Tracer Dyes

Products to detect leaks during pipeline and vessel hydro-tests

M-I SWACO Production Technologies offer water-soluble dyes for detecting leaks during pipeline and vessel hydro-tests. The fluorescent dyes deliver an intense blue-green color when diluted with water, thus allowing visible detection of leakage during hydro-tests. A clear dye is available for sensitive in-shore tests and discharge schemes. This tracer dye is not visible under normal white light and can be detected only under irradiation by tuned UV light.
