UT Couplant

SuperSonix Ambient UT Gel

SuperSoniX is an enhanced performance couplant with a broad operating range, slow evaporation rate and gel viscosity that remains in place.

• Gel viscosity remains in place for overhead and vertical surfaces
• Broad operating range for a water-based couplant
• Slow drying
• Salt-stable viscosity
• Water-soluble
• Environmental and operator friendly

Contains glycerin. Not for aluminum aircraft inspections.

UltraSonix

UltraSoniX is a high-performance couplant, available in medium viscosity, ideal for spreading.

• -12°C to 104°C temperature range for most flaw detection and thickness gauging applications.
• Water-soluble: easy to remove Environment and operator-friendly – no formaldehyde, nitrates, nitrites, or glycol ethers.
• Lower residue than most UT couplants.
• No glycerin as required for carbon fiber composites.

Removal: Wipe with wet or dry paper or cloth rag or water wash.

EchoMix® Single Powder

Single packet powdered UT couplants provide an economical solution for travel, remote access inspections and storage limitations.

EchoMix Single is a one-part (one packet) powder, easily mixed in ambient water in five minutes, providing a strong, continuous coupling film that adheres well to vertical and overhead surfaces. Single mix packet, one step mixing.

• Easiest mixing powder couplant
• One packet
• Less residue
• Blue mixing tracer
• Salt stable – will not thin with corrosion salts or in marine or highway environments
• Fast, easy removal with water
• Compact for shipping and storage
• Easy mixing, fast gel time in ambient water

Removal: Remove with a dry rag, water and brush or pressure washer.

Air Bubbles: All powder couplants will form small air bubbles after mixing if water is not de-aired. These small bubbles usually do not negatively affect the use of the couplant and will dissipate in 3-4 days. If an air bubble-free couplant is desired immediately, use hot water and allow to stand overnight; then proceed with adding the powder couplant.

The Blue Color is a visual marker to ensure uniform distribution of the corrosion inhibitor by encouraging thorough mixing.

VersaSonic High Temperature Couplant

VersaSonic® is Echo Ultrasonics' most versatile couplant, from high temperature on turbine rotors to extreme weather inspections.  VersaSonic is a low-toxicity, biodegradable couplant that does NOT contain peanut oil.

• Instantaneous ultrasonic response (does not contain plastic powders which delay ultrasonic conduction)
• Excellent high temperature transducer lubricant, extends transducer life
• Multiple viscosities covering flaw, corrosion mapping and thickness gauging at high and low temperatures and in mud, snow and rain
• Ambient and low temperature coupling where corrosion inhibition is critical
• Excellent corrosion inhibitor. Provides non-toxic, superior, long-term corrosion inhibition for steel and cast iron and is compatible with other metals and most plastics. VersaSonic may be left in place unless it will interfere with subsequent manufacturing operations such as painting or electroplating
• Low environmental impact. Contains no perfluorocarbons, silicones, peanut or tree nut oils.

Removal: wipe with paper or cloth rag. If complete removal is required, dish detergent and water or a chemical degreaser can be used.
