The VersaSonic® Multipurpose Ultrasonic Couplant from Echo Ultrasonics is a high-performance, environmentally conscious solution designed for a broad spectrum of ultrasonic testing applications. This particular product is supplied in a convenient carton containing ten (10) individual 2 oz (approximately 59 ml) metal tubes. What sets VersaSonic® apart is its exceptional versatility, enabling reliable ultrasonic transmission across a wide temperature range, from a low of -10°F (-23°C) up to an impressive high of 700°F (371°C). This makes it suitable for inspections in diverse industrial environments and on materials with varying surface temperatures.
Formulated as a plant-based, low-toxicity, and biodegradable couplant, VersaSonic® prioritizes both performance and environmental responsibility. It is a true multipurpose product, effective for both critical flaw inspection and accurate thickness gauging. Typically available in two viscosities – Medium (spreadable, brushable) and High (non-drip for vertical and overhead surfaces) – the specific viscosity of the couplant within this carton of 2 oz tubes would usually be indicated on the product packaging or at the point of purchase.
Unlike some couplants that contain plastic powders, VersaSonic® is engineered to provide an instantaneous ultrasonic response, ensuring immediate and efficient sound transmission into the test material. Furthermore, it boasts excellent, non-toxic, and long-term corrosion inhibiting properties, providing superior protection for steel and cast iron. It is also compatible with other common metals and most plastics, enhancing its versatility across different material types.
Even at elevated temperatures, VersaSonic® is formulated to produce minimal smoke and odors, contributing to a more comfortable and safer working environment for the inspector. It also does not leave behind any problematic plastic powder char after high-temperature inspections, simplifying post-inspection cleanup.
Echo Ultrasonics has prioritized environmental and user safety in the development of VersaSonic®, ensuring it contains no perfluorocarbons, silicones, peanut, or tree nut oils. This makes it a preferable choice for organizations with stringent environmental and safety protocols.
VersaSonic® often meets or exceeds the requirements of key industry standards, including the ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code (T-533), ASTM F519, FAA AC #25-29 (Glycerin-free), and NAVSHIPS 250-1500, with typical halogen and sulfur content below 50 ppm (Nuclear Grade).
The packaging of ten individual 2 oz metal tubes offers several advantages:
Portability and Convenience: The small, easily handled tubes are ideal for inspectors on the go or for use in confined spaces.
Controlled Application: The tube format allows for precise and controlled dispensing of the couplant, minimizing waste.
Multiple Users or Locations: A carton provides a sufficient number of tubes for multiple inspectors or for stocking supplies at different inspection locations.
