Description / Abstract:
This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) covers water conditioning
agents used to facilitate aqueous wet-method magnetic particle
inspection.
Such conditioning agents, in powder or liquid form, provide
suitable corrosion protection, wetting, and particle dispensability
properties when mixed in water for application of magnetic
particles on the surface of an object for magnetic particle
inspection as described in AMS3042, AMS3044, ASTM E1444, and
others.
Water conditioning agents can consist of varying combinations of
such components as dispersants, surfactants, corrosion inhibitors,
and anti-foaming agents. Individual components may be added to the
bath of a system to develop specific properties. The user is
referred to the manufacturer of the conditioning agent to develop
the most suitable combination of ingredients for the user's
requirements.
Safety - Hazardous Materials
While the materials, methods, applications, and processes
described or referenced in this aerospace standard may involve the
use of hazardous materials, this aerospace standard practice does
not address the hazards which may be involved in such use. It is
the sole responsibility of the user to ensure familiarity with the
safe and proper use of any hazardous materials and to take
necessary precautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of
all personnel involved.
