Product Overview

TheSonic India PAUT A3 Series AID Wedges are designed for internal phased array inspection where the wedge must sit on the inside diameter of a curved component and the scan direction follows the axial length. This configuration is suitable for accessible internal surfaces of pipes, nozzles, shells, vessels, and cylindrical components.

Because inner-diameter surfaces are concave, the wedge geometry must be matched correctly to the ID surface. This helps improve seating, coupling stability, probe alignment, and beam consistency during axial internal scanning.

The wedge is manufactured from high-quality Rexolite and supported with high-quality damping material that helps absorb, control, and divert unwanted ultrasonic sound energy, improving inspection signal clarity and reducing wedge noise.

Working Principle / Technology Overview

In AID inspection, the wedge contacts the internal curved surface while the scanning direction follows the axial length of the component. This geometry helps maintain correct beam entry and reduces probe instability on ID surfaces.

Proper AID design is important where internal inspection access is available and reliable axial scan movement is required. Correct curvature matching helps maintain a more stable couplant layer and supports repeatable ultrasonic data.
