EchoMix — EM-5GA Powder Couplant
Two-Part Ultrasonic Powder Couplant, 5 gal / 20 L Mixing PacketSKU: EM-5GA
Overview
The EchoMix EM-5GA Powder Couplant is a two-part ultrasonic couplant supplied in a dry powder format for preparation at the point of use. When mixed according to the recommended procedure, the packet produces approximately 5 gal / 20 L of couplant for professional ultrasonic testing applications.
The prepared couplant helps transfer ultrasonic energy between the transducer and the inspected surface by reducing the air gap that would otherwise interfere with sound transmission. Its bulk mixing format is well suited for inspection teams that perform frequent thickness measurements, flaw detection, weld examination, and general industrial UT work.
Because the product is supplied as a compact powder packet rather than a full container of premixed liquid, it can simplify storage and transportation before preparation. SKU EM-5GA is suitable for field, fabrication, maintenance, manufacturing, and QA/QC environments requiring a practical bulk supply of ultrasonic couplant.

Mixing and Application
| Step | General Procedure |
|---|---|
| Preparation | Use a clean container suitable for the required finished volume |
| Mixing | Combine both components with the specified amount of clean water |
| Blending | Mix thoroughly until the powder is fully dispersed |
| Resting | Allow the mixture to stabilize if required by the product instructions |
| Application | Apply a consistent layer between the transducer and test surface |
| Storage | Store prepared couplant according to the applicable product guidance |
The manufacturer’s mixing instructions should be followed to obtain the intended viscosity, consistency, and acoustic performance.
