UT-X Powder is couplant concentrate useful for flaw detection and thickness gaging
applications where ferrous corrosion inhibition is not a concern. UT-X Powder retains
viscosity on salt caked boiler tubes, corroded pipe, structural steel, steel billets, plate
and welds.
UT-X Powder
UT-X Powder is a cost effective concentrate that is mixed with water at the inspection site.
The compact and lightweight packets are easy to transport to distant sites or store for
unanticipated shortages as emergency couplant. UT-X Powder incorporates a weak ferrous
corrosion inhibitor, a preservative, a viscosity building polymer and ease of mixing in a
pre-measured packet. To aid in eliminating air from the hand mixing process, UT-X is packaged
in two packets which allows air to escape prior to adding the second packet and thickening
into a gel.
Temperature Operating Range
32๐ to 120๐F (0๐ to 49๐C) in standard tap water
Can be winterized to -20๐F (-29๐C)
Benefits
Minimal air bubbles: two packet system permits de-airing after polymer addition
Provides fast, lump-free mixing
Environmentally benign
Economical: concentrated to reduce shipping costs and storage space requirements
No dyes, fragrance, glycerine-will not stain clothing
Low skin irritation potential
Shelf Life
Three (3) years in an unopened packet stored at constant room temperature and out of sunlight.
A prepared container of UT-X Powder, properly sealed and stored, has an approximate shelf life
of one month.
