Carrier II
NDT-Approved Petroleum Base Suspension Vehicle

Carrier II is a high-purity NDT-approved suspension vehicle developed specifically for wet method magnetic particle testing.

This petroleum distillate carrier oil provides excellent particle mobility, good suspension stability and enhanced corrosion protection for reliable, spec-compliant mag particle inspections.
​
Carrier II is made with highly refined petroleum oil with virtually no odor for improved operator comfort, while the high flash point and low toxicity reduce EHS concerns.

>

Faster, more reliable inspections

• Increases inspection speed and reliability by quickly wetting the entire test surface
• Helps 14A particles to move at top speed to discontinuities

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

Improves operator comfort

• Made with a highly refined oil to reduce skin irritations and eliminate strong odors for a nicer work environment

More inspection flexibility

• 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

Safer to use

• Reduces EHS concerns with high flash point and low toxicity
• Carrier II can go anywhere in an inspection line without worrying about fire or biological hazards

Increases equipment life-span

• Protects magnetic particle equipment from internal rust and corrosion to keep expensive machines running longer with less downtime
