1. SCOPE
‘This specification details the procedure to perform.a colour contrast and fluorescent liquid penetrant
‘examination of materials and welds to be used in power boiler steam generator construction.
2." APPLICABILITY.
24
23
The liquid penetrant method to be used shall full comply with the techniques described in
‘ASME code Sect. 'V Article 6 "Liquid penetrant examination", with ASME 831.1 and with
the additional requirements of this specification,
This. specification shall be used to perform, a liquid penitrant examination of tubes,
forgings, plates, weld edge preparation, formed materials welds, either in carbon. Low
alloy, ‘high ‘alloy and. nickel alloy materials Examination. shall. be performed whenever
fequired by the applicable Quality Control Plan (PCQ) and/or specification.
For paitioular production job, liquid penetrant examination shall be performed according
{o the applicable "Operative procedure" referencing the present spec. anid giving at least:
~ the materials shapes, or sizes to be examined, and the extent of the examination;
type (number. or. letter designation if available) of éach penetrant, penetrant
remover, emulsifier. and developer,
+ _ processing details for pre-examination cleaning and drying, including the cleaning
‘matefials Used and minimum time allowed for drying; :
~ processing details for applying the penetrant the. length of time that the penietrant
‘will remain on the surface (dwell.time), and the temperature of the surface and
‘Penetrant during the éxamination if outsidé 50°F (10°C) to 125°F (62°C) range;
= processing details for removing excess penetrant from the surface, and for drying
the surface before applying the developer;
= «processing details for applying the developer, and length of developing time before
interpretation;
+ processing detaiis for post-examinaition clerining.
