SONO 1200+ provides coupling for thickness gaging and flaw inspection from 700ºF to well over 1200+ºF (371º to 649ºC). Extended dwell time at 700º to 1100ºF. In most cases, the signal strength increases with time to the point of the couplant’s thermal decomposition. Note: For best results, allow a few seconds of "melt time" before taking reading. Signal attenuation may occur if used at lower than recommended temperatures.
| SONO 1200+ |
- Highest temperature UT couplant commercially available
- Provides an extended high temperature window for longer inspections or to optimize thickness readings.
- Medium viscosity paste
- 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

* A couplant's upper temperature range for short duration thickness gaging is higher than when used for flaw detection. When testing on vertical or overhead surfaces, a thicker grade of couplant is likely to stay in place, but thinner grade generally performs better on flat surfaces. No Sonotech couplants contain perfluorocarbons; thus "polymer fume fever" is not an operator hazard. Hot couplants can cause burns; therefore, gloves and goggles are recommended when working with hot surfaces.
** Viscosity equivalents: 4,000k = thick paste, 550k = stiff gel, 150k = pourable gel, 20k = thick liquid
