Fluorescent leak detection is becoming a more and more popular in the heavy industrial usage due to the high effective and more accurate to detect the leaks in the industrial systems. Actually the leak detection is developed from the UV NDT process, mainly from the liquid penetrant inspection process. The fluorescent material will glow brightly under UV light. By using fluoresces or color contrast to enhance the visual detection of leaks.
In the fluorescent leak detection service, the leaks refers to the physical hole which the fluid flows from the hols. That is how leakage occurs. Leakage testing is quite important. Cos we are able to repair it when we detect and locate the leaks. Ensuring the system is free from leaks is critical for functionality and safety, eg the vessel systems, auto A/C systems, or pipe systems. Penetrant inspection of leaks is generally subjective as compared to the quantitative leak inspection using tracer gas and pressure change techniques.
In penetrant leak testing the penetrant is applied on one side of the enclosing wall or surface of the test object and then allowed to seep through any leaks. Both visible and fluorescent penetrant may be used here as liquid dye tracers. After the penetrant has dwelled, the opposite side of the wall is inspected to see if any penetrant seeped through.
Now fluorescent leak detection is widely used in the modern industry. The refrigerant, oil, coolant, fuel, hydraulic fluid or automatic transmission fluid will sooner or later leaks. Then leak detection is necessary. Early location will help save the huge cost of replacement in the future. The whole process is also quite simple, including 2 parts. A high UV intensity UV lamp is teamed up with the appropriate fluorescent leak detection dye. The fluorescent dye is added to the system and circulated. Then the dye collects at all leak sites. Then the system is inspected with the high UV intensity lamp. The lamp will show the precise location of every leak with a bright glow. Meanwhile the fluorescent dye can remain in the system indefinitely and does not affect system components or performance.
The process is quite accurate. It can detect the leaks even smaller than 15ml. Moreover, safe, easy, save time and labor. All make the fluorescent leak detection become more and more popular in the modern industry.
As for the leading manufacturer of UV light and fluorescent material, Sunlonge developed the full set of industrial UV light and fluorescent UV dye for the all the industrial application. With our fluorescent leak detection kits tool, we can ensure the system safety and security, fulfill our commitment to create a better life for the world.
