Find fuel leaks with new lamp

By Ben Sclair · April 5, 2011 ·

Westbury, New York — The MLK-35A MAXIMA from Spectroline detects the smallest fluid leaks. The UV lamp is bright enough to use in direct sunlight, making it ideal for outdoor inspections on tarmacs and in open hangars.

The lamp kit includes an 8 ozbottle of universal fluorescent dye, which locates all leaks in aircraft fuel and petroleum- and synthetic-based aviation fluid systems. It also contains UV-absorbing glasses, fluorescence-enhancing glasses and an 8 oz spray bottle of dye cleaner.

The MLK-35MA lamp kit is also available with a 12-volt rechargeable battery pack, as well as AC and 12V DC cord sets. The AC charger comes in 120V, 230V 240V or 100V versions.

For more information call toll-free 1-800-274-8888. Outside the United States and Canada, call 516-333-4840. Website at www.spectroline.com.
