Scott Cargill Shares His Experience With Auto-ignition During a UT Inspection

February 27, 2020

Scott Cargill, Past President of ASNT shared the below auto-ignition story with us.  It is well worth the read. Auto-Ignition? What’s that? Wait a minute, I’m almost positive it has something to do with the MSDS – Materials Safety Data Sheet (old school) or with the harmonized global system of today just SDS – Safety […]

Selecting the Correct High Temperature UT Couplant

October 9, 2018

When performing UT inspections at elevated temperatures, it is critical to select the correct couplant, both for performance and safety.  Thickness gauging and corrosion mapping are often conducted at temperatures between 500°and 1000°F (260° and 538°C) where auto-ignition may occur.  Ultrasonic transducers and instruments capable of operating at temperatures up to 950°F (510°C) are routinely […]

Solving issues with wedge and part coupling failure in phased array inspections

April 18, 2018

During phased array testing, element dropout can be a problem. Common causes include dead elements in the transducer or a failure of the wedge-to-transducer or wedge-to-inspection-part coupling. Let’s look at each of these coupling failures in detail before offering some solutions for each of these PA testing issues. Wedge-to-transducer coupling failure is often partial and […]

Looking for the right fluid for your AUT Inspections?

January 25, 2018

Echo’s automated ultrasonic testing fluids offer solutions for those who’ve encountered problems with other fluids. Often, fluids are too thick to pump, run off too fast, smoke too much, auto-ignite, freeze or vaporize so quickly that there’s no time to conduct the inspection. With AUT fluids in multiple viscosities (thicknesses) spanning a broad range of […]

Why VersaSonic™ outperforms Sono 600®

June 7, 2017

Vaporization of VersaSonic™ vs Sono 600®   The above plot is a technical representation of why VersaSonic (top line) outperforms Sono 600 (bottom line).  The plot depicts the weight loss of each couplant due to vaporization over time at 200°C (392°F).  Sono 600 loses significantly more mass and vaporizes faster than VersaSonic.  Vaporization produces gas […]
