Met-L-Chek VP-302 is a specialized, high-temperature, visible red dye penetrant formulated for the detection of surface-breaking flaws on hot surfaces. Supplied in a convenient 1-gallon pail, VP-302 offers a practical solution for inspections where components cannot be cooled to ambient temperatures.  

Specifically designed for use on components with surface temperatures ranging from 125°F to 350°F (51.6°C to 176.6°C), VP-302 significantly reduces inspection process time by eliminating the need for complete cooling of parts before examination. This makes it ideal for in-field welding inspections, weld repair assessments, and the examination of refinery processing equipment operating at elevated temperatures.

VP-302 provides bright red indications against the material surface, allowing for easy identification of even fine surface discontinuities such as cracks, porosity, and leaks. As a visible penetrant, it is designed for use under normal white light conditions. For optimal results, use with a compatible high-temperature developer like Met-L-Chek D-702.  

This product is low in sulfur, chlorine, fluorine, and other halogens, making it safe for use on titanium and high-nickel alloys commonly found in critical components, including those used in nuclear applications.  

Key Selling Points:

• High-Temperature Application: Specifically formulated for use on surfaces up to 350°F (176.6°C), eliminating cool-down time.  

• Bright Visible Red Indications: Provides high-contrast, easily visible indications under normal lighting.  

• Convenient 1 Gallon Pail: Suitable for moderate volume users.

• Safe for Critical Alloys: Low in sulfur and halogens, safe for use on titanium and high-nickel alloys.  

Benefits:

• Increased Inspection Efficiency: Eliminates the time-consuming cool-down process for hot parts.  

• Improved Flaw Visibility: Bright red indications ensure easy identification of surface defects.

• Versatile Applications: Suitable for field welding, repair inspections, and hot operating equipment.  

• Safe for a Wide Range of Materials: Can be used on various alloys without risk of corrosion or degradation.

• Practical Size for Many Users: The 1-gallon pail offers a balance between volume and manageability.

Applications:

• Inspection of welds immediately after welding.

• Examination of hot components during repair processes.

• In-service inspection of refinery processing equipment.  

• Quality control on pre-heated parts prior to welding.

• Any application requiring visible penetrant inspection on surfaces with elevated temperatures.  

The Met-L-Chek VP-302 High Temperature Penetrant in a 1 Gallon Pail provides a reliable and efficient solution for performing visible penetrant inspections on hot surfaces, ensuring accurate flaw detection without the delay of cooling components.
