B101C FLUO MAGNETIC INK 400ML AEROSOL CO2 PMUC – Fluorescent MPI Medium

B101C FLUO MAGNETIC INK 400ML AEROSOL CO2 PMUC is a fluorescent magnetic detecting medium developed by BABBCO, a company within the SOCOMORE Group, for professional non-destructive testing applications.

The product is supplied in a 400 ml aerosol format and is intended for Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI), also known as Magnetic Particle Testing (MT).

B101C is described by the manufacturer as a very fine and stable magnetic inspection medium. It is suitable for inspection techniques using current flow, electromagnets and permanent magnets, subject to the applicable inspection procedure.

As a fluorescent magnetic ink, B101C is associated with magnetic particle examinations in which particle indications are observed under specified fluorescent inspection lighting conditions.

RIO Middle East lists B101C within its Magnetic Testing product range.

B101C Technical Specifications

The following details identify the manufacturer-listed B101C aerosol configuration.

The published package weight is a manufacturer listing value and should not be confused with the 400 ml nominal aerosol volume.

Additional chemical properties and operating conditions must be verified through the applicable product documentation.

What Is B101C Fluorescent Magnetic Ink Used For?

B101C fluorescent magnetic ink is used as a magnetic detecting medium in fluorescent magnetic particle inspection.

Magnetic particle testing is a non-destructive testing method intended for ferromagnetic materials.

During an appropriate inspection, a magnetic field is established in the component. Surface and near-surface discontinuities may create magnetic flux leakage that attracts magnetic particles.

These accumulations form indications that can be examined under the required viewing conditions.

B101C supplies fluorescent magnetic detecting particles for this inspection process.

The magnetic ink does not independently classify an indication as an unacceptable defect. Inspection interpretation depends on the test procedure, the component, the magnetic field and the applicable acceptance criteria.

Manufacturer-Documented Features

Very Fine Magnetic Detecting Medium

BABBCO describes B101C as very fine.

Particle characteristics are important when selecting magnetic detecting media for controlled non-destructive testing procedures.

However, this description does not establish a universal minimum detectable defect size or guaranteed inspection sensitivity.

Stable Formulation

The manufacturer also identifies B101C as very stable.

This characteristic relates to the product’s documented formulation and should not be interpreted as permission to disregard preparation, application or storage instructions.

Aerosol Packaging

The 400 ml CO2 aerosol format distinguishes this commercial reference from bulk magnetic inspection liquids and separately supplied magnetic powders.

The aerosol provides a packaged form of the fluorescent magnetic detecting medium for use under the applicable inspection procedure.

Multiple Magnetization Techniques

BABBCO identifies B101C for use with several magnetic particle inspection techniques.

These include:

• Current-flow magnetization.
• Electromagnetic inspection techniques.
• Permanent magnet techniques.

Selection of the magnetization technique must be based on the component and the governing inspection procedure.

Understanding Fluorescent Magnetic Particle Inspection

Fluorescent Magnetic Particle Inspection uses magnetic detecting particles that produce visible fluorescence under appropriate inspection lighting.

In a correctly established magnetic particle testing process, particle accumulations may reveal indications associated with magnetic flux leakage.

B101C is intended for this fluorescent examination approach.

The Role of UV-A Lighting

Fluorescent magnetic particle indications are normally examined using suitable UV-A illumination.

The required UV-A intensity, ambient visible light limits and examination conditions must follow the applicable inspection specification.

The manufacturer’s product description does not replace the need to verify lighting requirements.

Ferromagnetic Material Requirements

Magnetic particle inspection applies to suitable ferromagnetic materials.

It is not a general-purpose technique for all metals.

For example, aluminium and many non-ferromagnetic alloys are not inspected using conventional magnetic particle testing.

The component material and relevant inspection requirements should be confirmed before selecting B101C.

B101C Aerosol vs MG118 Fluorescent Magnetic Powder

B101C and MG118 both belong to the broader category of fluorescent magnetic inspection materials, but they are supplied in different forms.

MG118 requires the preparation of an appropriate organic suspension according to manufacturer instructions.

B101C is supplied as an aerosol magnetic detecting medium.

The products should not be regarded as interchangeable without confirmation of the applicable inspection procedure.

Customers can also view MG118 FLUO MAGNETIC POWDER 1KG BUCKET for the separately supplied powder format.

B101C Fluorescent Ink vs B103C Black Magnetic Ink

B101C and B103C are both magnetic particle inspection consumables, but they support different examination approaches.

B101C Fluorescent Magnetic Ink

B101C is a fluorescent magnetic detecting medium intended for examination under suitable fluorescent inspection lighting.

B103C Black Magnetic Ink

B103C is a black magnetic detecting medium used in visible magnetic particle inspection procedures.

The appropriate choice depends on whether the required procedure specifies fluorescent or visible magnetic particle testing.

For the black magnetic ink alternative, see B103C BLACK MAGNETIC INK 400ML AEROSOL CO2 (PMUC).

Where B101C Fits in the MPI Procedure

B101C is associated with the magnetic detecting medium application stage of a fluorescent magnetic particle examination.

A typical inspection workflow includes several controlled activities.

Component Preparation

The inspected surface must meet the applicable cleanliness and condition requirements.

Preparation requirements vary according to the component, material and inspection specification.

Magnetization

The required magnetic field is established using the specified equipment and technique.

BABBCO lists current-flow methods, electromagnets and permanent magnets among techniques suitable for B101C.

Magnetic Medium Application

B101C is applied according to the current Technical Data Sheet and governing NDT procedure.

The correct application method and timing depend on the inspection process.

Fluorescent Examination

Indications are examined under the specified fluorescent viewing conditions.

The examination must use appropriate lighting and follow the applicable inspection standard.

Evaluation and Recording

Qualified personnel evaluate and document relevant indications according to the applicable inspection criteria.

B101C supplies magnetic detecting material; it does not replace the inspection procedure or professional interpretation.

Applications and Inspection Environments

B101C is intended for magnetic particle inspection of suitable ferromagnetic components.

Potential professional inspection contexts include:

• Industrial quality-control examinations.
• Inspection of suitable steel components.
• Manufacturing inspection procedures.
• Maintenance and repair inspection operations.
• Fluorescent MPI processes using suitable magnetic equipment.
• Non-destructive testing material procurement.

These are general contexts for magnetic particle inspection and do not constitute approval for every component, material or industry.

Suitability must be established using the applicable inspection standard, material requirements and manufacturer documentation.
