Product Overview

TheSonic India PAUT A32 Series Flat Wedges are specially designed for A32 Probe Series phased array ultrasonic testing applications. These wedges are used as the acoustic interface between the PAUT probe and the inspection surface, helping to guide ultrasonic sound into the test component with controlled beam direction and stable surface contact.

The flat wedge configuration is suitable for weld inspection on flat and near-flat surfaces such as plates, structural welds, fabrication joints, flat shells, pad welds, and general industrial inspection areas. The wedge supports smooth probe movement, uniform couplant contact, and consistent ultrasonic transmission during manual or scanner-assisted PAUT inspection.

Manufactured from high-quality Rexolite material, the A32 Series Flat Wedge offers excellent ultrasonic transmission performance, dimensional stability, and reliable acoustic behavior for advanced weld inspection applications. The wedge is also supported with high-standard damping material designed to absorb, control, and divert unwanted ultrasonic sound energy, helping reduce internal reflections, noise interference, and unwanted signal response during inspection.

Detailed Product Description

The PAUT A32 Series Flat Wedge from TheSonic India is developed for accurate phased array ultrasonic testing on flat weld inspection surfaces. In PAUT inspection, the wedge plays an important role in transferring ultrasonic energy from the probe into the test component while maintaining correct beam entry, probe stability, and repeatable inspection performance.

This A32 Series Flat Wedge is suitable for A32 Probe Series applications where the inspection surface does not require curvature matching. The flat contact face helps maintain stable probe placement on plate surfaces and flat weld zones, supporting better coupling behavior and consistent inspection data.

The Rexolite wedge body supports efficient ultrasonic sound transmission and is suitable for demanding PAUT inspection environments. To improve signal quality, the wedge is supported with high-standard damping material designed with a zero-tolerance approach toward unwanted ultrasonic sound acceptance. This damping arrangement helps absorb and divert unnecessary ultrasonic energy, reducing unwanted echo response and supporting cleaner inspection signals.

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

Flat Wedge Application

The Flat Wedge version is designed for inspection areas where the scanning surface is flat or nearly flat. This configuration allows the probe to remain steady during scanning and helps reduce unnecessary rocking movement. It is especially useful for straight-line weld inspection, plate weld inspection, and flat fabrication joint examination.

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