(1) Fuselage Stations (FS)
(a) The fuselage stations are measured perpendicular to the fuselage center line.
FS0.00 is 144.00 inches (365.76 cm) forward of the nose of the aircraft.
(2) Wing Stations (WS)
(a) The wing stations are measured perpendicular to the wing reference plane and
parallel to the center line of the fuselage.
(3) Horizontal Stabilizer (HS) and Elevator Stations (ES)
(a) The horizontal stabilizer stations are measured perpendicular to the center line
of the horizontal stabilizer rear spar.
(b) The elevator stations are measured perpendicular to the elevator hinge center
line.
(4) Vertical Stabilizer (VS) and Rudder Stations (RS)
(a) The vertical stabilizer stations are measured perpendicular to the center line of
the vertical stabilizer rear−spar.
(b) The rudder stations are measured perpendicular to the rudder center line.
(5) Nacelle (XN) and Pylon Stations (FS)
(a) The nacelle stations are measured perpendicular to the nacelle center line. XN
0.00 is 100.72 inches (255.82 cm) forward of the nacelle nose cowl.

ZONES
1. General
A. Zones are identified for maintenance functions. This data makes it easier to find the
location of work areas and components.
B. The aircraft is divided into eight major zones which have numbers from 100 to 800 in
increments of 100. Each major zone is divided into major subzones and unit zones. For
example, the main landing gear (MLG) is located in Major Zone 700 and the left MLG is
located in Major Subzone 730 and identified as Unit Zone 732.
C. Details related to the zone identification numbers are given in the figures that follow:
(1) Major Zones

Refer to Figure 1.
(a) The aircraft is divided into eight major zones. Each major zone is identified by
the first digit (of the three−digit number) followed by two zeroes.
(2) Major Subzones

(a) Major subzones are subdivisions of the major zones. Each major subzone is
identified by the second digit (of the three−digit number) followed by one zero.
1 Fuselage, Empennage, Landing Gear, and Doors
Refer to Figure 2.
2 Wing, Nacelles and Pylons
Refer to Figure 3.
(3) Unit Zones

(a) Unit zones are subdivisions of the major subzones. EAch unit zone is identified
by the third digit of the three−digit number. If the last digit is an odd number,
then the unit zone describes the left side. If the last digit is an even number,
then the unit zone describes the right side.

ACCESS PROVISIONS
1. General
A. This section uses an alphanumeric code to identify the access doors, panels, and fairings
on the aircraft.
B. To make it easier to find the different access doors, panels, and fairings, the aircraft is
divided into the areas that follow:
− Fuselage
− Doors
− Empennage
− Nacelles and Pylons
− Wing.
2. Identification Method
A. Each access door, panel, and fairing has a two−group identification code that indicates
its position on the aircraft as follows:
(1) A three−digit numeric group identifies the zone where the access doors, panels, and
fairings are located (Refer to Part 1, 51−01−03).
(2) A two−or three−letter group gives the correct position of the access door, panel,
and fairing as follows:
(a) The first letter identifies the general position of the access door, panel, and
fairing on the aircraft. It starts with the letter A" and goes from front to rear and
inboard to outboard.
NOTE: The letters I" and O" are not used.
(b) The second letter identifies the location of the access door, panel, and fairing in
relation to the aircraft as follows:
− T = Top
− B = Bottom
− L = Left side
− R = Right side
− Z = Internal.
(c) An optional third letter is used to further identify floor, wall, or ceiling panels as
follows:
− F = Floor panels
− W = Wall panels
− C = Ceiling panels.

GENERAL INSPECTION DATA
1. General
A. This section contains data about certification of Nondestructive Testing (NDT) personnel,
and the external agents (persons, equipment, and records) who do NDT. Data that relates
to the type of inspection and steps necessary to prepare for the inspection are also
included.
B. The specific inspection procedures for the various NDT methods provide detailed
information and instructions, as shown in Chapter 51 through 57, Part 2 through Part 9, of
this manual.
C. Six main NDT methods are used in this manual:
− Radiography (RT) Part 2
− Ultrasonics (UT) Part 4
− Eddy Current (ET) Part 6
− Magnetic Particle (MPI) Part 7
− Liquid Penetrant (LPI) Part 8
− Visual (VT) Part 9.
NOTE: Other approved NDT methods such as infrared thermography testing (IRT)
and shearography testing (ST) may be considered based on the defect
type, location, size and inspection purpose.
D. For additional data that is necessary to do the NDT inspection, refer to the following
manuals:
− Nondestructive Testing Manual (NDTM), Part 1 General Information
− Structural Repair Manual (SRM)
− Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM).
2. Approvals
A. Certification of NDT Personnel

