5.2: Angle Beams I<br />

Angle Beam Transducers and wedges are typically used to introduce a<br />

refracted shear wave into the test material. An angled sound path allows the<br />

sound beam to come in from the side, thereby improving detectability of flaws<br />

in and around welded areas.<br />

Ɵ = Angle of reflection, T=Material thickness, S= Sound path,<br />

Surface distance = SinƟ x S, Depth= CosƟ x S
