While speaking to North American Sales Account Manager, Matthew Cowley, he highlighted benefits of the new dye, such as AR-GLO® 5’s ability to fluoresce brighter, its greater resistance to extreme temperature ranges and moisture, and a longer shelf life.
Find Hydraulic Fluid Leaks Quickly and Accurately Every year, millions of gallons of hydraulic fluid are lost – leading to contaminated work areas and cost overruns. Hydraulic equipment cannot operate correctly if fluid levels are low and are not meeting manufacturers’ specifications. If hydraulic leaks persist, equipment will be at risk of mechanical failure. This inevitability…
What’s the real cost of leaking hydraulic fluid? The cost of lost operational fluid can rise into tens of thousands of dollars. Fluid-based systems quickly breakdown, overheat, and fail when there isn’t enough vital, operational fluid. Think about it. When your equipment is stuck in the repair shop, it’s costing you thousands in lost operating revenue. That net revenue includes wages, permits, repair costs, lost working hours, reduced equipment service life – everything.
Know What Works Fluorescent dyes provide the fastest and most accurate leak detection method for AC/R systems. When added to a suspect system, the escaping fluorescent dye exits all leak areas. Exposing the system to violet light causes the dye to fluoresce brightly. Very small leaks can be detected at a distance and technicians can…