(1) Each person who makes an inspection on an aircraft or its components must be
certified to a NDT Standard approved by the National Airworthiness Authority (NAA).
The following are examples of Certification and Qualification of NDT Personnel
Standards, that may be acceptable to the NAA:
− NAS 410 (NAS) National Aerospace Standard
− SNT−TC−1A (see NOTE) (ASNT) American Society for Nondestructive Testing
− CAN/CGSB 48.9712 (CGSB) Canadian General Standards Board
− ISO 9712 (ISO) International Organization for Standardization
− EN 473 (EN) European NDT Standard
− EN 4179 (EN) European NDT Standard
51−20−01 Oct 10/20
CRJ200
− ATA Spec 105 (A4A) Airlines for America

NOTE: Recommended practice from ASNT.
(2) Individuals certified to Level II or III in the method that is to be done can perform and
approve the inspection. Level I inspectors certified in the method can perform the
inspection under direct supervision of a certified Level II or Level III in the method
being done. The certified Level II or III supervisor for the Level I must take full
responsibility for the interpretation and evaluation of the inspection results, and for
the approval of the task documentation.
B. External Agents Who Do NDT Inspection

External agents who supply NDT work must have the correct approvals. As a minimum,
the following conditions must be met:
− Applicable equipment, calibration standards and approved procedures
− Acceptable test records of equipment calibration and part inspection
− Certified NDT personnel
− A Quality Control program to monitor system performance.
3. Selection of NDT Method

A. To determine the most suitable NDT method to use for inspection, the following conditions
must be considered but not limited by:
− Material (composition and heat treat condition)
− Part Access
− Location and type of defect
− Surface finish condition
− Geometric form
− Cost and time.

X−RAY
1. General
A. X−ray is a nondestructive testing method that is used to examine metallic and nonmetallic
components and assemblies. X−ray nondestructive testing procedures are used to
locate internal discontinuities in aircraft structures such as a wing box, fuselage
empennage weldments, castings and bonded panels.
NOTE: If there is a conflict between this Part 1 − General Information and the specific
procedure in Part 2 of this Manual (NDTM), the specific procedure takes
precedence.
2. Source of X−ray
Refer to Figure 1.
A. X−rays is electromagnetic−radiation. An X−ray unit includes a power supply, a control
panel and vacuum X−ray tube in which electrons are accelerated toward a tungsten
target. When the electrons strike the tungsten target X−rays are produced.
3. Basic set−up of Radiography

Refer to Figure 2.
A. Place the part or area that is to be inspected between the X−ray tube and the
radiographic film in a light proof cassette. The radiation is allowed to penetrate the whole
part or section in straight lines for a predetermined period in order, to produce an
adequate density and image on the film.
4. Imaging by Film
Refer to Figure 3.
A. X−ray film is the prime detector medium for industrial radiography. The film is a thin
transparent, tough polyester. The radiographic film is usually double coated with a layer
of X−ray emulsion on either side of the film. Radiation penetrates through both layers,
which gives rise to a composite radiographic image.
B. Incident radiation effects radiographic film by being selectively absorbed depending on
the geometric shape and specific thickness of the object. Radiation emerging from the
specimen contains a shadow image of the specimen which on penetrating the film
sensitizes the emulsion layers and produces a latent image. When the film is developed
this latent image becomes a visible radiograph which on chemical fixing becomes a
permanent record. Refer to radiographic film section Table 1 and Table 2.
C. Radiographs are viewed on bright screen viewers. Refer to ASTM 1742 for film viewer
requirements.
NOTE: The type of film selected must obtain the optimum sensitivity. To obtain
optimum results the film must meet the two percent minimum sensitivity
requirements.

