Liquid Dye Penetrants > Red Dye Penetrants

ORION series of dye penetrant flaw detection materials consist of a RED DYE PENETRANT, DEVELOPER AND
PENETRANT REMOVER/CLEANER. It is used for the detection of surface defects of all kinds of material. In this process
the inspection is carried out under normal light.

Red Dye Penetrant : Brilliant red mobile fluid with very low surface tension and capillary action.

Penetrant Remover : Solvent based, volatile liquid that cleans and removes grease and other types of dirt
and also removes excess penetrant from the surface.

Developer : Solvent based, volatile liquid suspension containing very fine white powders. It is used
for drawing out the penetrant from the defects onto the surface of the component
under inspection and provides an uniform white background for maximum contrast.
Bright red indications of the defects are revealed clearly on the surface.

FEATURES

Quickly and acurately locates surface defects which are otherwise invisible to the
naked eye
Non-corrosive to all types of metals
Non-toxic
High area coverage

APPLICATIONS

Castings : Surface Porosity Cold shuts etc.


Forgings : Laps, cracks, bursts etc.
Weldments : Cracks, Pores etc.
Metallic Materials : Fatigue racks, Grinding cracks, Heat treatment cracks etc.
Tanks, pipes : Through-leaks.
Carbide Tips & Tools : Cracks, lack of bond.
Non-metallic Materials : Plastics, ceramics, glass etc.
