Met-L-Chek — FP-97A(M) Fluorescent PE Penetrant (Level 4, 1 gal / 3.7 L)
Ultra-High Sensitivity Fluorescent Penetrant for Methods B, C & D LPI Workflows SKU: 29130-0001Overview
Met-L-Chek FP-97A(M) is a fluorescent post-emulsifiable penetrant designed for ultra-high sensitivity liquid penetrant inspection applications. Classified as a Level 4 fluorescent penetrant, this product is intended for critical inspection work where very fine surface-breaking discontinuities must be detected with high reliability.
Designed for Methods B, C, and D workflows, FP-97A(M) supports lipophilic post-emulsifiable, solvent-removable, and hydrophilic post-emulsifiable penetrant inspection processes. Its fluorescent formulation produces bright indications under UV-A light, helping inspectors detect cracks, porosity, seams, laps, fatigue defects, and other open-to-surface flaws.
Supplied in a 1 gal / 3.7 L container, this product is ideal for aerospace, power generation, manufacturing, maintenance, and industrial NDT programs requiring dependable ultra-high sensitivity penetrant performance.
