NM01US55HV

Echo Ultrasonics — UltraSoniX™ US-55-HV Broad-Temperature Couplant

Overview

The Echo Ultrasonics UltraSoniX™ US-55-HV is a high-viscosity ultrasonic couplant designed for professional flaw detection and thickness-measurement applications across a broad temperature range. It creates a consistent acoustic interface between the ultrasonic transducer and inspection surface, helping ultrasonic energy enter the test material efficiently.

The high-viscosity formulation provides greater resistance to running and dripping than the medium-viscosity version. This makes it particularly suitable for vertical, overhead, rough, curved, and irregular inspection surfaces where the couplant must remain in position during scanning.

UltraSoniX™ also provides excellent corrosion inhibition to help protect compatible metallic surfaces during ultrasonic inspection. Supplied in a 55 gal / 208 L industrial drum, SKU US-55-HV is designed for NDT departments, service companies, automated systems, fabrication facilities, and high-volume inspection programs.

What's Included

Key Specifications

Performance Features

High-Viscosity Formulation
Provides increased resistance to flowing, dripping, and displacement during inspection of vertical, overhead, curved, or irregular surfaces.

Broad-Temperature Performance
Designed to support ultrasonic inspection across a wider range of temperatures than conventional ambient-temperature couplants.

Excellent Corrosion Inhibition
Helps protect compatible metallic surfaces against corrosion during temporary couplant contact and inspection work.

Reliable Acoustic Transmission
Reduces air between the transducer and test surface to support effective ultrasonic energy transfer.

Extended Surface Retention
The thicker consistency helps maintain a stable couplant layer during manual scanning and localized measurements.

55 gal Industrial Supply
Provides a bulk quantity for high-volume inspection departments, automated systems, and facilities with frequent ultrasonic testing requirements.
