Temperature Operating Range

Thickness Gaging: 700°to 1100℉(371°to593℃)

Benefits

·Provides an extended high temperature open time window for longer inspections or to optimize thickness readings

·Medium viscosity paste

·Non-toxic, non-irritating formula provides inspector safety

Safety

·Non-toxic, non-irritating

·Smokes less at elevated temperatures than most high temperature coupling materials

·Contains NO perfluorocarbons or fluorinated material, which can cause adverse health effects at high temperatures

Removal

·Immediately wipe the couplant off the face of the transducer with a cloth material that does not present a fire hazard.

Extreme Temperature Guidelines

·For best results, allow a few seconds of “melt-time” before taking temperature reading. Signal attenuation may occur if used at lower than recommended temperature.

·Sonotech couplants do not contain perfluorocarbons; thus "polymer fume fever" is not an operator hazard.

Flash Point and Auto Ignition

Sonotech provides the flash point and auto-ignition temperature for each high temperature product.

·The Flash Point of a product is the lowest temperature at which vapors arising from the product will ignite momentarily when exposed to a flame.

·Auto Ignition is the temperature at which a substance ignites without other sources of energy.

·The system for flash point determination for high temperature products (>680oF/360oC) utilizes the Cleveland Open Cup test in which vapors are allowed to escape and therefore results in a higher temperature than a closed cup test.
