New kit finds fluid leaks

By General Aviation News Staff · September 3, 2015 ·

The Spectroline MLK-35A MAXIMA Leak Detection Kit pinpoints the source of leaks in hydraulic, engine oil and aircraft fuel systems.

The kit features the MAXIMA ultraviolet lamp and an 8 ounce bottle of Aero-Brite universal fluorescent dye, which locates all leaks in petroleum- and synthetic-based aviation fluid systems.

SpectrolineThe MAXIMA lamp’s Micro Discharge Light (MDL) technology delivers up to 10 times the UV-A output of conventional High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps. It’s so powerful it can be used in direct sunlight, according to company officials, who note that means it works for outdoor inspections on tarmacs and in open hangars.

In addition to the lamp and dye, kits contain UV-absorbing glasses, fluorescence-enhancing glasses and an 8 ounce spray bottle of GLO-AWAY dye cleaner, all packed in a carrying case.
