Immersion Method - Water as a couplant<br />

When scanning over the part or making precise measurements, an immersion<br />

technique is often used. In immersion ultrasonic testing both the transducer<br />

and the part are immersed in the couplant, which is typically water. This<br />

method of coupling makes it easier to maintain consistent coupling while<br />

moving and manipulating the transducer and/or the part.
