Solvent cleaning remains the simplest method for preparing a surface for
penetrant inspection. However, there can be several disadvantages, such
as flammability, VOCs, health and safety hazards, high material costs, and
high disposal costs. All of these issues disappear when using an aqueous
cleaning process. When changing over from solvent to an aqueous process,
there are new factors to consider:
DARACLEANPRODUCTMANAGER
ASTM E-1417-05
Section 7.1.1 (Rewritten to include alternate cleaning methods.)
One or more appropriate cleaning methods such as solvent cleaning,
vapor degreasing, ultrasonic cleaning, aqueous-based cleaning, or methods agreed upon with the cognizant engineering organization shall be used
for the removal of oils, greases, and waxes, and as the final step before
penetrant examination. If etching is required, the parts shall be appropriately cleaned, then etched and delivered to penetrant examination.

Offered Solution:
Magnaflux recommends that the tables
in ASTM E-1444 and AS-5282 be
used as a guide, and that Ketos Ring
performance should not be specifically
held to these parameters. Actual ring
performance needs to be monitored on a
day to day basis (taking into account the
Magnaflux Position:
During the course of attempting to fully
understand this issue, Magnaflux suspended the shipment of Ketos Rings to
our customers. The only issue we have
identified with the performance of our
Rings is at the 500 amp level. In ALL
other aspects the rings have met or
exceeded specification requirements. All
rings produced by other manufacturers
that we have evaluated have yielded the
exact same results.
Because Magnaflux understands
changes to specification language will
take time, and because we know our rings
are the same or superior to the other
rings on the market, we have resumed
the Ketos Ring shipments. This letter
accompanies each ring as an explanation
regarding the 500 amp level issue facing
the entire industry.
