  • Echogel

    Echogel

    Economical Ultrasonic Couplant

    Echogel® 20 is an economical, basic-use couplant in medium-thick gel viscosity for ultrasonic inspections, like flaw detection/sizing and thickness gauging, where salt cake or metal corrosion salts are present. It provides good corrosion inhibition and resists viscosity breakdown on salt-caked boilers and other corroded materials.

    Benefits

    • Enhanced surface wetting to quickly cover oily or dirty surfaces
    • Maintains viscosity on corrosion or salt cake
    • Good corrosion inhibition
    • Silicone free
    • Hydrogen embrittlement testing
  • Sonotrace

    Sonotrace

    General-Purpose Ultrasonic Couplant

    Sonotrace® 30 is a general-purpose ultrasonic couplant in medium-thick gel viscosity for flaw detection and thickness gauging applications. This glycerin-free couplant is a great choice for applications requiring minimum halogens, sulfur and low melting point metals, and offers good performance at a lower price point.

    Benefits

    • Contains humectants to slow drying for longer inspection time
    • Very good corrosion inhibition
    • Nuclear grade (low sulfur and halogens)
    • Good surface wetting to quickly cover oily or dirty surfaces
    • Water washable for easily removal
    • Silicone free
    • Glycerin free
