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.
