Is this the stainless steel that it's supposed to be? Can I conduct the same quality assurance inspections that my customers use? Can I assume foreign imports are what they claim to be? Is my stock labeled correctly? Inspect it yourself!
APPLICATIONS:
- Inspect tanks, pipes, raw stock, finished parts, and more!
- Confirm Stainless Steels and Nickel Alloys such as SS 316 vs. SS 304 stainless steel with a simple test for moly (molybdenum).
- Identify Inconel and Monel, and other Common Steels
- Pull stock rod SS400 from a pile of SS300 with a one-minute test for nickel.
- Verify an alloy such as Monel by getting a positive test for nickel and copper.
- Some of the many metals that can be identified: (302, 304), (309, 310), (316, 317), 316L, (414, 431), (400 Series), (Monel), (Nickel Silvers), Inconel 600, Inconel 625, Inconel 750, Incoloy 825, Carpenter 20Cb3, (Incoloy 800 Series), Crucible 26-1, Hastelloy 8, Hastelloy C, Hastelloy X, and many others. Alloys in brackets are indistinguishable from each other but can be distinguished from the other alloys in this list.
FEATURES:
- QC inspection approved
- Portable - uses the reliable Electro-Spot Method
- Easy, and only 20 seconds per test.
- Non-destructive NDT
- Most Economical Choice
- Includes supplies for hundreds of tests
- Includes a stamped metal reference standard and an excellent variable current source, the ElectroSpot II
- Built-in auto-timer, the only one of its kind, helpful for differentiating similar alloys by keeping accurate sampling times
- Neatly packaged in a durable, heavy-duty, shock-resistant carrying case
TEST PROCEDURE:
- Place a test paper on your metal
- Place a drop of solution A onto the paper
- Apply current to the moist spot using the Electro-Spot
- Follow with the addition of solution B
- A vibrant color develops, revealing the composition!
HOW IT WORKS:
How can alloy inspection be so easy? Color spot tests isolate and identify the single distinguishing element that separates the alloy you want from the one you don't. No need to file off samples and mail them to a lab. Nickel, chrome, molybdenum, copper, and iron are all easily detectable with the 1499. It's simple.
WHY CHOOSE KOSLOW?
Maintaining the quality your customer's demand doesn't require a fancy or expensive program. Use the spot test kits specified by major companies worldwide to inspect your incoming and outgoing parts and materials. Pharmaceutical & food, aerospace, marine, and medical industries rely on KOSLOW kits for fast, conclusive results.
