Industrial ultrasonic couplants for your NDT and UT requirements

An ultrasonic couplant is a liquid, gel or paste used in NDT since it offers enhanced flaw detection capabilities. NDT requires specialised and precision equipment and materials such as test blocks and industrial ultrasonic couplants.

An industrial ultrasonic couplant facilitates the transmission of sound energy between a transducer and a test component. This type of ultrasonic testing enables you to determine the thickness or internal structure of a test component. Since high frequency sound waves required in UT cannot reliably transmit through air, the use of couplants such as Sonotech liquids gels and powders are used to accomplish effective NDT.

High frequency sound waves are deflected by defects such as cracks and voids. The reflections happen in a predictable and consistent pattern that enables trained technicians to analyse and interpret resultant wave-graph displays on the monitor of the test equipment.

MX industrial is a leading supplier of Sonotech couplants and related UT equipment and supplies. Whether you need Sonotech general purpose, high temperature and speciality application couplants or other NDT equipment, you will find what you need at MX Industrial.

Ultra sonic testing can applied across a broad range of materials including metals, plastics, composites and ceramics. UT is also used in the medical field in the form of diagnostic imaging. Since ultra-sonic testing is non-destructive it means a test piece can be checked for defects without having to cut or sectioned.  A technician only requires access to one surface and there is no need for mechanical tools such as micrometres or callipers. Another key advantage of UT is that results are reliable and accurate. In addition UT does not pose health hazards such as those posed by radiography.

MX Industrial is a single source solution for all your need NDT and UT equipment and supply requirements, including industrial ultrasonic couplants.
