Introduction
Angle Beams I Basic Principles
History
Angle Beam Transducers and wedges are typically used to introduce a refracted shear wave into the Present State
test material. An angled sound path allows the sound beam to come in from the side, thereby Future Direction
improving detectability of flaws in and around welded areas.
