Olympus SA12-N55S-IHC Phased Array Angle Beam Wedge 55° Shear Wave, A12 Probe , IHC Option

Olympus SA12-N55S-IHC Wedge for 55° Shear Wave A12 Phased Array Probes

The Olympus SA12-N55S-IHC is a 55° shear wave wedge engineered for A12-series phased array probes. Its angle-beam design supports accurate detection and sizing of weld discontinuities requiring a refracted shear wave. This wedge is fully compatible with Olympus phased array instruments that operate A12 probes through the standard OmniScan-style PA connector, including OmniScan X3, OmniScan MX2, OmniScan SX, and OmniScan MX units.

IHC Hardware for Controlled Coupling and durability

• Irrigation ports for stable and consistent couplant delivery
• Scanner-mounting holes for integration with Olympus scanning systems
• Carbide wear pins for enhanced surface protection and repeatable performance

Dedicated A12 Probe Alignment for Shear-Wave Beam Stability

The SA12-N55S-IHC uses a precise A12 probe seating profile and compact wedge geometry to maintain consistent coupling. Its 55° refracted shear wave path supports angle-beam weld inspections and flaw detection workflows across standard industrial materials for both manual and encoded PAUT scanning setups.
