A highly sensitive magnetic particle powder, 14A fluorescent mag particles are engineered to locate very fine discontinuities in critical parts and applications. It is a dry, free flowing, brown magnetic powder which fluoresces bright yellow-green under black light. 14A is intended for use in high sensitivity, wet method magnetic particle inspection and may be suspended in either a petroleum-based vehicle (oil) such as Carrier II or a water based vehicle. When water is used as a vehicle, conditioning agents such as WA-2B or WA-4 are required. A great choice for inspecting machined parts, welded parts, after secondary processing, critical in-service inspections and testing smooth surface finishes to find inclusions, seams, shrink cracks, tears, laps, flakes and cracks. 14A particles meet all major industry and NDT specification requirements, including Aerospace, ASTM and ISO 9934.
