Met-L-Chek FP-95A(M) Level 3: High-Sensitivity Fluorescent Penetrant

The Met-L-Chek FP-95A(M) Level 3 is a high-performance, post-emulsifiable fluorescent penetrant designed for reliable and repeatable Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) on critical components. Supplied in a manageable 1-Gallon (3.7L) container, this material is ideal for smaller production runs, tank top-offs, or as a bulk supply for multiple inspection stations.

The FP-95A(M) is a Type 1 (Fluorescent), Sensitivity Level 3 penetrant, offering high-level sensitivity for detecting fine surface discontinuities, such as fatigue cracks, grinding cracks, and porosity, typically required in high-stress, safety-critical industries. As a Post-Emulsifiable (PE) penetrant, it ensures superior control over the removal process using either a lipophilic emulsifier (Method B), a solvent cleaner (Method C), or a hydrophilic emulsifier (Method D). This versatility makes it a valuable, standardizing tool for any NDT facility.

🔑 Key Selling Features

• High Sensitivity (Level 3): Offers a high probability of detection for fine flaws, making it the choice for demanding applications in aerospace, automotive, and general critical component inspection.

• Ultimate Method Versatility (B, C, & D): This is one of the few high-sensitivity penetrants certified for all three post-emulsifiable removal methods. This allows NDT facilities to simplify inventory by standardizing on a single product for immersion, spray, and solvent wipe applications.

• Aerospace & Industry Approved: Fully qualified to the most rigorous global specifications, including:

  • AMS-2644 (Qualified Products List)

  • ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section V

  • ASTM E-1417

  • Specific approvals from prime contractors like Boeing, General Electric, and Pratt & Whitney.

• Alloy Safety Assured: Features extremely low levels of Sulfur and Halogens ($\text{<} 100 \text{ ppm}$), ensuring it is safe for use on all high-temperature, sensitive alloys, including Titanium, Nickel, and Stainless Steel, without the risk of corrosion.

• Convenient Volume: The 1-Gallon container is perfect for topping off penetrant tanks, using in smaller inspection lines, or for facilities where a full 5-gallon pail is excessive.
