Magnaflux Carrier II NDT-Approved Petroleum Base Suspension Vehicle
Carrier II is a high-purity, NDT-approved suspension vehicle specifically designed for wet method magnetic particle testing. This petroleum distillate carrier oil offers exceptional particle mobility, excellent suspension stability, and enhanced corrosion protection, ensuring reliable and compliant magnetic particle inspections.
Formulated with highly refined petroleum oil, Carrier II features virtually no odor, improving operator comfort while maintaining a high flash point and low toxicity to minimize environmental, health, and safety (EHS) concerns.
Benefits
Faster, More Reliable Inspections
- Increases inspection speed and reliability by quickly wetting the entire test surface
- Facilitates rapid movement of 14A particles towards discontinuities
Decreased Maintenance
- Prolongs magnetic particle bath life due to slow evaporation and reduced contamination risks
- Protects magnetic particles from wear, ensuring even dispersion throughout the bath
Improved Operator Comfort
- Highly refined oil minimizes skin irritations and eliminates strong odors for a better work environment
More Inspection Flexibility
- Compatible with virtually all magnetic particle inspections and conforms to major international testing specifications
- Prevents corrosion of most alloys, eliminating the need for post-inspection processing for corrosion protection
Safer to Use
- High flash point and low toxicity reduce EHS concerns, making it safe for use in inspection lines
- Not classified as a flammable liquid according to 29 CFR 1910.106
Increased Equipment Lifespan
- Protects magnetic particle equipment from internal rust and corrosion, extending machine life and minimizing downtime
Features
- Odorless: Virtually no odor for improved operator comfort
- Excellent Particle Mobility: Rapid wetting and particle transport to discontinuities
- Good Dispersion Stability: Consistent bath concentration over extended use
- Corrosion Protection: Protects parts and equipment from rust and corrosion
- Superior Wetting & Surface Coverage: Ensures thorough surface contact for reliable inspections
- Very Low Toxicity: Minimizes EHS concerns in inspection environments
- Nonfluorescent: No background interference with fluorescent particle indications
- High Flash Point: Reduced fire risk vs. standard petroleum carriers
- Low Volatility & Wide Temperature Stability: Reliable performance across operating conditions
Monitor Bath Temperature: Always verify your Carrier II bath temperature stays within 55–120°F (12–49°C) per SAE AMS 2641 and ASTM E709. Outside this range, particle mobility drops significantly and fine indications may be missed entirely. In cold shop environments, allow the bath to warm before beginning inspections — never heat the bath above 120°F as this accelerates evaporation and alters particle concentration.
