Ambersil Flaw Detector System

Many cracks in engineering materials can be deep in spite of having a very small opening width on the surface and can cause very serious defects. By normal visual inspection such cracks may be very difficult to detect, but penetrant flaw detection is an extension of the visual inspection method highlighting otherwise invisible defects. The control is carried out using 3 products: Flaw Detector Cleaner, Flaw Detector Penetrant and Flaw Detector Developer. Flaw Detector Cleaner is a fast drying, powerful degreasing solvent blend free of 1,1,1-trichloroethane or other chlorinated solvents for the removal of dirt, grime and contaminants. Designed for the pre-treatment of the surface, prior to liquid penetrant inspection and to remove all visible, coloured traces of the penetrant. Flaw Detector Penetrant is a water-washable liquid penetrant easily visible under natural white light.

Quickly dissolves grease, oil, lubricants, tar and adhesives
Effective wash-away of contaminants and coloured penetrant
Fast evaporation to minimize downtime
Leaves no residue
Stable, non-staining and non-corrosive
Safe on most plastics, coatings and rubbers (test prior to use)
Penetrant:
Detects cracks, lack of fusion, and open cavities in welded parts
Finds cracks and cavities caused by metal fatigue and cutting operations
Checks for porosity or leaks in pipes, tanks, boilers, heat exchangers
Identifies discontinuities, folds and cracks in castings, forgings and ceramics
Developer:
A dispersion of white powder in a fast evaporating solvent
High visual contrast when used with bright red penetrant
Cleaner, penetrant and developer are supplied separately in 400ml aerosols
