AN INTRODUCTION TO THE MET-L-CHEK® COMPANY

Loy Sockman was issued the first U. S. Patent for visible dye penetrants. Sockman founded the Met-L-Chek Company about 1950, becoming the first company in the U. S. to exclusively manufacture penetrant materials.Today Met-L-Chek personnel continue this tradition of innovation. Three chapters in the latest edition of the ASNT penetrant handbook were authored by Met-L-Chek personnel, and these same people hold patents. Together, the president and the general manager of Met-L-Chek have over 60 years of experience in the penetrant field.

Met-L-Chek manufactures a full line of penetrant inspection materials approved under AMS-2644, and by all major prime contractors. Several Met-L-Chek products are the standards specified for conform-ance to AMS-2644. Every batch conforms to the requirements of the military and civilian specifications. These penetrants are used globally by industry and the military. Met-L-Chek also sells magnetic particles, carrier fluid, pre & post inspection cleaning materials, and the popular Infinitex® line of nanofilter units for treating penetrant inspection effluent.
