The present invention is applicable to non-destructive testing of various materials, structures, etc.
That is, it relates to a couplant for ultrasonic flaw detection or thickness measurement. More specifically, the present invention relates to a couplant for ultrasonic flaw detection or thickness measurement, which is made of an aqueous liquid containing a carboxyvinyl polymer and has excellent thixotropic properties, good handling properties, and excellent ultrasonic permeability. In ultrasonic flaw detection and ultrasonic thickness measurement, which are types of non-destructive testing, ultrasonic pulses are sent from the surface of the sample to the inside, and reflected waves from interfaces, scratches, lattice defects, etc. are received. By converting this into an electrical signal and transmitting it to a cathode ray tube, it is possible to determine the thickness of the sample, the presence or absence, position, size, etc. of scratches and defects inside the sample. Conventionally, in order to eliminate the air gap between the transmitting and receiving surfaces of the ultrasonic oscillator and the sample being tested, and to reduce the amount of attenuation of the transmitted waves, measurements were performed using a couplant such as oil, glycerin, or water. was doing.
However, due to the low viscosity of oil, glycerin, and water, when used in flaw detection methods that produce gaps, such as automatic flaw detectors, it is difficult to obtain a sufficiently thick couplant layer, and There are drawbacks such as sagging when performing flaw detection. Recently, couplants mainly composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) have been developed, which have improved the disadvantages of oil, glycerin, and water.
A couplant consisting of an aqueous liquid containing . All of these couplants still tend to become sticky or sag, and at high temperatures they gel or solidify, resulting in a new drawback: they cannot be used for long periods of time. The present inventors have conducted extensive research to improve the above-mentioned drawbacks and to create a couplant with excellent ultrasonic permeability, and as a result, an aqueous liquid containing a carboxyvinyl polymer has the above-mentioned excellent properties. The present invention was completed based on the discovery that it can be used as a couplant for non-destructive testing. The couplant for non-destructive testing of the present invention can be obtained by mixing and stirring water and carboxyvinyl polymer. The amount of carboxyvinyl polymer blended varies depending on the desired viscosity, but is usually 100% water.
0.1 to 22 parts, preferably 0.2 to 10 parts, particularly preferably 0.3 to 5 parts. The couplant of the present invention has thixotropic properties, and when applied to vertical surfaces or ceiling surfaces, it usually
The yield value at °C is 98dyne/ cm2 or more, especially 118
~700 dyne/cm 2 and a yield value at 70° C. of 98 dyne/cm 2 or more, particularly preferably 107 to 665 dyne/cm 2 . As a carboxyvinyl polymer, the molecular weight is
1,000,000 to 3,000,000 is used, and may also be used in the form of its ammonium salt. Specific examples include Carbopol (trade name) 934, 941, 940, 960 manufactured by BFGoodrich Chemical;
Examples include 961. Although the couplant of the present invention is water-based,
Especially when good ultrasound transparency is required,
Furthermore, glycerin may be added. When blending glycerin, 20 to 910 parts of glycerin, preferably 65 to 910 parts, per 100 parts of water.
part, 0.1 to 22 parts, preferably 0.2 to 10 parts of carboxyvinyl polymer. Furthermore, if necessary, a rust preventive, a preservative, a surfactant, a neutralizing agent, etc. may be added as appropriate. The couplant of the present invention may be applied to the surface of a sample to be inspected using a brush, spatula, or the like. A major feature of the couplant of the present invention is that it has thixotropic properties. In other words, while conventional couplants have a relatively low viscosity and can be spread freely with a brush,
When applied to a ceiling surface, etc., it flows and sag occurs, making it impossible to obtain the desired film thickness.However, since the couplant of the present invention has thixotropic properties, it cannot be applied to any area. It does not sag even when applied to a surface, and can be easily applied with a brush, making it possible to obtain a couplant film whose thickness does not change over time. Another feature of the couplant of the present invention is that it does not gel or solidify even at high temperatures, and therefore does not cause any trouble in flaw detection work. During flaw detection work under the scorching sun, the objects to be flawed, such as steel pipes, quickly reach temperatures of over 70°C, and conventional couplants containing PVA or CMC as their main ingredients immediately gel or solidify, meaning they no longer function as intended. However, since the couplant of the present invention does not gel or solidify even at such high temperatures and does not sag, work at high temperatures can be carried out as easily as at room temperature. Furthermore, since it does not solidify even at low temperatures (-20°C), it can be used in an extremely wide temperature range. In addition, the couplant of the present invention has good wettability on the surface of the non-inspected object, is not repelled like water or glycerin even if there is an oil film, and has good sliding properties on the probe, making flaw detection easy. After flaw detection, it can be easily wiped off with a cloth or washed away with water, making post-processing extremely easy. In particular, glycerin-based products have excellent ultrasonic transparency. It has excellent properties. As described above, the couplant of the present invention can be advantageously used in manual, semi-automatic, and automatic ultrasonic flaw detection or thickness measurement, and can perform an extremely excellent function as a couplant in any location or work environment. This can be extremely effective in destructive testing. Next, the couplant of the present invention will be explained with reference to Examples and Test Examples. Examples 1 to 10 The couplant of the present invention having the composition shown in Table 1 was prepared, and the viscosity (20°C) of the couplant obtained,
The yield values at 20°C and 70°C were investigated. The results are shown in Table 1. Comparative Examples 1 to 5 Comparative couplants having the compositions shown in Table 1 were prepared, and the viscosity (20°C) of the couplants obtained,
Table 1 shows the results of investigating the yield values at 20°C and 70°C.

[Table] As shown in Table 1, the couplant of the present invention has high viscosity and high yield values at 20°C and 70°C, indicating that it has excellent thixotropic properties. Test Examples The following tests were conducted using the couplants prepared in Examples 1 to 10 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5, respectively. (Sagging test) After applying each couplant to a thickness of 1 mm on a part of a steel plate, the steel plate was stood vertically and the surface of the steel plate was
The time required for the material to sag and fall was measured. This test was conducted at two different temperatures: 25°C and 70°C. The results are shown in Table 2. Further, in the same manner as above, each couplant was applied to a steel plate at 20°C, and then the steel plate was turned upside down to examine the state of the couplant on the ceiling surface. The results are shown in Table 2. (Sensitivity test) Each couplant shown in Table 1 was applied to a thickness of 0.3 mm on a 13 mm thick steel plate (100 mm x 200 mm) having the surface roughness shown in Table 2, and an ultrasonic flaw detector was applied. (USIP-11 manufactured by Kraft Kramer, West Germany) to measure the sensitivity (4 MHz in the vertical direction). The evaluation is based on the sensitivity when the bottom echo height is 80% when using glycerin, which is said to have excellent ultrasound transparency (zero).
We investigated the sensitivity (-dB) required to achieve the same bottom echo height (80%). The results are shown in Table 2. (High-temperature treatment test) Each couplant shown in Table 1 was held at 70°C for 30 minutes, and the state of gelation (solidification) was examined. The results are shown in Table 2. (Slip property test) Each couplant shown in Table 1 was applied to a thickness of 0.3 mm on the surface of a steel plate with a surface roughness of 20 μm, and the slip property of the flaw probe was examined. The results are shown in Table 2.
