Contouring is the process of machining the base of the probe or wedge, in order to match the radius to the component being inspected, such as pipes, tubes, or pressure vessels.

Phoenix ISL offer a contouring service for many of our transducer and wedge designs, to suit any surface profile. Simply state the required diameter and axis direction when ordering – Our guide below illustrates the contouring conventions available.
