F9W-Water based
PRODUCT DATA SHEET
Fluorescent Powder for Wet Method Magnetic
Particle Inspection
DESCRIPTION
ZChek F9W is a Green Colored water based Magnetic Particle Powder designed to be
fluorescing Bright Green under UV Light. ZChek F9W consists of high sensitivity particles
for detection of very fine discontinuities in Ferromagnetic materials. Using the state-of-the-
art encapsulation technology, ZChek F9W is manufactured to exhibit excellent properties
(High permeability, low retentivity, high mobility and optimum particle distribution)
required for high sensitive fluorescent MPI process. Special additives in F9W provide
excellent particle mobility in water medium and avoid flash rusting of parts.
CONFORMANCE / SPECIFICATION COMPLIANCE
• ASME B &PV Code, Sec V
• AMS 3044
• ASTM E 1444
• ASTM E 709
• EN ISO 9934-2
APPLICATIONS
ZChek F9W is designed to detect medium to fine surface and slightly subsurface
discontinuities like inclusions, seams, shrink cracks, tears, laps, flakes, welding defects,
grinding cracks, quenching cracks, and fatigue cracks in raw forgings, castings( during
preliminary stage ), auto components(machining cracks, grinding cracks, heat treatment
cracks), fabrication, steel making (billets and bars), surface transportation, oil and gas and
all applications which involve further processing like machining and oiling.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
• Use F9W at 10.75 – 11 grams per litre. Run the pump for 15 minutes before testing.
• Check the concentration before use at least once each day using centrifuge tube.
• Parts should be clean and dry prior to testing.
• The bath must be under continuous agitation
• Using the wet continuous method, the bath is applied to all surfaces of the part. The
instant the bath stream is removed from the part the magnetizing current is applied.
