Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- 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.
- 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.
- Removal of Excess Penetrant: Wipe off any excess Dye Penetrant from the surface.
- 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.
- 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.
