FAQs
What types of flaws can ROCOL FLAWFINDER detect?
ROCOL FLAWFINDER is designed to detect surface-breaking cracks and flaws that are visible to the naked eye after application. It does not detect subsurface defects.
How long should I wait before observing the results?
After application and gentle wiping, observe the surface for indications. A dwell time of 30-60 seconds is generally recommended after the initial spray application, before wiping.
Can this product be used on painted surfaces?
It is best used on bare metal surfaces. Use on painted surfaces may yield unreliable results or potentially damage the paint. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the shelf life of the product?
Refer to the product packaging for the specific expiry date. Store as recommended to maintain product integrity.
Is this product safe for all metals?
It is suitable for most ferrous and non-ferrous metals. However, always perform a spot test on a small, hidden area if you have concerns about material compatibility.
How should I clean the surface after inspection?
After inspection, the residue can typically be removed with a clean cloth. For stubborn residue, a suitable solvent may be required, but always check compatibility with the base material.
Troubleshooting
No indications of cracks are visible.
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried. Re-shake the can and apply a more generous, even coat. Allow adequate dwell time. Check lighting conditions for optimal visibility. The component may not have any surface-breaking flaws.
Faint or unclear indications.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared. The spray may not have fully penetrated due to surface roughness; consider a slightly longer dwell time or a second application. Ensure adequate contrast with the background.
Spray is not dispensing properly.
Ensure the nozzle is clear. Shake the can vigorously. If the can is cold, warm it slightly in your hands. Check if the can is empty.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Effectively reveals hidden surface defects.
- Suitable for a wide range of industrial inspection needs.
- Easy to apply and interpret results.
- Portable design for on-site use.
- Cost-efficient compared to some other NDT methods.
Cons
- Requires clean surfaces for accurate readings.
- Primarily detects surface-breaking flaws; subsurface defects may be missed.
- Performance can be affected by surface finish and lighting conditions.
- May require specific environmental conditions for optimal performance (e.g., ventilation).
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the surface to be inspected is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, or any contaminants. Degreasing may be necessary.
- Shake the can vigorously before use.
- Apply a thin, even coat of the FLAWFINDER spray to the area under inspection from approximately 15-30 cm away.
- Allow sufficient dwell time for the spray to penetrate any cracks (typically 30-60 seconds).
- Wipe away excess spray gently with a clean, lint-free cloth. Do not rub vigorously.
- Observe the surface for bright red indications, which represent surface cracks or flaws.
Compatibility:
This product is designed for use on a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including steel, aluminum, and their alloys. It is not intended for porous materials. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure.
Care:
Store cans upright in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep away from sources of ignition. Dispose of empty cans responsibly according to local regulations.
