Echo Z+ High Acoustic Impedance Couplant

HIGH Z LV/HV

Note: This product has been discontinued and based on temperature range the recommended replacement is the Echo Z+:

Echo Z+ has an operating range of 0°F to 200°F (-18°C to 93°C) and is a high acoustic impedance ultrasonic couplant, that increases acoustic impedance and decrease surface noise, making it ideal for very rough, pitted, corroded surfaces or tight curved test objects and concrete. Echo Z+ contains a short term ferrous corrosion inhibitor. Echo Z+ contains glycerin and is intended to be removed from non-ferrous metal parts after inspection (not for use on aluminum or aluminum magnesium aircraft parts).

High Z is a high acoustic impedance couplant which optimizes acoustic transmission and reduces surface noise on curved, rough, pitted or heavily corroded surfaces including concrete. HIGH Z provides the highest acoustic impedance of all Sonotech couplants. High Z's acoustic impedance enables its application in the ultrasonic inspection of cement dams and bridges.

HIGH Z Features:

  • Provides the highest acoustic transmission, reducing surface noise and improving coupling performance when thickness gauging or testing rough or curved surfaces.
  • Close acoustic match to Lucite wedges used for angle beam inspection.
  • Available in high or low viscosity, with an operating temperature range of 0 to 200ºF.
  • Maintains a good price to performance ratio
  • Non-flammable and non-irritating - No silicones, surfactants or petroleum distillates.
  • Contains glycerine
  • Water Soluble - easy to remove with water.
  • Environmentally benign formula
  • High Z contains a corrosion inhibitor for ferrous metals with a relative effectiveness rating of 70.
