The Met-L-Chek 2016-4 Penetrant Inspection Kit is a portable, ready-to-use system for conducting non-destructive testing (NDT) to detect surface-breaking discontinuities in non-porous materials. This specific kit utilizes the Type 2, Method C, Form D penetrant inspection process, which is a common and versatile method for identifying flaws such as cracks, pores, and laps.
Key Features & Benefits:
Complete 3-Component System: The kit contains all three essential materials required for a visible dye penetrant inspection:
Met-L-Chek VP-31A (Penetrant): A visible (red dye), solvent-removable penetrant that seeps into surface-breaking flaws.
Met-L-Chek E-59A (Remover): A solvent-based cleaner used to remove excess surface penetrant.
Met-L-Chek D-70 (Developer): A non-aqueous developer that draws the penetrant from the flaws, creating highly visible, red indications against a white background.
Visible Dye: The red penetrant is easily seen under normal white light, eliminating the need for a UV (blacklight) lamp and making it highly practical for field and workshop applications.
Solvent-Removable: This method simplifies the removal process, as the penetrant can be effectively cleaned from the surface with the E-59A solvent and a lint-free cloth, without requiring water.
High Performance: The materials are formulated for high sensitivity and produce sharp, clear indications, ensuring reliable detection of even very fine discontinuities.
Portable and Durable: All components are packaged in a sturdy metal case, making the kit ideal for transportation to job sites and for use in demanding field conditions.
Aerosol Cans: The materials are supplied in convenient aerosol cans, which provide a controlled spray application, minimize waste, and ensure uniform coverage.
ASTM Compliance: Met-L-Chek products are formulated to meet stringent industry standards, including ASTM E1417, which governs liquid penetrant inspection.
