Water-Based Fluorescent Magnetic Particle Concentrate

Experience the superior performance of a highly sensitive water-based magnetic particle suspension designed for locating fine discontinuities in critical parts. This concentrated mixture combines magnetic particles with water conditioning agents, defoamers, and corrosion inhibitors, making it ideal for wet method magnetic particle inspection.

To use, simply dilute the concentrate with water and spray it onto a magnetized part prior to inspection. This product effectively detects cracks, seams, inclusions, laps, tears, and flakes on various ferromagnetic materials, including steel and alloys of iron, nickel, and cobalt. It can identify flaws that are open to the surface or slightly subsurface, and may eliminate the need for additional corrosion inhibitor steps. The fluorescent particles collect where the magnetic field is interrupted, glowing vividly under ultraviolet (UV) lighting for enhanced visibility.

Benefits

  • Clear, bright indications under ultra-violet light
  • High sensitivity for effective flaw detection
  • Easy post-testing clean up
  • Excellent fluorescent contrast for quick identification
  • Outstanding particle mobility and dispersion stability
  • Consistent concentration for reliable results
  • Superior surface wetting for even coverage
  • Non-foaming for hassle-free application
  • Good corrosion protection to extend part life

PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

Dilute with water for use. Shake the bottle well to suspend particles; the concentrate must be uniformly mixed before the bath is prepared. Fill tank or container with water. Measure out the appropriate amount of 14A Redi-Bath and add to water. Recommended dilution is 80 mL of 14A Redi-Bath per 1 gal of water. Refer to graduation marks on side to measure out 14A Redi-Bath. Mix for 15 minutes or until the particles are completely dispersed. Check particle concentration before use. Do not mix 14A Redi-Bath with oil.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Use 14A Redi-Bath 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. Particle suspension must be properly mixed and continuously agitated when in use to ensure uniformity and concentration.

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. Check particle concentration before use.

Maintenance Recommendations

Magnetic particle suspensions need to be properly maintained to provide consistent results. Suspension concentration and contamination should be monitored at least once a day, or according to applicable specifications.

Contaminated suspensions, or those in use for an extended length of time, should be replaced. Properly cleaning all components, parts, or inspection areas before testing helps to significantly reduce particle suspension contamination.

Particle concentration should be determined after initial bath preparation and at least once a day, or according to applicable specifications, to maintain the proper level of particles in the suspension. The most widely used method of control is by settling volume measurement in a graduated ASTM pear-shaped centrifuge tube. For testing 14A Redi-Bath, Magnaflux centrifuge tube 8493 is recommended: 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.
