The Met-L-Chek E-59 Solvent Cleaner / Penetrant Remover, in a larger 5-gallon (18.9L) container, serves the same essential purpose as the 1-gallon version: the controlled removal of excess liquid penetrant from the surface of a test piece during the Liquid Penetrant Testing (LPT) process. The primary difference is the larger volume, making it more economical and convenient for high-volume users or those with frequent inspection needs.  

As with the 1-gallon size, E-59 is specifically formulated to remove surface penetrant without extracting the penetrant that has seeped into surface-breaking discontinuities. This ensures clear and accurate flaw indications after the application of the developer. Met-L-Chek emphasizes that E-59 is designed for post-penetrant removal and is not intended as a pre-cleaning solvent.

The 5-gallon (18.9L) packaging is typical for industrial use, often supplied in a plastic jerrycan or a similar robust container designed for handling larger volumes of liquids.

Key Characteristics and Functions (similar to the 1-gallon version):

• Effective Penetrant Removal: Efficiently removes excess liquid penetrant.

• Controlled Action: Prevents over-removal and maintains penetrant within flaws.

• Optimizes Flaw Visibility: Reduces background interference.

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

Applications (similar to the 1-gallon version):

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