Chemical Compatibility

Chemical compatibility refers to the probe’s ability to come into contact with various liquid
substances and not be damaged. There are far too many different liquids in the industrial
environment for GE Inspection Technologies to test each one, so customers must
determine for themselves whether the probe is compatible with their specific chemicals.
However, GEInspection Technologies has tested the probe to several of the more
common substances and reports the results in the hope that it might be of assistance.
Whatever the liquid, duration of exposure should be minimized and the probe cleaned
after each use before storage.
These substances have no affect on the probe:
In general, if a liquid is relatively clear and safe for your hand, it is probably safe for the
probe. If it is not safe for your hand, it is probably not safe for the probe.
WARNING POSSIBLE EXPLOSION HAZARD. Do not use this system in
explosive environments.
