Leak detection kit reveals oil-based fluid

Aug. 16, 2012
Spectronics Corp., Westbury, N. Y., introduced its OPK-341 industrial leak detection kit, an effective and efficient way to pinpoint the exact source of all fluid leaks in hydraulic equipment, compressors, engines, gearboxes, fuel, and other synthetic and petroleum-based industrial systems.

At the core of the kit is the Optimax 3000 — a cordless, rechargeable, super-powerful blue light LED inspection flashlight. It’s 15 times brighter than a standard LED flashlight and has an inspection range of up to 20 ft (6.1 m). Powered by a rechargeable NiMH battery, the flashlight has an LED life of 50,000 hr.

Also included in the kit is a 16 oz (473 ml) twin-neck bottle of patented Oil-Glo 44 concentrated fluorescent oil dye, which is compatible with all synthetic and petroleum-based fluids.  When a leaking industrial system is scanned with the Optimax 3000 flashlight, the dye glows brightly to reveal the precise location of the leaks.
Rounding out the kit is an 8 oz  (237 ml) spray bottle of Glo-away dye cleaner, AC and DC chargers, dye treatment tags, and fluorescence-enhancing glasses. All components are packed in a rugged carrying case.