51−20−02 Oct 10/20

5. Material Density
A. The subject contrast is affected by the density (mass per unit volume) of the material
being examined and the density of the discontinuities in the material. This in turn affects
the radiographic contrast. For example, a more dense inclusion such as a piece of
tungsten in a weld has a greater contrast with its background than if the inclusion was
copper or steel. A gas void or sand inclusion of the same size and shape will have
different degrees of contrast with the background density.
6. Exposure Control
A. The exposure time depends on the following factors:
− Tube current intensity in milliamper
− Penetrating power in kilovoltage
− Time the tube is energized
− Thickness and density of the part
− Tube film distance is governed by distance between tube and part (Refer to Figure 4)
− Film type.
7. Equipment and Accessories Required

A. Equipment and accessories that are required are as follows:
− X−ray unit MG 160 Philips portable or equivalent
− Kodak radiograph film, single M film, or double film technique with other film either, T or
AA or equivalent
− Appropriate penetrameters
− X−ray densitometer
− Survey meter
− Lead screens, (if required)
− Magnifiers must be available to provide magnification between 3X and 10X to aid in
interpretation and determine indication size as applicable
− Dark room facilities, including equipment and materials, must be capable of producing
uniform radiographs free of blemishes or artifacts, which may interfere with
interpretation in the area of interest.
NOTE: A test exposure must be performed before commencing to verify if the film
meets density and sensitivity requirements, Refer to ASTM E 1724.

51−20−02 Oct 10/20
CRJ200
8. Radiographic procedure
A. The procedure must contain the following basic information:
NOTE: Refer to the specific procedure in Part 2 of this manual.
(1) Set−up sketch showing film placement and tube angle.
(2) The technique sheet which is part of the procedure containing the following
information:
− Pentameter (if any), Refer to Figure 5
− Film types
− Time, mill amperage, kilovoltage and tube, film. focal distance etc.
− Identification on the radiograph may be traced to the component being inspected.
B. Preparation
(1) In order to position the X−ray for correct shooting alignment, or to place film in the
area to be inspected, panels or components may have to be removed.
(2) When an X−ray tube is positioned on an upper wing, a protection mat must be
placed on the wing to protect the wing from damage.
9. Calibration Standard
A. The surveymeter and densitometer must be calibrated annually by MHIRJ using
documented procedures.
10. Safety Requirements for Radiation Protection

Refer to safety code 27, (Health and Welfare Canada).
NOTE: When working in other countries state and federal requirements must be met.
A. Safety requirements for radiation protection must meet Code 27
− Requirements for industrial X−ray equipment usage and installation
− Code 27 is used as a guide to prevent over exposure of the general public and
radiation workers to radiation.
11. Limitation of X−ray Method

A. Since the defects are contained in the hard−to−reach structural members or
components, it may be very difficult to place the penetrameter at the appropriate location,
making the best radiographic sensitivity hard to achieve. Often the best available guide to
sensitivity is the structure itself. If, for example, it is possible to differentiate between
components of different thickness, this may be used effectively as a measure of sensitivity.
It is important to remember that radiographs of airframes, which normally possess high
contrast are, for this reason, very deceptive when evaluating the sensitivity obtained. It is
easy to be optimistic in considering what can be successfully accomplished with
radiography. Fatigue cracks in large fittings, for example, should never be investigated by
means of radiography. They are normally too small to be located by this method.
B. When determining a radiographic technique for the inspection of a definite
aircraft−structure−failure area a surface indication such as a crack, when confirmed
visually, becomes the most efficient penetrameter. Knowledge gained may be used as
future reference for similar work.
51−20−02 Oct 10/20
CRJ200
C. Knowledge of the factors that determine the quality of radiograph enables us to predict
fairly accurately where radiography is useful and where it cannot be used to any great
advantage.
(1) The first obvious limitation is the thickness of the part being radiographed.
(2) The second limitation is the configuration of the part, which may not permit close
positioning of the film to the part. A complex shape may produce an excessive
amount of scattered radiation.
D. Radiography cannot normally detect crack−like discontinuities unless the plane of the
crack parallels the radiation beam as shown in Figure 6. Crack (a) will show on the film,
crack (b) will not show on the film because the beam traverses only its thickness that is
less than the limit of sensitivity normally attained by radiography. i.e., approximately one
percent. Crack (c) will show as a broad, slightly darker image on the film and may be very
difficult to detect.
E. When in−service aircraft are examined for cracks, only the area of the film, or part that
falls within a 10 degree cone of radiation can be considered valid for interpretation, Refer
to ASTM E 1742.

12. Construction of Radiographic Films

Refer to Figure 3.
A. Radiographic films consist of a transparent, flexible base of clear cellulose derivative or
similar material. Both sides of the base are coated with a light sensitive emulsion of silver
halide suspended in gelatin. The silver halide is distributed throughout the emulsion as
minute crystals, and when exposed to radiation such as X−rays, gamma rays or visible
light, the physical structure is changed. Due to its nature this change cannot be detected
by ordinary physical methods. It is referred to as the hidden or latent image." When the
exposed film is treated with a developer solution a reaction takes place which causes the
formation of very fine ribbons or black metallic silver. This silver, suspended in the
hardened gelatin on both sides of the base, that constitutes the radiographic image.

