Wedge ultrasonic probe 3.5L64-NW1

Overview
Near-wall integrated wedge phased-array probes designed for composite channel and near-edge inspections in structural assemblies. Shortened dead zones at both ends enable effective C-scan acquisition for delamination, disbonding and porosity assessment in composite components.

Advantages

• Shortened near-wall dead zone: 1.5 mm between center of first/last element and housing edge
• Optimised for composite channel inspections and near-edge geometries
• Suitable for C-scan inspections to detect delamination, disbonding and porosity in composite structures
