Extended Product Information

FAQs

How long should the dye penetrant dwell?

The typical dwell time is 10-30 minutes. Always refer to the product instructions for specific recommendations.

What safety precautions should I take?

Wear appropriate PPE, including gloves, eye protection, and ensure good ventilation during use. Avoid inhaling the spray.

Can I use this on plastics?

It is generally suitable for various materials, including some plastics, but it is always recommended to test on a small area first.

How do I clean the surface after inspection?

Use the Cleaner spray to remove the developer and any remaining penetrant. Dispose of used materials properly.

What if I miss a flaw during inspection?

Ensure proper lighting and surface preparation. If you suspect a flaw, reapply the penetrant and developer for a more detailed examination.

Is the Rocol FLAWFINDER System Kit reusable?

The kit is not reusable. Each can is for one-time use during the inspection process.

Troubleshooting

Faint or no indication of flaws after development.

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned before applying the dye penetrant. Check the dwell time and ensure it was sufficient. Make sure the developer was applied evenly.

Developer spray not working properly.

Check that the nozzle is not blocked. Shake the can well before use. Ensure the developer is within its expiration date.

Difficulty seeing indications in bright light.

Perform the inspection in a shaded or dimly lit area to improve visibility. Consider using a UV light source to enhance contrast.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Quickly identifies surface defects.
  • Non-destructive testing preserves the integrity of the material.
  • Easy-to-use kit format.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Surface Preparation: Clean the inspection surface thoroughly with the Cleaner spray to remove any dirt, oil, or debris. The surface must be clean and dry.
  2. Dye Penetrant Application: Apply an even coating of the Dye Penetrant spray to the surface. Allow the penetrant to dwell for the recommended time (typically 10-30 minutes), allowing it to seep into any surface-breaking flaws.
  3. Removal of Excess Penetrant: Wipe off any excess Dye Penetrant from the surface.
  4. Developer Application: Apply the Developer spray to the surface, creating a thin, even coating. This will draw the penetrant out of the flaws, making them visible.
  5. Inspection: Inspect the surface under adequate lighting conditions for indications of flaws. The developer will make flaws visible by drawing out the dye.

Compatibility:

The Rocol FLAWFINDER system is compatible with a wide range of materials, including metals, alloys, and some plastics. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility.

Care:

  • Store the sprays in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during application.
  • Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and eye protection.
  • Dispose of used materials according to local regulations.
