Magnaflux NDT Consumables for Aerospace Inspection
Zyglo® fluorescent penetrants from Level 2 to Level 4, the developer, emulsifier and UV lamp to run them, fluorescent magnetic particle powder and baths, visible dry-method particles, and Ultragel® II ultrasonic couplant. Every consumable carries the English and Spanish safety data sheets and Magnaflux's data sheet — so the part number you need is one click from the cart.
Zyglo® Penetrants, Level 2 to Level 4
Four Magnaflux fluorescent penetrants, each listed with the Type, Method and Sensitivity Level from its product data sheet so you can match it to the callout in your procedure.
Zyglo® ZL-60D — Level 2, Water Washable
- Type 1 · Fluorescent
- Method A · Water Washable
- Method C · Solvent Removable
- Level 2 · Medium Sensitivity
- Built for rough surfaces — Magnaflux developed ZL-60D for rough machined parts: it washes off quickly and leaves less fluorescent background, so indications read cleaner on castings and forgings
- Alloy compatible — Magnaflux states it is safe on most engineering and aerospace materials, including aluminum, steel, nickel and titanium
- Specification coverage — Magnaflux lists ZL-60D on the QPL SAE AMS 2644 Qualified Product List, and lists AMS 2644, ASTM E1417, ISO 3452-2, ASME BPVC and OEM specifications on the product data sheet

- Method B, C & D
- Level 3 · High Sensitivity
Post-emulsifiable ZL-27A is a Level 3, high-sensitivity Type 1 penetrant designed for inspections which require maximum process control and reliability.
Zyglo® ZL-56 — Level 4, Water Washable
- Type 1
- Method A & C
- Level 4 · Ultra-High Sensitivity
ZL-56 fluorescent water-washable penetrant is safe for use on alloys in engineering and aerospace use.
Developer, Emulsifier & UV Lamp
Zyglo® ZP-4D Dry Powder Developer
- Form a · Dry Powder
- Methods A–D
ZP-4D is a dry powder developer for form A penetrant testing that is ideal for highly sensitive fluorescent penetrant processes.
Zyglo® ZR-10E Hydrophilic Emulsifier
- Hydrophilic
- Method D Remover
ZR-10E minimizes surface background during Method D fluorescent penetrant testing while protecting indication integrity.
EV6000 Hand-Held LED UV Lamp
- UV-A · 365 nm
- 9 in Beam
The EV6000 LED UV lamp is a portable, hand-held UV lamp for fluorescent non-destructive testing applications like fluorescent penetrant testing and fluorescent magnetic particle inspections.
Type, Method, Level — What the Spec Is Asking For
Magnaflux's data sheet identifies every penetrant by Type, Method and Sensitivity Level, and the first tip in their process guide is “Check required specifications before beginning penetrant inspection.” Match all three to the callout in your procedure.
Type — how you inspect
- Type 1
- Fluorescent — inspect under a UV lamp
- Type 2
- Nonfluorescent (visible) — inspect in a well-lit environment
Method — how you remove it
- Method A
- Water wash
- Method B
- Post emulsifiable, lipophilic emulsifier
- Method C
- Solvent removable
- Method D
- Post emulsifiable, hydrophilic emulsifier
Sensitivity Level — the Zyglo® range
- Level ½
- ZL-15B
- Level 1
- ZL-19, ZL-425
- Level 2
- ZL-60D, ZL-440, ZL-150, ZL-2C — medium sensitivity
- Level 3
- ZL-67, ZL-27A
- Level 4
- ZL-56, ZL-37
Each penetrant's Type, Method and Level are from its Magnaflux Product Data Sheet: ZL-60D (rev. July 2023), ZL-67 (rev. June 2021), ZL-27A (rev. July 2023) and ZL-56 (rev. April 2022). Method definitions and the Zyglo range by level are from Magnaflux's Penetrant Testing Process Guide.
