14AM
Oil-Based Fluorescent Magnetic Particle Suspension

14AM is a read-to-use magnetic particle suspension liquid for locating very fine discontinuities in critical parts and applications by providing clear, bright, fluorescent green indications for excellent inspection quality and accuracy.

This high-performance prepared particle bath combines Magnaflux’s best-in-industry 14A magnetic particles with Carrier II NDT-approved suspension oil for quick, reliable mag particle testing with less maintenance.
​
14AM is an ideal choice for high performance inspections of precision safety-critical or high-stress components, and to extend the life of valuable mag particle equipment.
​
14AM meets all major industry and NDT specification requirements, including Aerospace, ASTM and ISO 9934.

>
Increases indication detection with 14A particles
  • Find smaller, finer indications in critical applications using the highly sensitive, strong ferromagnetic 14A particle
  • Optimized particle size and shape help particles move freely to stick to a wide variety of discontinuities with less particle clumping
    ​
Minimizes inspection time
  • Clear, bright fluorescent indications form quickly due to the highly fluorescent, highly mobile 14A magnetic particles
  • Minimal background fluorescence help indications stand out more so inspectors need to spend less time examining each part 
  • Increases inspection speed and reliability by quickly wetting the entire test surface
    ​
Improve inspection consistency and reliability
  • Maintain magnetic particle system performance over greater periods of time thanks to the highly-durable, easily-dispersed 14A fluorescent particles
  • Reduced particle clumping helps maintain particle concentration in the suspension bath for dependable inspections

Decreases maintenance
  • Magnetic particle baths last longer due to slow evaporation, and is less susceptible to contamination from bacteria or fungus
  • Protects magnetic particles like 14A from wear and tear and keeps them evenly dispersed throughout the bath
  • Protects magnetic particle equipment from internal rust and corrosion to keep expensive machines running longer with less downtime

Convenient & versatile
  • Reliable, ready-to-use particle bath with 14A magnetic particles and Carrier II petroleum distillate suspension oil
  • Can be used for virtually all magnetic particle inspections with conformance to all major international magnetic particle testing specifications
  • Prevents corrosion of most alloys and eliminates post-inspection processing for corrosion protection
