Advantages
- Probe and wedge in the same housing
- The lowest-profile probe-and-wedge combination for contact angle beam inspection
- Coupling always good between probe and wedge interfaces, no need for couplant between the probe and wedge
- Very small assembly for easy access in restricted areas
- Inspections of 30° to 70° in steel, SW or LW
- Easy to handle
- Probes with an internal wedge can be specially ordered to fit a specific curvature radius.
Typical Applications
- Manual weld inspection of 6.35 mm to 19 mm (0.25 in. to 0.75 in.) thick surfaces (butt joints, corner joints, tee joints), using 40° to 70° simultaneously
- Manual inspection of stress-corrosion cracking
- AWS and DGS code compliant applications
Probe specifications and dimensions
These probes come standard with an OmniScan
® connector and a 2.5 m (8.2 ft) cable or can be specially fitted with other connectors and cable lengths.
