UT-X Powder

Ultrasonic Couplant Powder

UT-X® Powder is a cost-effective solution designed for flaw detection and thickness gauging applications, particularly where ferrous corrosion inhibition is essential. This versatile couplant powder maintains its viscosity on various surfaces, including salt-caked boiler tubes, corroded pipes, structural steel, steel billets, welds, and ship plates. Easily mixed with water at the inspection site, its compact and lightweight packets ensure effortless transportation to job sites or convenient storage as an emergency couplant for unexpected shortages.
