Product Overview
TheSonic India TOFD Flat Wedges are designed for ultrasonic weld inspection applications where TOFD probes are used on flat or near-flat scanning surfaces. The wedge acts as the acoustic interface between the TOFD probe and the test component, helping transmit ultrasonic energy into the material with controlled beam entry and stable surface contact.
The flat wedge configuration is suitable for inspection applications where outside-diameter or inside-diameter curvature matching is not required. It is commonly used for plate weld inspection, structural fabrication welds, flat shell welds, pad welds, pressure component inspection, and general industrial TOFD weld examination.
Manufactured from high-quality Rexolite material, the TOFD Flat Wedge supports efficient ultrasonic transmission, dimensional stability, and dependable acoustic behavior. The wedge is supported with high-quality, high-standard damping material designed to control, absorb, and divert unwanted ultrasonic sound energy, helping reduce unwanted reflections, wedge noise, and signal disturbance during inspection.

Detailed Product Description
The TOFD Flat Wedge from TheSonic India is developed for reliable Time-of-Flight Diffraction weld inspection where the scanning surface is flat or near-flat. In TOFD inspection, wedge stability and accurate probe positioning are important because the technique depends on precise sound path control and repeatable probe separation.
This flat wedge design helps maintain steady contact on plate surfaces, flat weld zones, structural members, and fabricated components. Stable wedge contact supports consistent coupling, smoother scanning movement, and reliable data acquisition during TOFD weld inspection.
The Rexolite wedge body supports efficient ultrasonic energy transfer from the probe into the test material. The high-standard damping support helps control unwanted ultrasonic sound paths within the wedge, reducing unnecessary noise response and supporting cleaner TOFD signals.
Flat Wedge Application
The TOFD Flat Wedge is recommended for flat surface weld inspection where curvature matching is not required. It is selected when the inspection surface allows direct contact between the flat wedge base and the component surface.
Typical Applications
· TOFD weld inspection on flat surfaces
· Plate-to-plate weld inspection
· Structural weld inspection
· Flat shell weld inspection
· Pressure component weld inspection
· Fabrication weld quality control
· Manual TOFD weld scanning
· Scanner-assisted TOFD inspection
· Industrial maintenance and in-service inspection
