HI-TEMP* PENETRANT Cau INSPECTION SYSTEM Gs PRODUCT Description: Sherwin Incorporated’ Hi-temp® Penetrant System is designed to work at Selanr odRomower Cot? ecran webs Soaps re" INFORMATION ‘Special Features: Tho Hitemp® Pencirant System is eltective at higher temperatures. Using the system can reduce inspection costs, waling imes are reduce. “Temparatures rise during welding processes. They also rise under normal operating conditions for certain kinds of equioment, such as pressure vassels, or simply, when inspection work s done in the sun. Often, before moving to a new piece, walders ‘must wal for the current piece te codllbelore inspecting it. Similarly, some fabrication processes require as much as 24 hours between steps because parts must cool enough to allow inspection with ordinary penetrants, Waiting for pars to cool — generally to less than 140°F— increases processing time, and production costs. Heat actually enhances the Hi-temp® Penetrant System's performance. Heat drives contaminants from flaws; and heat- expanded flavis trap more penetrant, giving stronger indications alter developer 's applied. Additionally, Hi-temp® K-017 Penetrant requires loss dwell time than ordinary penetrants in order to locate equivalent sized flaws. Finally, Mitemp? K-017 Penetrant is water washable, s0 removing excess penetrant does not require a "remover" under most conditions, and post- leaning of spillage and over-spray is easy. ‘The Hi-temp® Penetrant System reduces processing time and production costs. Container Sizes: case of 12 spray cans cone-gallon cans case ol 4 one-gallon cans five-gallon pails Basic Instructions: (These instructions describe the basic process. They may be amended by the user to comply with applicable specifications andior inspection criteria provided by the contracting agency.) 1. Cleaning: Cleaning may be unecessary prior to applying HHemp® K-017 Penetrant because the penetrant il ie high detorgont and dscoives organic contaminants, eapocaly on Heated eurlaces. In addtion, at highor temperatures cartain contaminants, such as oils, greases, and waxes, will liquily and be easily displaced, while other contaminants, such as water and solvens, wil evaporste. Even so, i maj be necessary fo use Helemps K-019 Remover ba'ore appying the penetrant a. K:019 Application: Spray or brush Hi-temp® K-019 Remover on the surface and allow to dwell for 1 to 4 minutes; Use shorter times for higher temperatures and less contamination, Wipe K-019 Remover from the surface with clean, dry cloth or paper towels. Then, wipe with water saturated towels. A final wipe with dry towels in order to speed drying may be required at lower temperatures. Repeat the applicaton/uiping procedure i nocassary. Wie brushing may be requited to remove scale or other Geponis, Parts goneraly removed wih afore. b. Drying: The part must be dry before applying Hitemp? K-017 Penetrant, Hotter parts dry more quickly than cooler parts, 2. Apply Penetrant: Spray or brush Hi-temp? K-017 Penetrant on alimited area, Its importent thatthe area to which the penetrantis applied not be 100 large so processing canbe completed within penettant and developer dwell time restraints, ‘The acceptable area size will vaty with inspection temperatures, part geometry, and operator experience. The penetrant must éwellon the part in orderto penetrate surface flaws. At higher temperatures, penetration occurs more Quickly. The following table suggests how K-017 dyell times vary with temperature. Allowances must be made for contamination levels and flaw sizes. 225° - 350°F 30 seconds to 1 minute 175° = 225F 1-2minutes 125°. 175F 2-3 minutes 75°- 125°F 3-0 minutes 50°. 75°F 40-30 minutes SHERWIN 3. Remove Excess Penotrant: itis important that all excess penetant be removed, MNCORPORATED otherwise the developer stop may be adversely affected. 5530 Borwick Ave. South Gate, CA 90280 a, Wipe Surface: Remove as much Hi-temp® K-017 Penetrant as possible using paper or sott, clean cloth towels to ‘wipe the surface. b. Apply Remover: Use Hi-temp® K-019 Remover to clean remaining panetrant from the surface. K-019 may be directly sprayed in a thin coat and immediately wiped from the surface. l part surtacss are smooth, using K-019 may beunnecessary. In either case, as.afinal step, the part should always be wiped with @ water saturated towel or cloth to remove the last traces of penettant. Immadiately follow water wipe with a dry wipe, Note: The surface must be completely free of both penetrant and remover, or Hitemp® D-350 Developer will not lay in an even coat. Generous water usage Is suggested. . Drying: Use paper or cloth toweling to dry the part's surface thoroughly. Special drying time before applying developer to heated parts should not be required. 4. Apply Developer: Two non-aqueous developars may be used with the Hitemp® system: D-100, a conventional
