SSG, PSS & SW / SNW Wedge

Overview

Single Angle Shear Wave Transducer with Removable Wedge.

Various size transducers with detachable wedges either standard or snail shape, built to AWS structural weld code.

These probes are available in 2.25 MHz and 5.0 MHz

Features

  • Rectangular, lead metaniobate crystal
  • Low damped for narrow bandwidth (SSG)
  • Composite PZT crystal for wide bandwidth (PSS)
  • Attached by screws to SN or SNW wedges
  • AWS structural weld code style

Frequent Applications

  • Critical Welds
  • General Welds