1. General
Ultrasonic inspection method is capable of detecting or measuring the following types of
condition in most materials:
− Surface and subsurface cracks
− Damage caused by corrosion, such as measure thickness
− Welding type defects
− Thickness of different plies of bonded parts including ply thickness of laminated parts
− Presence of delamination in a bonded structure.
procedure in Part 4 of this Manual (NDTM), the specific procedure takes precedence.
2. Principle of Operation
A. General
(1) Ultrasonic waves are mechanical vibrations that propagate into an elastic substance.
The ultrasonic method uses propagation of sound waves at high frequency that are
generated from a transducer which transmits the ultrasonic waves into a medium.
The sound energy is received either by the same transducer (pulse−echo method)
or by a second transducer (through−transmission method). At high frequencies, the
sound waves cannot propagate through gases, such as the ambient air, but they can
propagate through liquids and solids. Reflection of the ultrasonic waves occurs at
defects and part interfaces. Discontinuities in the path of a sound beam or surface
boundaries cause the sound to be reflected. This change of sound pattern is
monitored and recorded on a digital display, a chart recorder, or more commonly, on
a cathode ray tube (CRT) display. Usually, the transducers utilize the piezoelectric
effect. Some transducers may instead utilize the magnetostriction effect at lower
frequencies. The range of frequencies used are from 500 kHz to 25 Mhz, but
common usage is from one MHz to 10 MHz.
NOTE: One MHz = 106 cycles per second.
B. Generation of Ultrasonic Waves

(1) An ultrasonic test instrument (generator) supplies high frequency alternating current
to a transducer through a coaxial cable. The piezoelectric transducer changes the
alternating current into mechanical vibrations (ultrasonic waves) of the same
frequency via the piezoelectric effect. The same transducer has the capability to
convert sound waves back into alternating current.
(2) The ultrasonic test instrument amplifies the signal and displays it on a CRT display in
a form of a vertical deflection signal above a horizontal baseline.
(3) A couplant medium is required for transmission of ultrasound into the test object.
Common couplants in use include grease, gel, oil, glycerin or water.
(4) When the through−transmission method is utilized, two transducers are used, one
transducer transmits the sound and the other transducer receives the sound energy
and will convert it into pulses of alternating current.
51−20−04 Oct 10/20
CRJ200
C. Ultrasonic Waves Behavior

(1) The speed of propagation of the sound, or sound velocity, varies from material to
material. The velocity of the sound is a characteristic property of each material and it
is constant at any given frequency (except for the Lamb waves). The velocity of the
sound waves in any medium is equal to the product of its wavelength and frequency.
There are four main modes of propagation: longitudinal, transverse, surface and
Lamb. Longitudinal and transverse waves are the most commonly utilized.
(2) The longitudinal waves have the highest velocity and they can propagate into any
medium (solids, liquids and gases). They are the most utilized for straight beam
testing.
(3) The transverse waves cannot travel through liquids or gasses and their velocities are
approximately half of the longitudinal velocity in the same solid medium. They are
mainly used to test welds, tubes, pipes and for any angle beam testing.
(4) Surface waves can follow the surface contour of a part and their velocities are close
to 90% of the transverse velocities in the same medium.
(5) Lamb waves travel through the whole thickness of a thin plate and they fill the entire
thickness of the part. Lamb waves can turn into symmetrical or asymmetrical waves.
(6) When ultrasonic waves meet an interface between two different media, part of the
incident acoustic energy is sent back in the first medium and the rest is transmitted
to the second. The acoustic impedance of the two media determines the degrees of
reflection and transmission. The larger the difference, the lower is the transmission.
The acoustic impedance of a medium equals to the product of its density and the
sound velocity in the medium.
(7) An ultrasonic beam travelling from one medium to another at an angle, other than
perpendicular to the interface, will be refracted, that is to say the direction of
propagation will be changed. The mathematical expression, Snell’s law, defining
that change is: sin θ1 / sin θ2 = V1 / V2, where θ1 is the angle of incidence, θ2 is the
angle of refraction, V1 is the velocity of sound into the first medium and V2 is the
velocity of sound into the second medium. Both θ1 and sin θ2 are measured from
the normal to the interface. Furthermore, in the first medium, the angle of reflection
equals the angle of incidence.
(8) The first critical angle is the angle of incidence that produces a longitudinal refracted
angle of 90% where only the transverse wave is present. The second critical angle is
the angle of incidence that produce a transverse refracted angle of 90% where
neither longitudinal nor transverse wave is present and only a surface wave is
generated. In order to perform an adequate angle beam testing inspection using
only one mode of vibration, the angle of incidence must be between the first and the
second critical angle.

