Angle beam probes are used with a wedge to transmit a refracted shear or longitudinal wave into a test piece. Designed for a wide range of applications, they can be used to vary the refracted beam angle or the skew of the beam, depending on the probe orientation.
Advantages
- A wide selection of wedges is available to suit any angle beam application.
- Probes are designed to have a low-profile probe/wedge combination for easier access in restricted areas.
- Wave layers with acoustic adaptation to Rexolite®
- Captive anchoring screws are provided with the probe.
Typical Applications
A1 and A2 probes
- Manual or automated inspection of 6.35 mm to 38 mm (0.25 in. to 1.5 in.) thick welds
- Detection of flaws and sizing
- Inspections of castings, forgings, pipes, tubes, and machined and structural components for cracks and welding defects
- 10L64-A2 probe is typically used for stress-corrosion cracking application
