Product information

Magnaflux ZP-14A Water Soluble Developer

ZP-14A is a water-soluble developer for the enhancing penetrant indications during liquid penetrant inspections. It produces a uniform white porous coating when dry which is easily removed in post inspection cleaning by a water spray. Advantages include bright and highly defined indications and can be cleaned with water.  

This white free-flowing powder dissolves in water to form a developer solution and does not require agitation once the developer bath is prepared. ZP-14A is recommended for use with Level 2 ZL-2C, Level 3 ZL-27A and Level 4 ZL-37 post-emulsifiable penetrants.

Supplied in 5Kg drum

Instructions for use

Before using any developer, ensure the test surface is clean, free from excess penetrant, and dry. Residue from water-based penetrants can be removed with a water spray; solvent-based penetrants by wiping with a solvent cleaner.

With visible penetrants, cracks will appear as red lines and porosity as spots. If you see a general reddish colour or pink film, that means the penetrant was not completely removed.

With fluorescent penetrants, indications will fluoresce bright yellow/green under UV light. If you see a general greenish film, that means the penetrant was not completely removed.

Apply by immersion dip, spray or flow on techniques (see below) for just long enough to completely cover the part.

Dry the part thoroughly. For best results, use forced warm air drying at around 60ºC. Remove from the dryer as soon as the developer is dry or it could bake on and be difficult to remove.

Allow a minimum of 10 minutes development time before inspecting the component.

After inspection, wash off the developer film with a water spray and, if necessary, a brush.

Spray or flow-on application
Avoid foaming as foam bubbles in the developer film can cause voids in the dried coating.

Immersion dip application
Make up a developer bath:

• Ensure that the developer tank and the part to be tested are clean. Excess penetrant will contaminate the bath and shorten its life.
• Fill the tank with the appropriate amount of water (see table below) that is no hotter than 50°C. We recommend using soft water or de-ionised water where possible. ZP-14A baths may show traces of fluffy sediment in hard water; this will not interfere with the developer or its removability.
• Wearing a suitable filter face mask, slowly add the required amount of powder (see table below) while agitating the water.
• Continue mixing until the powder is fully dispersed.
• Don’t leave the component in the bath for too long – this will reduce the sensitivity of the process by removing penetrant from shallow discontinuities.

We recommend the following concentrations for the make-up of your developer bath:

Penetrant type	Concentration of powder per litre of water
ZYGLO	120 – 200 g

 

The concentration should be monitored on a regular basis to maintain the correct working strength is maintained. To do this, take a known volume of the bath, evaporate off the water and weigh the residue. The concentration can be calculated as follows:

For a 50 ml sample volume: Weight of residue (g) x 20 = Concentration (g per litre)

A less accurate method is to measure the specific gravity of the bath and cross-reference with the graph at the bottom of this page.
