NM01US55MV

Echo Ultrasonics — UltraSoniX™ US55-MV Broad-Temperature Couplant

Overview

The Echo Ultrasonics UltraSoniX™ US55-MV is a medium-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 medium-viscosity formulation offers a balance between controlled flow and surface retention. It spreads easily across the inspection area while maintaining sufficient body for manual scanning, mechanized inspection, and suitable vertical-surface applications.

UltraSoniX™ provides excellent corrosion inhibition to help protect compatible metallic surfaces during ultrasonic inspection. Supplied in a 55 gal / 208 L industrial drum, SKU US55-MV is suitable for NDT departments, service companies, automated inspection systems, fabrication facilities, and high-volume ultrasonic testing programs.

Key Specifications

Performance Features

Medium-Viscosity Formulation
Provides a practical balance between easy spreading, controlled flow, and surface retention during ultrasonic inspection.

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

Excellent Corrosion Inhibition
Helps protect compatible ferrous and nonferrous metallic surfaces during temporary couplant contact.

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

Efficient Scanning Performance
The flowable consistency supports smooth probe and wedge movement during manual or mechanized scanning.

55 gal Industrial Supply
Provides a bulk quantity for high-volume inspection departments, production facilities, and automated UT systems.
