Olympus SA32-0L Angle Beam Phased Array Wedge 0° LW Straight-Beam, For A32 Probes, Standard Normal-Scan Application

Olympus SA32-0L A32 Footprint Wedge for 0° Longitudinal Wave Scanning

The Olympus SA32-0L is a standard PAUT wedge designed to deliver a 0° longitudinal wave for normal-beam inspection. Built for A32-footprint phased-array probes, it enables straight-beam coupling for weld, plate, and component assessments where direct ultrasonic entry is required.

A32 Footprint Alignment and Probe Interface

• Standard A32 footprint compatible with 32-element Olympus phased-array probes
• 0° longitudinal wave configuration for normal-incidence inspections
• Precision-machined PMMA body for stable sound velocity
• Mechanical interface matched to Olympus A32 probe mounting patterns

Performance and Platform Use

The SA32-0L functions as a dedicated wedge for A32-format probes, allowing these probes to operate in straight-beam UT and PAUT modes. When paired with A32 probes that use an OmniScan-style connector, the wedge supports workflows on instruments such as the OmniScan MX, MX2, and SX through the probe’s native connectivity.

Application Use Cases

• Normal-beam weld inspection and root evaluation
• Plate and lamination surveys requiring straight-beam entry
• General PAUT or UT inspection with A32-compatible probes
