Description Water-Based Fluorescent Magnetic Particle Concentrate 14A Redi-Bath is a highly sensitive water-based magnetic particle suspension for locating very fine discontinuities in critical parts. A concentrated mixture of 14A with water conditioning agents, defoamers, and corrosion inhibitors. 14A Redi-Bath is intended for use in wet method magnetic particle inspection. 14A Redi-Bath is diluted with water for use then sprayed onto a magnetized part prior to inspection. It is used to detect cracks and seams, as well as inclusions, laps, tears and flakes. 14A Redi-bath can detect flaws that are open to the surface of the part, or slightly sub-surface. Parts tested can be forgings, welds, castings, and stamped or machined ferromagnetic materials, such as steel and other alloys of iron, nickel, and cobalt. Using 14A Redi-Bath may eliminate the need for an additional corrosion inhibitor step. The fluorescent particles in 14A collect where the magnetic field is interrupted, and glow under ultraviolet (UV) lighting. Benefits Clear, bright indications under ultra-violet light High sensitivity Easy post-testing clean up Excellent fluorescent contrast for quick identification Excellent particle mobility Good dispersion stability Great concentration consistency Superior surface wetting Non-foaming Even surface coverage and higher probability of detection Good corrosion protection
