The Met-L-Chek E-59 Solvent Cleaner / Penetrant Remover, supplied in a large 55-gallon (208-liter) drum, is a significant quantity of the same essential solution used in Liquid Penetrant Testing (LPT) for the controlled removal of excess penetrant. This volume is intended for high-volume industrial users with continuous or frequent LPT operations.

As with the smaller sizes, E-59 is specifically formulated to effectively clean the surface of the test piece after the penetrant dwell time, removing residual penetrant without extracting the penetrant that has seeped into surface-breaking discontinuities. This critical step ensures the clarity and accuracy of flaw indications when the developer is subsequently applied. Met-L-Chek emphasizes that E-59 is designed for post-penetrant removal and should not be used as a pre-cleaning solvent.

The 55-gallon (208-liter) drum is the standard industrial packaging for bulk liquids, typically made of steel or durable plastic. This volume offers the most economical option for large-scale LPT applications.

Key Characteristics and Functions (similar to smaller versions):

• Effective Penetrant Removal: Efficiently cleans excess liquid penetrant.

• Controlled Action: Prevents penetrant from being removed from within flaws.

• Optimizes Flaw Visibility: Reduces background interference for clear indications.

• Compatible with Met-L-Chek Penetrants: Ensures system compatibility.

Applications (similar to smaller versions):

• Post-Penetrant Removal in Liquid Penetrant Testing (LPT) / Dye Penetrant Inspection (DPI) in high-volume industrial settings.
