Met-L-Chek R-502 High Temperature Remover - 1 Gallon (3.7 Liters)

Ensure efficient and precise penetrant removal in your high-temperature Liquid Penetrant Inspection (LPI) processes with this 1-gallon (3.7 Liters) container of Met-L-Chek R-502 High Temperature Remover. Formulated to complement high-temperature penetrants like Met-L-Chek VP-302, R-502 effectively removes excess surface penetrant without disturbing indications, even on components operating at elevated temperatures.

Key Features & Benefits:

• High Temperature Compatibility: Specifically designed for use on components within a wide temperature range of 51.6°C to 176.6°C (125°F to 350°F). This allows for seamless integration into high-temperature LPI systems, enabling inspections without lengthy cooling periods.

• Effective Solvent Remover (Method C): R-502 is a Class 2, Method C (solvent removable) penetrant remover. It efficiently dissolves and lifts excess penetrant from the surface of the part, ensuring that only the penetrant trapped within discontinuities remains. It is typically applied by dampening a lint-free cloth and gently wiping the surface.

• Rapid Evaporation: Engineered for a fast evaporation rate, which minimizes drying time and accelerates the overall inspection process.

• Comprehensive Industry Compliance: Meets or exceeds the stringent requirements of numerous global NDT standards, ensuring its suitability for critical applications:

  • AMS-2644: Qualified Products List (QPL) listed, signifying aerospace approval.

  • ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section V: Approved for use in pressure vessel and boiler inspections.

  • ASTM E-165 / ASTM E-1417: General standards for LPI practice.

  • ISO-3452-2: International standard for penetrant testing materials.

  • MIL-I-25135C: Military specification for penetrant inspection.

• Material Safe Formulation: Low in sulfur, chlorine, fluorine, and other halogens, making it safe for use on sensitive alloys, including titanium and high-nickel alloys found in nuclear, aerospace, and medical components.

• Bulk 1-Gallon Size: Provides a practical volume for various inspection needs in workshops, field kits, or for larger industrial operations.

• Trusted Manufacturer: Met-L-Chek is a long-standing, reputable leader in NDT consumables, known for producing high-quality and reliable inspection materials.
