Circle Systems Sir-Chem® Dry Powder 63 (Red) is a highly refined, non-fluorescent red magnetic particle powder specifically designed for the dry method of magnetic particle inspection (MPI). This 10 lb. jar of powder provides excellent color contrast on most surfaces under visible light conditions, making it ideal for revealing minute to medium discontinuities on a wide range of fabricated components and weldments.
Sir-Chem® 63 is widely used in various industries for inspecting critical components such as bridges, pipes, large tanks, machinery, and equipment. Its fine particle size and high magnetic permeability ensure strong indications with good particle buildup at flaw locations, allowing for reliable and efficient defect detection. The red color offers excellent contrast against lighter metallic backgrounds, enhancing the visual identification of indications.
