PT is a nondestructive means of locating surface discontinuitie: or capillary action. based on capillarity PT is one of the most widely used nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods. PT can be used to inspect almost any material provided that its! extremely rough or porous. Materials that are commonly inspected using PT include the fol surface is not owing: metals (aluminum, copper, steel, titanium, ete.), glass, many ceramic materials | molded rubber, plastics. It can be applied in a large variety of applications ranging from automotive spark plugs to critical aircraft components. Penetrant material can be applied with a spray can or it can be i quickly inspect large areas. applied by dipping to PT is used to inspect of flaws that break the surface. Some of these flaws are: fatigue cracks, quench cracks, grinding cracks, impact fractures, Japs, seams and pin holes in welds. Jan 2008 OoiET o PENETRANT TESTING — Lesson 1 Common uses of PT Plant Engineering Construction Pte Ltd. 2.0 Advantages Penetrant Testing | The method has high sensitive to small surface discontinuities. | Metallic and nonmetallic, magnetic and nonmagnetic, and con juctive and nonconductive materials may be inspected. Large areas and large volumes of parts/materials can be inspected rapidly and at low cost. Parts with complex geometric shapes are routinely inspected. Indications are produced directly on the surface of the part. a Aerosol spray cans make penetrant materials very portable. Penetrant materials and associated equipment are relatively inexpensive. 3.0 Disadvantages Penetrant Testing Only surface breaking defects can be detected. Nonporous surface cannot be inspected. Precleaning is critical as contaminants can mask defects.

Soap and water are used to remove any penetrant materials that have come in contact with the skin. 9.3 Air pollution. Dust and vapors from materials used in liquid penetrant testing are nontoxic but inhalation of excessive amounts can be a health hazard. To avoid unhealthful concentrations of developer powder in the atmosphere, exhaust fans are installed in confined space area where dry developers are used.
