A Leak Detection System for Pinpoint Inspection of Leak Locations

Fluorescent Dyes for Oil and Water Leaks are special dyes mixed in minute quantities into oil or water to locate the source of a leak. When illuminated with a Ultraviolet light, the dye fluoresces, making the leak location easy to detect.
This technique is utilized across various fields, including equipment maintenance and product inspection.

FEATURE

01 Easy Leak Location	Refrigerant gas leaks, which were previously difficult to find, can now be easily located through visual inspection.
02 Micro-Leak Inspection	Once the fluorescent dye is fully circulated, it can detect micro-leaks as small as approximately 4 grams per year.
03 Multiple Leak Detection	The system allows for the simultaneous discovery of multiple leak locations in a single inspection.
04 Semi-Permanent Effect	The effect of the dye is semi-permanent, lasting until the oil is changed.
05 Environmentally Friendly	Early detection of leaks reduces unnecessary gas recharging, contributing to global environmental preservation.

♦Primary Target Fluids for Inspection

〇Oil Fluorescent Dyes: Hydraulic oil, engine oil, spindle oil, gasoline, light oil (diesel), jet fuel, and various other oils.
〇Water Fluorescent Dyes: Coolant, water-glycol, and various other aqueous solutions.
〇Various Refrigerant Gases, etc.

♦Visibility Based on Oil

*Image details are available in Japanese Only.

Fluorescent Dyes for Various Oils

〇Add a standard concentration of 0.05 to hydraulic fluids (Example: approximately100mL for a 200L tank）
〇For oils that are darker in hue (used/aged oil), increase the concentration to approximately 0.2%.
〇The dye's effect is semi-permanent, lasting until the oil is changed.
〇Numerous safety and performance documents, such as MSDS, along with case studies, are available.

Fluorescent Dyes for Water💧

〇Add a standard concentration of 0.05% to water-glycol. For pure water, add approximately 0.01%
〇Useful for pre-shipment inspection of cutting fluids in machine tools and water-filling tests for tanks.

♦Primary Applications

①Equipment Maintenance：Inspection of oil and water leaks in machine tools and industrial machinery.
Example Objectives: Leakage reduction, 5S implementation, and cleanliness improvement.
②Product Shipment Inspection：Inspection of various components in heavy machinery, construction equipment, machine tools, and industrial machinery (e.g., hydraulic units, engines, injectors, pumps, piping).
Example Objectives: Improvement of inspection accuracy, Value Analysis, reduction of inspection steps, and reduction of inspection time.

♦Usage Procedure (In the case of a Hydraulic System)

1、　Addition
Add the fluorescent dye to the oil tank at a concentration of 0.05％

2、　Circulation
After addition, operate the equipment for half a day to one full day to ensure thorough circulation of the oil and dye.

3、　Inspection
Shine a UV light on the areas suspected of leakage.

4、　Completion
After repairing the leak, clean the area of the fluorescent dye and perform a check again.
