2.7 Basic Operations on Probes and Wedges
This section covers the basic operations performed on probes and wedges, which
include adjusting the carbide wear pins and replacing a phased array probe or wedge.
2.7.1 Adjusting the Carbide Wear Pins on Wedges
Wedges are designed to hold a transducer or a phased array probe in order to ensure
adequate ultrasonic diffusion through the surface to be inspected, and to direct the
couplant flow correctly. To limit wearing of the wedge, carbide wear pins can be
inserted at each corner of the contact surface of the wedge (Figure 2-17 on page 46).

To adjust the carbide wear pins on a wedge
Use a hex key to adjust the height of the carbide wear pins on each installed
wedge. Ensure that the top of each pin is flush to the surface of the wedge
(Figure 2-17 on page 46).
