Where Ardrox 996PB fits in the inspection process

Visible penetrant inspection. Select the exact penetrant named by the procedure and confirm current supply with QA. Do not substitute between 907PB, 996PB and other visible penetrants solely because their appearance is similar.

Ordering & application support

Tell QA your exact product, quantity, required package and governing inspection specification. Ask for current pricing, availability and technical data before ordering. We can help identify the materials your inspection process calls for.

Can I substitute another NDT product?

Use the product and system required by your written procedure. The penetrant, remover, developer, magnetic particles and contrast paint perform different roles; similarity of names is not a substitute for confirming process compatibility.

Where can I learn about the inspection methods?

Watch QA’s penetrant and magnetic particle testing video and read the accompanying guide.
