NM01VS1HV

Verasonic High Viscosity couplant is a gel-like substance formulated to provide excellent acoustic impedance matching between an ultrasonic transducer and the surface being inspected. Its high viscosity ensures that it remains in place on vertical or overhead surfaces and helps to fill larger surface irregularities, maintaining consistent coupling and signal transmission, which is crucial for reliable ultrasonic testing in various orientations and on diverse materials.

The couplant is packaged in a convenient 1 Gallon (3.8 liter) collapsible cubitainer bottle. This type of packaging offers several advantages:  

• Collapsible Design: Reduces storage space as the couplant is used.

• Durable Material: Protects the couplant from contamination and damage during transport and handling.

• Integrated Tap: Allows for easy and controlled dispensing of the high viscosity couplant, minimizing waste and mess during application in industrial settings.  

The "spreadable" characteristic indicates that while viscous, the couplant can be readily applied to the test surface, ensuring good wetting and contact with the transducer face. This is important for achieving optimal ultrasonic signal transmission, which is essential for accurate flaw detection, thickness measurement, and material characterization in non-destructive testing (NDT) applications.

Key Features:

• High Viscosity: Ideal for vertical and overhead surfaces, as well as rough or irregular surfaces.  

• Excellent Acoustic Coupling: Ensures efficient transmission of ultrasonic energy for reliable test results.

• Spreadable: Easy to apply and achieve good wetting of the test surface.

• 1 Gallon (3.8 Liter) Size: Suitable for moderate to large volume usage in NDT operations.

• Collapsible Cubitainer Bottle: Space-saving and durable packaging.

• Integrated Tap: Provides controlled and convenient dispensing.  

• Compatible with a Wide Range of Materials: Can be used on metals, plastics, composites, and more.

• Non-Toxic and Environmentally Friendly Options Available: Verasonic likely offers formulations that meet safety and environmental regulations. (Note: Specific safety data sheets should be consulted for detailed information).

Applications:

• Ultrasonic testing of vertical welds on storage tanks and pressure vessels.

• Inspection of overhead structures and piping in industrial plants.

• Corrosion mapping on irregularly shaped components where a less viscous couplant might run off.

• Thickness gauging on rough or pitted surfaces.

• General ultrasonic inspections where good coupling is critical, especially in varying temperatures and humidity.
