01-5970-48 - Magnaflux Spotcheck SK-416 Red Dye Penetrant Inspection Kit

Professional NDT Inspection in a Portable Package

The Magnaflux Spotcheck SK-416 Portable Kit (SKU: 01-5970-48) is the industry-standard solution for performing visible liquid penetrant inspections in the field. Designed for industrial maintenance, overhaul, and quality control professionals, this kit provides everything required to detect surface-breaking discontinuities in non-porous materials such as steel, aluminum, ceramics, and glass. The system utilizes the proven solvent-removable method, eliminating the need for water or special lighting, making it exceptionally versatile for remote job sites and shop floors alike.

At the core of the kit are three chemically optimized aerosols: the SKC-S Cleaner/Remover, SKL-SP2 Penetrant, and SKD-S2 Developer. The SKL-SP2 is a solvent-removable red color-contrast penetrant with outstanding penetrating characteristics, allowing it to seep into the tightest cracks and flaws. Once the excess penetrant is removed and the SKD-S2 developer is applied, the developer draws the remaining penetrant out of the flaw to the surface, creating a vivid red indication against a white background. This high-contrast visual result ensures that even minute defects are easily identified by the inspector.

Compliance is a critical factor in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). The SK-416 kit components meet or exceed major industry specifications, including AMS 2644, ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section V, ASTM E165, and ASTM E1417. This ensures that inspections performed with this kit are audit-ready and adhere to rigorous safety and quality standards. The included carrying case is rugged and lightweight, organizing all cans and accessories securely to prevent damage during transport.

Common Applications:

• Weld Inspection: Detecting heat-affected zone cracks, porosity, and lack of fusion.
• Automotive Parts: Checking engine blocks, cylinder heads, and suspension components.
• Aerospace: Maintenance checks on landing gear and structural fittings.
• General Fabrication: Quality assurance for castings, forgings, and pressure vessels.

The kit is an essential asset for MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) teams, providing immediate diagnostic capabilities without the lead time of lab testing. Its ease of use and reliability have made the Spotcheck brand synonymous with liquid penetrant testing worldwide.
