The Met-L-Chek FBP-913 Fluorescent Penetrant is a high-performance, Level 3 sensitivity liquid penetrant specifically formulated for detecting very fine surface discontinuities in non-porous materials. This product is an Oil & Solvent Free, water-washable (Method A) fluorescent penetrant supplied in a large 55-gallon (208 liters) drum. The listed "PRICE PER GALLON" indicates that the final cost will be determined by the total volume purchased at the quoted per-gallon rate.  

As a Type 1 fluorescent penetrant, FBP-913 contains specialized dyes that emit a bright yellow-green fluorescence under ultraviolet-A (UV-A) light, making even minute surface flaws like hairline cracks, porosity, and tight leaks highly visible against the background of the inspected part. This high level of fluorescence ensures excellent indication visibility, crucial for critical quality control inspections.  

The water-washable (Method A) nature of FBP-913 simplifies the removal of excess penetrant from the test surface after the designated dwell time. A simple water rinse is typically sufficient, streamlining the inspection process and often eliminating the need for separate solvent removers. This characteristic also contributes to a more environmentally friendly workflow. While primarily water-washable, FBP-913 can also be used with solvent removal techniques (Method C) if specific application requirements dictate.  

A key feature of FBP-913 is its Oil & Solvent Free formulation. This makes it a more environmentally responsible option, as it is biodegradable and contains no Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), improving workplace safety and reducing air pollution. Furthermore, its composition is low in sulfur and halogens, making it safe for use on a wide range of metallic materials, including sensitive alloys like titanium and high-nickel alloys, without the risk of corrosion or other adverse reactions.  

Met-L-Chek FBP-913 is a high-quality penetrant that meets stringent industry standards, including AMS-2644 and is listed on the Qualified Products List (QPL) for aerospace applications, signifying its reliability for critical inspections. It also conforms to specifications such as AMS-2647, ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section V, ASTM E-165, and ASTM E-1417.  

Supplied in a 55-gallon (208 liters) drum, this volume is ideal for high-volume users or those with continuous inspection needs, offering a cost-effective solution compared to purchasing smaller quantities. The "PRICE PER GALLON" model allows for price transparency based on the total volume.

FBP-913 is a versatile liquid that can be applied through various methods, including immersion, spraying, or brushing, depending on the size and geometry of the parts being inspected. It is a clear, yellow-green viscous liquid, free of sediment, ensuring consistent performance.
