Dye Penetrant Kit

Vulcan Elastolan offers a Dye Penetrant Kit. Reli-Glo dye penetrant, developer and cleaner is used for non destructive testing, for the process of crack detection in fabricated MS and SS equipments and machinery. The products are tested and approved by the Advanced Welding Research Institute, Chennai. Red dye penetrant has excellent colour fastness, very high capillary action (penetrating power), and will enter into the minutest pore/crack/pinhole of surface discontinuity. Red dye is adsorbed in the crack/surface defect and remains till blotted by the spray of developer. The developer contains a very fine (nearly 700 mesh) powder, has excellent blotting action, and dries fast. The spray of developer lifts the dye from the surface defect and is indicated as a pink marking, taking the shape of the surface defects. Cleaner is a high power solvent used for cleaning of the excess dye penetrant from the substrate. It conforms to standards like IS 3658 ASTME 165/80.
Testing process:

• Clean the test area by spray of cleaner-RG3
• Soaked in cleaner-RG3 remove oil, grease, dirt and dust from test areas
• Apply red dye penetrant RG1
• Allow to stand for dwell period (10 to 15 minutes) for the dye to penetrate in cracks
• Clean excess dye from the test area
• Spray developer Rg2 uniformly
• Do not spray too close/over-spray
