted-access PAUT weld inspection

·       Workshop and site-based weld inspection

·       Manual phased array ultrasonic testing

·       Scanner-assisted PAUT weld scanning where applicable

·       Industrial quality control and maintenance inspection

Suitable Inspection Areas

The PAUT A15 Series Flat Wedge is suitable for flat plates, small fabrication welds, structural weld areas, flat pad zones, compact weld joints, and near-flat inspection surfaces. It is useful where a compact phased array wedge is preferred for improved accessibility and handling.

For curved components such as small-bore pipes, tubes, nozzles, vessels, or cylindrical surfaces, AOD, COD, AID, or CID wedge configurations may be selected based on the inspection direction and surface geometry.
