The Met-L-Chek Fluorescent MPI Powder is a high-quality magnetic particle inspection material specifically designed for the wet method of MPI. This powder is formulated to produce a bright fluorescent response under UV-A (black) light, ensuring high-contrast indications of surface and near-surface flaws in ferromagnetic materials. Supplied in a convenient 1.1 lb (0.5 kg) container, it is ideal for smaller-scale inspections or applications requiring precise measurements.
This fluorescent MPI powder is engineered for excellent particle suspension and mobility in a suitable liquid carrier (typically water with wetting agents or a light oil). Its fine particle size and high magnetic permeability contribute to the formation of clear and well-defined indications, even for very fine discontinuities. Met-L-Chek is a trusted name in NDT consumables, and this powder is manufactured to meet or exceed relevant industry standards, ensuring reliable performance in critical inspection applications.
