fluorescent leak detection applications open and closed loop · lubrication systems · hydraulic systems · pipelines · cooling control and hydrostatic pressure systems · fuel systems · generator engines myths · hydraulic systems are supposed to leak · dyes cost too much · hard to implement in large systems benefits · fast easy and accurate · finds all leaks the first time every time · economical · reduces labor costs · perfect for preventive maintenance · environmentally friendly · remains safely in system · improves working conditions · decreases equipment downtime · increases efficiency of machinery operation leak checking valves and fittings with the optimaxtm 3000 blue light led flashlight industrial systems leak more than just fluids they leak money this is why in any industrial system leaks of any kind oil hydraulics gasoline diesel fuel or water are a source of major concern do this simple math there are 86,400 seconds in a day 31,536,000 seconds in a year if there is a leak at the rate of 1 drip every 5 seconds this means 6,307,200 drips per year left undetected these leaks will take a huge bite out of your profits plus they lead to equipment breakdown accidents and environmental damage unrepaired leaks disrupt production operations and increase equipment downtime also leaks may lead to severe penalties for violation of tough environmental standards imposed by both local and national governments these and other factors make the need to find an effective economical and efficient leak detection method all the more important and urgent tech tips · tanks often have a separate holding area where the oil is cooled therefore inject the fluorescent dye into the dispensed area to ensure adequate circulation · when put into large tanks the dye should first be diluted with the oil so it quickly mixes · when determining dye dosage always base it on the capacity of the system including lines and tank in addition to the tank capacity there is a significant amount of oil located in the lines · develop a dye service card specific to each application · include leak checking into your regular maintenance program current leak detection methods how effective are they there are many leak detection methods including visual inspection and bubble solutions each has its advantages and disadvantages one significant disadvantage is that while all of these methods may find some leaks they are not effective in finding all leaks another disadvantage is that it is hard to locate the leaks unless you are very close to the suspect leak site now there is a new and revolutionary way to detect leaks that beats all other methods when it comes to effectiveness cost and durability spectroline® fluorescent leak detection a revolutionary solution many large industrial systems have hundreds of possible leak sites including dozens of valves and fittings spectroline® fluorescent leak detection works effectively in any enclosed circulatory system where fluids are used for lubrication hydraulics cooling control or hydrostatic pressure testing fluorescent dyes also can reveal leaks in static systems that can be pressurized or agitated in terms of cost ease of use and effectiveness spectroline® fluorescent leak detection is the best of all available methods it is the easiest quickest and most effective way to pinpoint the exact location of each and every leak the first time every time it is also the only method that allows inspection of an entire system under virtually all conditions what the pros are saying the yellow dye in oil-glo 22 works great in finding hard-to-spot leaks dennis lee timkin company oil-glo 44 is easy to use and i don t have to worry about it harming the hydraulic system d.j anderson western enterprises i like the optimax 3000 flashlight it s easy to use cordless cool to the touch and can be carried easily mike pile gps america
