B Surface Preparation, Cleaning & Dry* Times ... 5 Minute Minimum Drying Time Required
The surface to be inspected is in the as-welded condition.
Note: Surface SAEP-1145,
B1
preparation by grinding, machining, or other methods may be used if Para. 4.7.1
surface condition could mask indications of defects.
In the event that a mechanical method of cleaning (e.g., grinding,
machining, wire brushing and sanding) is necessary, it may be SAEP-1145,
B2
necessary to acid etch the surface prior to penetrant examination. Para. 4.7.1
(Refer to ASME SEC V, Article 24, SE-165.)

Welds or areas to be examined & 1 inch on either side of the weld or

area, shall be dry and free of all dirt, grease, lint, scale, weld spatter, SAEP-1145,
B3
welding flux, paint, oil & any other matl that could obscure surface Para. 4.7.2
openings or otherwise interfere with the exam. (25mm rule)

Cleaning of surface is done using the approved cleaning solvent.

Note: Cleaning agents are detergents, organic solvents, descaling SAEP-1145,
B4
solutions and other paint removers. UT and degreasing methods may Para. 4.7.3
also be used to clean surfaces prior to examination.

Following pre-cleaning, evaporation time of cleaners shall be 5 (Five)

minutes minimum. Note:Where indications of retained moisture exist, SAEP-1145,
B5
evaporation time shall be increased until no evidence of moisture in Para. 4.8
test areas can be detected. 5 MINUTE DRY TIME!

The minimum and maximum temperatures of the penetrant and

surface to be tested depends on the type of penetrant used. The
SAEP-1145,
B6 permissible test surface temperature for Penetrant Testing is 50° to
Para. 5.1
125°F (10° to 52°C).Calibrated surface thermometer or digital
pyrometer used

Intermixing of penetrant materials from different manufacturers is not

SAEP-1145,
C2 permitted. Manufacturer's recommendation for compatible penetrant
Para. 4.4.2
systems shall be followed.
Penetrant is applied either by dipping, brushing or spraying.
Extreme caution is taken to prevent
SAEP-1145,
C3 overspray & fouling of sensitive equipment and components.
Para. 5.2
Good Workmanship!

Dwell time (length of time the penetrant must remain on the part to
allow proper penetration) shall be as recommended by Penetrant
manufacturer. If manufacturers' recommendations are not available,
SAEP-1145, Table 1 shall be used [See Attachment 1].
Note: Select dwell times carefully. Although Table 1 lists various
recommended dwell times, some circumstances may exist where the
required dwell times are significantly greater. For example, one
manufacturer recommends a dwell time of 240 minutes for detection SAEP-1145,
C4 of stress corrosion cracking. Where dwell times exceed 20 minutes, Para. 5.3
additional penetrant must be applied at least every 20 minutes or as
needed to keep the surface wet. If the penetrant is allowed to dry
during the examination the part must be recleaned and the entire
examination repeated. Check the Mfg data sheet!

D Removal of Excess Penetrant & Drying Time

WATER WASHABLE: Excess penetrant can be removed by coarse

SAEP-1145,
water spray with pressure not exceeding 50 psi & water temp not
Para. 5.4.3
exceeding 110°F. A nozzle specifically designed (droplet sprayer) for
D1 &
this application shall be used in lieu of a typical garden nozzle.
App.III
Great care shall be given to avoid over washing
(Procedure B1)
test areas.
When drying surfaces after excess penetrant removal, ensure the
SAEP-1145,
shortest time possible occurs between the penetrant removal and
Para. 5.5.1 &
developer application steps, but not to exceed 30 minutes.
D2
Surfaces may be dried by blotting or
Para. 5.5.3
circulating air. Typical Procedure
(Procedure)
time is 2 - 5 minutes.

E Developing (Wet Developers ONLY with Color Contrast Penetrant Method SAEP-1145, Para. 5.6.1)

Developers shall be lightly applied. It is OK to add additional

SAEP-1145,
E1 developer to aide in interpretation, as needed. If it is necessary to
Section 5.6
remove developer determined to be excessive, tests are restarted.
Color contrast LPT uses:
A) Only a wet developer (Water based or solvent based) SAEP-1145,
E2
B) Thoroughly Section 5.6
agitated prior to application.
Nonaqueous (solvent based) Developer is applied only to a dry
SAEP-1145,
E3 surface (sprayed at spray at 250mm to 300mm (10" to 12") from the
Section 5.6
surface. Drying shall be by normal evaporation.

Water Based Developer may be applied to either a wet or dry

SAEP-1145,
surface & may be applied by dipping, spraying, immersion, etc.
Section 5.6
Note 1: The surface shall be flooded and allowed
E4 & Appendix 1
to dry. Note 2: Drying time may be
accelerated with warm air provided surface temps does not exceed
(Procedure)
maximum allowed. (125 F or 52C)

F Lighting Requirements (Color Contrast Methods)

SAEP-1145,
Visible penetrant indications can be examined in either natural or
Section 5.7
artificial white light. Adequate illumination is required to ensure no
loss of sensitivity of the examination. It is recommended that,
F1 ASME Section
wherever possible, white light intensity levels be maintained at 100
V
ftc (1076 lux) or greater. The minimum permissible light intensity at
the examination site is 32.5 ftc (350 lux).
T676.3

G Interpretation/Evaluation ... Utilize Attachment 1

SAEP-1145,
G1 Final interpretation is within 7 to 30 mins of applying the developer.
Para. 5.8.1

All indications shall be evaluated in accordance with referencing

Code or Specification. These shall be on site & available at all times. SAEP-1145,
G2
Note: For Code Para. 6.1
Acceptance Criteria, See Attachment 1.

Any indication that is believed to be nonrelevant shall be regarded as

relevant until re-examined to verify whether or not an actual
discontinuity is present. Note: Machine marks, surface roughness,
SAEP-1145,
G3 mechanical conditions & other surface conditions can cause or
Para. 6.2
produce false indications. Supervising Inspectors shall allow
supplemental method of NDT by following the appropriate SAIC
for common repairs (grinding to remove indications).

Broad areas of pigmentation that mask indications of discontinuities

are unacceptable and require corrective action by cleaning or other
SAEP-1145,
G4 suitable means of surface preparation as described herein.The Area
Para. 6.3
must be re-tested.This is overlooked by vast majority of NDE Techs
(rushing work).

Interpretation of indications found & determined to be rejectable are

based on the apparent size of the indication as follows:
A) Linear indications - length is greater SAEP-1145,
G5
than three x width. B) Rounded indications - Para. 6.4
circular or elliptical in shape with length equal to or less than
three times the width.

Findings & Results of Liquid Penetrant Tests are documented in the SAEP-1145,
F6
SATR-NDE-2002 (modified SA Form 4719 or SAEP-1145 App VIII). Para. 6.5

H Post Cleaning

Post cleaning shall be performed on all components that have been

PT tested. Suitable cleaning techniques include machine wash, vapor
degreasing, solvent soak and ultrasonic cleaning. Caution shall be
SAEP-1145,
H1 exercised to remove all developer prior to vapor degreasing as vapor
Sec. 7
degreasing can bake the developer on parts.
Post cleaned LPT surfaces with residual developer are
identifed for recleaning. Workmanship = Do it right once!
