Met-L-Chek E-59 is a high-quality solvent cleaner specifically formulated for the effective removal of excess liquid penetrant from test piece surfaces during the non-destructive testing (NDT) process of Liquid Penetrant Testing (LPT), also known as Dye Penetrant Inspection (DPI). Supplied in a 1-gallon (3.7-liter) container, E-59 is an essential component in achieving accurate and reliable flaw indications.

Designed for use after the penetrant dwell time, E-59 is carefully formulated to remove residual penetrant from the surface of the part without extracting the penetrant that has seeped into surface-breaking discontinuities. This controlled removal action is crucial for ensuring clear, high-contrast indications of cracks, porosity, laps, and other surface flaws upon application of the developer.

Met-L-Chek, a trusted manufacturer of NDT consumables, has developed E-59 to be compatible with their range of liquid penetrants, contributing to the overall effectiveness and sensitivity of the Met-L-Chek LPT system. Using E-59 as the penetrant remover helps to minimize background interference and maximize the visibility of flaw indications.

Important Note: According to Met-L-Chek's product information, E-59 is specifically intended for use as a post-penetrant remover and is not recommended as a pre-cleaning solvent for removing contaminants prior to penetrant application. Utilizing a dedicated pre-cleaner is advised for optimal surface preparation.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Effective Penetrant Removal: Specifically formulated to efficiently remove excess liquid penetrant from test surfaces.

• Controlled Action: Designed to remove surface penetrant without extracting penetrant from within flaws, ensuring clear indications.

• Optimizes Flaw Visibility: Minimizes background interference for enhanced contrast and detection of discontinuities.

• Compatible with Met-L-Chek Penetrants: Ensures optimal performance within the Met-L-Chek LPT system.

• Convenient 1-Gallon Packaging: Suitable for regular use in industrial and laboratory NDT environments.

• Essential Step in LPT: A critical component in the standard liquid penetrant testing procedure.

Applications:

• Post-Penetrant Removal in Liquid Penetrant Testing (LPT) / Dye Penetrant Inspection (DPI): The primary application, used after penetrant dwell time and before developer application.
