OVERVIEW

Reliable Crack Detection for Welders

Ensure the quality of your welds with the Miller SKL-SP2 Spotcheck Penetrant, available in a cost-effective 12-pack for busy shops and field crews. This red dye penetrant is the welder's go-to solution for finding surface defects that the naked eye might miss. Whether you are troubleshooting a leaking pressure vessel, inspecting a critical structural joint, or verifying a repair, SKL-SP2 provides a fast and simple method to reveal cracks, porosity, lack of fusion, and undercutting.

Using the product is a straightforward three-step process: clean the surface, spray on the penetrant, and after a short dwell time, wipe off the excess and apply a developer. The bright red dye bleeds out from any surface imperfections, creating a clear red line or spot against the white developer. This immediate visual feedback allows you to address issues on the spot, saving time and preventing costly rework later. The aerosol format is particularly useful for field work, allowing you to easily spray parts in difficult positions without the need for brushes or bulk containers.

Designed for versatility, this penetrant works effectively on virtually any non-porous material, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and ceramics. It is an essential tool for any welding rig, providing peace of mind that your work meets the necessary quality standards. With this 12-pack case, you ensure your team is stocked up and ready for extensive testing jobs or routine maintenance inspections.

FAQ

Dwell time depends on the material and temperature, but generally ranges from 10 to 30 minutes to allow the penetrant to fully migrate into discontinuities.

No, SKL-SP2 is a solvent-removable penetrant. Excess penetrant should be removed by wiping with a cloth dampened with a solvent cleaner, not by washing with water.

It is suitable for use on most non-porous materials, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals (steel, aluminum, stainless), ceramics, and some plastics.

Yes, SKL-SP2 is listed on QPL-AMS-2644 as Type 2, Methods B, C, and D, and meets Boeing PS-21202 requirements.

Yes, after removing the excess penetrant, you must apply a developer (like SKD-S2) to draw the penetrant back out of the crack and create a visible red indication.

Yes, the aerosol propellant and solvent carrier are flammable. Keep away from open flames, sparks, and hot surfaces during application.

Shelf life is typically 5 years from the date of manufacture when stored properly in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Yes, it can be used for leak testing by applying penetrant to one side of a wall and developer to the other to see if the dye passes through.
