Product Overview

TheSonic India PAUT A3 Series Flat Wedges are designed for phased array ultrasonic testing applications where the scanning surface is flat or near-flat. The wedge acts as the acoustic interface between the A3 Series phased array probe and the test component, helping transmit ultrasonic energy into the material with controlled beam direction and stable contact.

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

Manufactured from high-quality Rexolite material, the A3 Series Flat Wedge supports efficient ultrasonic transmission, dimensional stability, and dependable 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 internal reflections, wedge noise, and signal disturbance during inspection.

Working Principle / Technology Overview

In phased array ultrasonic testing, multiple probe elements are electronically controlled to generate focused, angled, or sectorial ultrasonic beams. The wedge guides these beams into the inspected component at the required refracted angle.

For flat surface inspection, the flat contact face helps maintain uniform couplant distribution and steady probe seating. This reduces probe rocking and improves signal consistency during manual or scanner-assisted scanning.

The Rexolite wedge body supports efficient acoustic transmission, while the damping support helps control unnecessary internal sound paths inside the wedge. This supports cleaner PAUT data and more stable inspection response.
