Magnaflux Spot Check Penetrants

Magnaflux Spot Check Penetrants

Visible Red Dye Liquid Penetrant Materials

Overview

Spot Check Red Dye Liquid Penetrant materials are a complete line of cleaner/removers and developers, as well as Water Wash or Post Emulsifiable penetrants, that are perfect for "spot checking" to locate surface flaws. Vivid red color permits daylight inspection and the penetrants meet major military and industry specifications. They are available in aerosol or liquid form, and in the following sizes: 16 oz. Aerosols, 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon and 55 Gallon.

SKL-SP2 - Post Emulsifiable / Solvent Removeable, Methods B/C/D

SKL-SP2 is a solvent removable penetrant for portability, especially for welding operations, and is post emulsifiable for greater resolution of flaw indications. SKL-SP2 dependably locates surface flaws and discontinuities with a simple three-step process that is ideal for basic industrial NDT. It produces a visible red color contrast and features outstanding penetrating characteristics. SKL-SP2 is highly reliable at locating surface open flaws and discontinuities and can be used on non-porous ceramics and similar materials. ​Developed for preventative maintenance, control checks and weld inspection, it is used on welds, forgings, pressure vessels, castings, general metal work, leak testing, and in power plants and construction applications. SKL-SP2 is listed on the QPL SAE AMS 2644 Qualified Product List.

Benefits

Fastest Inspection Processing

  • Reliable, simple 3-step process is a convenient and easy-to-use solution for preventative maintenance and control checks
  • Quickly and completely covers the entire test surface due to high surface wetting
  • Remove excess penetrant without water to eliminate the need to dry parts before applying developer​

Dependable and Convenient to Use

  • Easy to carry and use in the field with the convenient aerosol cans which are carefully designed for consistent, even coverage and maximum test area coverage
  • Use in all conditions without the need for darkness or UV lights

Maximum Indication Detection

  • Produces strong, vibrant indications thanks to the bright, vibrant red color, especially when used with SKD-S2 solvent-based developer

Wide Application Versatility

  • Inspect a wide range of components without fear of corrosion or specification non-conformance
  • Use with various applicators, choose the sprayer that works best for your application
  • Meets AMS 2644 and is NDT-approved for professional industrial applications

Features

  • Solvent removeable
  • ISO 3452 sensitivity level #2[EG1]
  • Can be used for Method B, Method C and Method D
  • Simple, easy-to-use process
  • Vivid, high-contrast red color
  • Superior flaw resolution
  • Good surface wetting
  • Optimized capillary action

  • NDT-spec compliant

SKL-WP2 - Water Washable, Methods A/C

Developed for large surface areas and rough surfaces where excess penetrant is difficult to remove with a solvent removable cleaner or emulsifier, SKL-WP2 is a water-removeable dye penetrant for Type 2 penetrant testing in visible white light. This bright red penetrant is designed to wash off parts with ease, leaving less background for clearer indications – even on rough surfaces. The quick rinsing reduces water usage in the inspection process for a reliable NDT process with less cost per part. This color-contrast penetrant meets all NDT specifics for dye penetrant testing and can be used on a wide variety of metals, including non-ferrous and ferrous. It is normally used on welds, forgings, pressure vessels, castings and general metal work, and it lends itself to a production environment where many parts are inspected daily. SKL-WP2 is listed on the QPL SAE AMS 2644 Qualified Product List.

SKL-4C - Water Based Visible/Fluorescent, Methods A/C

Specially designed for chemically sensitive plastic parts and for leak detection, SKL-4C is a red dye visible penetrant that is water based and water washable. As with most plastic parts, it is recommended that a trial application be used to confirm compatibility. Indications appear dark purple-red in visible light and fluorescent orange in ultraviolet light. This allows dual range flexibility in the inspection process. SKL-4C can be diluted with water, although it is recommended that a dilution ratio of 1:1 is used for general purposes.

Benefits

  • Water based
  • Can be used for leak detection
  • Can be used in visible and UV light inspections
