Spectroline ALK-365 is a complete kit for finding leaks in aviation fuel, lubrication, and hydraulic systems and works with all petroleum- and synthetic-based lubricants and fluids. The kit prevents expensive equipment breakdown and potential safety hazards, officials say.
At the heart of the ALK-365 kit is the cordless and rechargeable OPTIMAX 365 UV LED leak detection flashlight engineered with ultra-hi-flux LED technology. The flashlight is four times brighter than other high-intensity UV lamps, according to company officials.
The kit includes an 8 ounce (237 ml) bottle of Aero-Brite universal fluorescent dye, which pinpoints the exact location of all aviation fluid leaks by a bright yellow/green glow. Rounding out the kit is an 8 ounce (237 ml) bottle of GLO-AWAY dye cleaner, smart AC and DC chargers, rubber lamp protector, a belt holster, and UV-absorbing glasses. All components are packed in a soft carrying case.
Spectronics Corp., headquartered in Westbury, N.Y., manufactures ultraviolet equipment and fluorescent dyes, including lamps, dyes, radiometers, and diagnostic tools are built to exacting standards.
