7 EXECUTION TECHNIQUE Add : Surface irregularities, including cap welds,

inhibiting accurate interpretation of the specified
method of NDE shall be ground smooth
7.1 Surface preparation
The surface of the part to be examined may be prepared with mechanical means,
such as soft bristle brushing, grinding, etc.
For stainless steels and Ni alloys, brush bristles shall be of stainless steel and not
previously used on other steels.
The surface to be examined and the adjoining zone having a min. width of 25 mm
shall be dry and free from dirt, grease, oil, scales, welding spatters and any alien
substances and surface irregularity which might affect the detection of unacceptable
discontinuities.
Sandblasting and shot peening are critical as cleaning means without further
treatments.
In any case, the surface to be treated shall be cleaned with a solvent and let dry
before applying the dye penetrant.
Drying is usually accomplished by exposure to ambient temperature. If required,
forced hot air or other method may be used to warm the part for drying.

7.2 Temperature requirements

The temperature of the penetrant and the surface of the part to be processed shall not
be bellow 5 °C nor above 52 °C throughout the examination period.
Local heating or cooling is permitted the part temperature remains in the range of 5°C
to 52 °C during the examination.
Where it is not practical to comply with these temperature limitations, other
temperature may be used, provided the procedures are qualified as per ASME Code:
Section V -Article 6 - Par. T-653.
Testing out of 5 Deg C TO 52 Deg C range is not permitted
for this purchase order.

7.3 Application of the penetrating fluid

The surface to be examined shall be carefully wetted with the liquid penetrant.
The penetrant may be brush applied or sprayed.
As a rule, the liquid penetrant shall remain on the surface under examination for at
least 5 minutes and no more than 30 minutes, and it shall not become dry during the
penetration period.
Variations may be allowed, if the observance of temperature limits and penetration
times should prove impossible.
Variations shall be agreed on and their suitability demonstrated each time with
practical tests and substantiated by documents.
Water washable penetratnt removal method not
7.4 Excess Penetrant Removal permitted for this purchase order

7.4.1 Removal of the penetrating fluid

Immediately after completion of penetration time, the excess fluid shall be removed by
means of wet clothes or a 45° inclined moderate water jet (max. pressure 2.1 kg/cm2).
Warm water can be used to facilitate the removal, provided that its temperature does
not exceed 43°C.
For Ni alloys and stainless steels, water should contain no more than 30/60 ppm of
chlorides.

7.4.2 Solvent Removable type

The excess fluid shall be removed as follows:
First of all as much fluid as possible shall be removed by means of clean rags or
blotting paper, and then eliminates the rest with solvent soaked rags.
To ascertain the removal of the penetrating fluid, the part can be rubbed off with clean
white rag.
Flushing the surface with solvent, following the application of the penetrant and prior
to developing, is prohibited.

7.5 Drying after the removal of the liquid penetrant

After the removal of the liquid penetrant, the surface of the part shall be dried with
clean cloths or warm air blowing, but the temperature of the part shall not exceed
52°C.
Drying the surface is not necessary for the solvent washable type.
However it is advisable to dry the surface for one minute preceded by a rubbing
with clean cloth.

7.6 Application of the developer Minimum Developer Dwell time is required 10 minutes

The developer shall be applied only when the surface has dried, by spraying or
with a soft brush, according to the recommendations of the manufacturer (e.g., in
case of pressurized cans, these shall be vigorously shaken before use).
SARPI Page 10 of 12
Replace : Excess solvent removable penetrants shall be removed by wiping with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth or absorbent
paper, repeating the operation until most traces of penetrant have been removed. The remaining traces shall be removed by
wiping the surface with cloth or absorbent paper, lightly moistened with solvent. To minimize removal of penetrant
from discontinuities, care shall be taken to avoid the use of excess solvent.

Revision A

If the developer is of the "dry" type, it may be applied by means of a small rubber
pump.
The application shall be so carried out as to obtain a thin and uniform layer.
The examination of the possible indications shall be performed as soon as the
developer has dried and the judgment of the indications shall not be evaluated
before 10 minutes and after 30 minutes.

7.7 Interpretation of the results of the examination

The area under inspection shall be illuminated by natural or artificial light,
adequate to interpret the results clearly.
The discontinuity is generally revealed by a red, linear or roundish indication on
the white background of the surface formed by the developer.
If the surface under examination appears too pink or white, this means that the
removal of the excess fluid has been unsatisfactory. In this case, the examination
shall be repeated.
Acceptance criteria will be as per ASME B31.3
7.8 Acceptability criteria
No defects such as cracks, porosity, cold laps, etc. are allowed and shall be
recorded and reported to the CONTRACTOR/COMPANY.
 No cracks, No lack of penetration, No arc strikes, No lack of complete fusion, gaps
of any width and any length between weld beads or no other surface defects are
acceptable.
 All cracks and fissures and circular defects greater than 1/16 th inch (1.5 mm)
diameter in weld overlay shall be removed. Repaired areas shall be 100%
reinspected by PT.
Add : Repair work can be started only after approved repair
7.9 Removal of discontinuities procedure by Petrofac & COMPANY.

The indications that exceed the aforementioned acceptability limits shall be

removed by suitable means, and, whenever necessary, repaired by welding.
The repaired zones shall be re-examined by means of liquid penetrant according
to the already described modalities.

7.10 Qualification of the personnel

The personnel who perform the examination with penetrating fluids shall be
qualified at least as level I according to the prescriptions ASNT/SNT-TC-1A or
equivalent standard.
The personnel, who interpret the test results, shall be qualified as level II or level
III.
A qualification certificate for each examiner shall be valid and available at site
