10 Question PT quiz

1. When performing a liquid penetrant test using solvent removable visible dye penetrant one method listed
below is generally regarded as most suitable for giving accurate test results?

Squirting solvent over the surface with no more than 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure.

Wiping with a soaking wet cloth, then wiping with a dry cloth.

Wiping with a solvent dampened cloth, then wiping with dry cloths.

Wiping with dry paper wipes, then wiping with a solvent dampened cloth, and finally wiping with dry cloth.

2. Which of the following is a purpose of the drying process used in penetrant testing?

The drying proceslis used to assure that all excess penetrant will evaporate

The drying process assures the uniform drying of dry developer applied over a wet emulsifier.

The drying process reduces penetration time.

After the application of a wet developer, the drying process aids in securing a uniform developer coating.

3. Which of the following is a discontinuity that might be found in rolled plate stock?

Shrinkage cracks.

Inclusions.

Forginglaps.

Blow holes.

4. Fluorescent materials used in fluorescent penetrants respond most actively to radiant energy, of a
wavelength of approximately:

700nm

3650nm

365 nm

1000 lux

5. When penetrant testing for shallow discontinuities using a post emulsification penetrant, the
emulsification time should be long enough to:

Mix the emulsifier with the excess surface penetrant only.

Mix the emulsifier with all the penetrant on the surface and in discontinuities.

Mix the emulsifier with penetrant in the discontinuities.

Allow the emulsifier to thy out to a white powder.

6. Which of the following discontinuities are all castings discontinuities?

stringers, cold shuts, laminations, hot tears

cold shuts, bursts, hot tears, laps

 hot tears, cold shuts, inclusions, porosity

inclusions, porosity, laminations, shrinkage

7. The emulsifier is used:

To wash the penetrant out of discontinuities.

As an aid in washing off the surface of parts when using either the water or oil soluble penetrants.

To emulsify the oil-soluble penetrant, thereby making it water-washable.

To preclean parts before applying penetrant.

8. Sensitiviy of the inspection may be reduced with water-washable fluorescent penetrant by

over washing

light leaks

over developing

All of the above

9. Prior to penetrant testing of a soft metal part, which of the following cleaning methods would best remove
any smeared metal?

etching

shot peening

detergent cleaning

vapour degreasing

10. Cast grey iron would be inspected using what inspection technique:

dual sensitivity penetrant

solvent removable

post-emulsifiable

water washable
