Spectronics Corp. has introduced Aero-Brite Universal Fluorescent Leak Detection Dye to pinpoint the source of fuel, lubrication and hydraulic leaks in aviation systems.
Add a small amount of super-concentrated Aero-Brite dye to the aircraft system and let it circulate, company officials said, explaining the dye/fluid mixture will accumulate at even the smallest leak sites. Scan the area with a Spectroline high-intensity UV inspection lamp and a bright yellow/green glow will show the precise location of every leak.
Aero-Brite dye is specially formulated to work with any fluid. It will not damage the fluid’s properties or any of the system’s components. Aero-Brite allows inspection of the entire system under most operating conditions, including in-flight and static testing. The dye can remain safely in the system as part of a preventive maintenance program, company officials note.
