About this Product
DESCRIPTION
Product Description:
Dye Penetrant inspection is used to locate grinding cracks, welding cracks, fatigue cracks, shrinkage blow – holes, seams, laps, pores, sold, shuts, porosity etc. and at the same time it is a non destructive testing method.
There are three chemical is been used for dye penetrant inspection:
(1) CLEANER AAM- 151
(2) DYE PENETRANT AAM – 152
(3) DEVELOPER AAM – 153
Inspection Procedure:
- Make the surface free from grease, oil and rust or any other foreign particles of the flow detection.
- Remove the Rust by wire brushing and then clean with the cleaner (AAM – 151)
- Then the Scale by wire brushing and then clean with the cleaner (AAM – 151)
- Then after spray or brush / dip Dye Penetrant(AAM -152) on the article and allow it to remain for a period called PENETRATION TIME which varies for material and type of defect.
- The excess of Penetrant should be removed from the surface by using cleaner (AAM – 151) and then after spraying of Developer (AAM – 153) gives visible pinkish indication of defects.
