Met-L-Chek MPI-80 Black Magnetic Particle Inspection Bath - 5 Gallons (18.9 L)

Experience highly sensitive and reliable flaw detection with the Met-L-Chek MPI-80 Black Magnetic Particle Inspection Bath. This premium, ready-to-use oil-based solution is meticulously formulated for visible wet method magnetic particle inspection, providing high contrast and excellent particle mobility for detecting surface and near-surface discontinuities in ferrous materials under normal white light conditions. Supplied in a convenient 5-gallon (18.9 L) container, it's ideal for maintaining your MPI process.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Ready-to-Use Premixed Bath: Eliminates the need for mixing dry powders or concentrates, saving preparation time and ensuring consistent particle concentration for optimal results.

• High Sensitivity: Contains finely divided, black magnetic particles that are highly responsive to magnetic leakage fields, allowing for the detection of even very fine surface and shallow subsurface cracks, laps, seams, and inclusions.

• Excellent Contrast: Provides sharp, black indications against a variety of light-colored surfaces, ensuring clear and easily interpretable results under ambient white light. Can be used effectively with Met-L-Chek WCP-81 White Contrast Paint for enhanced visibility.

• Superior Particle Mobility: The oil-based carrier fluid (Met-L-Glo Carrier #2) ensures excellent particle suspension and mobility, allowing the particles to readily migrate and form distinct indications at defect sites.

• Non-Fluorescent: Designed for visible inspection, eliminating the need for UV light, making it suitable for environments where UV light is impractical or prohibited.

• Versatile Application: Compatible with various magnetic particle inspection equipment and magnetization techniques, including AC, DC, continuous, and residual methods.

• Industry Compliant: Meets or exceeds stringent industry standards for magnetic particle testing, including:

  • AMS-3042 (Aerospace Material Specification)

  • ASTM E-1444 (Standard Practice for Magnetic Particle Testing)

  • ASTM E-709 (Standard Guide for Magnetic Particle Testing)

  • ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section V

  • ISO 9934 (Non-destructive testing - Magnetic particle testing)
