UT-X Powder

Ultrasonic Couplant Powder

UT‑X® Powder is a concentrated, economical ultrasonic couplant powder developed for flaw detection and thickness gauging on ferrous substrates, especially where corrosion or salt cake is present. Mixed with water onsite, it retains viscosity in harsh conditions and offers short-term corrosion inhibition—ideal for transporting to field locations or stocking as emergency couplant.
