Cleaners and additives for fluorescent penetrant testing
In fluorescent penetrant testing (PT), the quality of the test essentially depends on two factors: a clean surface and a stable, reusable test process.
Cleaners and additives for fluorescent penetrant testing are therefore indispensable aids for preparing, optimizing and extending the service life of the test equipment used.
Why cleaners and additives in penetrant testing?
Penetrant testing depends on the interaction of all process steps - from surface preparation to display evaluation. Contamination or altered properties of the test equipment can lead to false indications, incorrect results or shortened service life.
Cleaners and additives ensure:
- Residue-free preparation of the test surface
- Efficient removal of excess penetrant
- Stabilization of suspensions and carrier liquids
- Extension of the service life of test equipment
- Standard-compliant and reproducible test results
Cleaner - For clean surfaces and precise results
Pre-cleaner
Pre-cleaners optimally prepare the surface for the penetration of the fluorescent test agent. They reliably remove oil, grease, dust, rust and other contaminants that could have a negative impact on the penetration behavior.
Intermediate cleaner
After the penetration time, the excess penetrant is removed - without affecting the material in imperfections. PFINDER offers various intermediate cleaners for this purpose, which enable a uniform and safe developer effect.
PFINDER: Specialist for cleaners and additives
PFINDER is one of the leading suppliers in the field of non-destructive material testing and offers a wide range of cleaners and additives for fluorescent penetrant testing. These help to extend the quality and service life of the testing process. They are used, for example, to specifically clean surfaces before the test and/or to improve the foaming behavior in the intermediate cleaning of test systems.
They are suitable for both manual and automated testing systems - from individual part testing to series production.
