Water-Based Fluorescent Magnetic Particle Suspension

Experience unparalleled inspection quality with a highly sensitive water-based magnetic particle suspension designed for locating very fine discontinuities in critical applications and hard-to-reach areas. This innovative solution combines the benefits of a water bath with the convenience of portable packaging, making it ideal for spot inspections and challenging situations where bulk processing is impractical.

This non-flammable aerosol contains high-sensitivity fluorescent magnetic particles, primarily used for field testing with a portable magnetic field generator. It is ready-to-use and produces a bright yellow-green fluorescent indication when viewed under ultraviolet light. The ultra-sensitive particles ensure clear, bright indications for unbeatable inspection accuracy.

Applied to magnetized parts prior to inspection, this suspension effectively detects cracks, seams, inclusions, laps, tears, and flakes. It can identify flaws that are open to the surface or slightly sub-surface in various materials, including forgings, welds, castings, and stamped or machined ferromagnetic materials such as steel and alloys of iron, nickel, and cobalt.

Benefits

Increases Indication Detection

  • Find smaller, finer indications in critical applications using highly sensitive, strong ferromagnetic fluorescent particles.
  • Optimized particle size and shape enable free movement, allowing particles to adhere to a wide variety of discontinuities with minimal clumping.

Minimizes Inspection Time

  • Clear, bright fluorescent indications form quickly, thanks to highly mobile magnetic particles.
  • Minimal background fluorescence enhances visibility, allowing inspectors to spend less time examining each part.

Improves Inspection Consistency and Reliability

  • Maintain system performance over extended periods with durable, easily dispersed particles.
  • Reduced particle clumping ensures consistent concentration in the suspension bath for dependable inspections.

Convenient to Use

  • Fast, reliable solution with a ready-to-use mixture of magnetic particles, water conditioners, and corrosion preventatives—no measuring or dilution required.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Use 14A Aqua-Glo with appropriate magnetization procedure and equipment. For best results, all components, parts, or areas to be tested should be clean and dry prior to testing to provide an optimal test surface and reduce particle suspension contamination. Aerosol can should be shaken sufficiently to ensure uniformity of concentration prior to applying material to the part. The suspension can be applied by gently spraying or flooding the area to be tested using the continuous or residual application method. Inspect under ultra-violet black light. If specifications require, particle concentration can be checked using a settling volume test with a Magnaflux centrifuge tube 8493 with 100 mL capacity, stem graduated from 0 to 1 mL in 0.05 mL increments.

REMOVAL

All components, parts, or inspection areas must be properly demagnetized before cleaning to ensure easy particle removal. Cleaned parts may be treated with a temporary film protective coating if longer corrosion protection is required.