51−20−04 Oct 10/20
CRJ200
(9) The intensity of a sound beam decreases with the increase of the distance to the
transmitter transducer. The decrease is caused by the acoustic impedance, the
absorption (conversion of mechanical energy into thermal energy), the scattering
(lack of homogeneity of matter presenting a boundary between two materials of
different impedance), and the effect of the near field and far field. The near field is
the area located in front of the transducer, just after the dead zone. The near field is
made of fluctuating and complex waves, therefore, the sound beam is not regular in
this area and the sensitivity is not reliable. For this reason, the inspection should not
be done in the near field of a transducer, rather it should be done in the far field. The
distance of the near field is given by the equation: N = (D2 − λ2) / 4λ, where N is the
near field distance, D is the crystal diameter and λ the wavelength.
(10) On the other hand, the sound energy in the far field is more consistent and
decreases exponentially with the distance to the transducer. However, the sound is
also attenuated by the divergence which starts at the beginning of the far field. The
angle of divergence of a given circular transducer is given by the equation:
sin (Φ / 2) = 1.22 x (λ / D), where Φ is the total angle of divergence, λ the wavelength
and D is the crystal diameter.
D. Ultrasonic Equipment
(1) The ultrasonic inspection procedures contained in this manual contain the following
items:
− One or two piezoelectric transducers
− Accessories such as plastic shoe to change the sound beam angle where
required
− Coaxial cable to connect the transducer to the instrument, usually male BNC to
microdot
− Couplant
− Calibration reference standards for instrument calibration
− Ultrasonic instrument.
(2) At MHIRJ the three main categories of ultrasonic instruments are: instruments having
a A−scan to detect and evaluate presence of discontinuities; bondtesters to verify
bonding condition and detect presence of disbounds and ultrasonic thickness to
measure thickness of materials.
(3) For A−scan presentation, the following instruments are used:
− SONATEST, model UFDS
− SONATEST, model SITESCAN
− PANAMETRICS EPOCH III, model 2300
− KRAUTKRAMER−BRANSON, model USIP−12
− KRAUTKRAMER−BRANSON, model USL−42.
(4) For bondtesters, the following instruments are used:
− FOKKER, model 67
51−20−04 Oct 10/20
CRJ200
− BONDASCOPE, model 2100.
(5) For Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges, the following instruments are used:
− NOVA, model 810+
− PANAMETRICS, model 25DL
− KRAUTKRAMER−BRANSON, model CL204
− KRAUTKRAMER−BRANSON, model CL304.
(6) In an A−scan presentation, the test instrument displays the transmitted and received
ultrasonic waves on a CRT display as vertical signals along the horizontal baseline.
The amplitude of the vertical signals indicates the amount of sound wave energy
reflected back from defects or geometric boundaries. The position of the signal on
the horizontal baseline indicates the time or the distance the sound waves travel.
The data on the CRT display is used to verify the condition of the part being
inspected.
E. Ultrasonic Transducers
(1) Transducers are the links between the instrument and test objects. They usually
operate by the piezoelectric effect: when alternating electrical energy is applied to a
transducer, it makes mechanical waves. The opposite effect also occurs: when a
transducer is stressed mechanically, it produces electrical energy. Usually, the basic
construction of a transducer consists of the following:
− A piezoelectric crystal element, its thickness determining the frequency of
vibration
− Electrodes which establish electrical contact with the crystal element
− Damping block which absorbs rear sound waves and controls crystal ringing
− Frontal member which protects the crystal element.
(2) For contact transducers, the frontal member is a wear plate which protects the
contact surface of the part and of the crystal. For immersion transducers, the frontal
member is a waterproof front surface. The complete transducer assembly is also
called a probe or a search unit. Some transducers incorporate lenses which
converge the sound beam into a point called focus, while other contain plastic shoes
which change the mode and the direction of sound propagation. The main types of
transducers are:
− Straight beam transducers: introduce sound perpendicular to the surface
− Pitch and catch transducers: for testing thin sheets
− Delay−line transducer: designed to have a high near resolution
− Paintbrush: made from a mosaic of crystals for rapid scanning of large surfaces
− Angle beam transducers: introduce sound at angle to test surface
− Immersion transducers: for use in a liquid environment.
(3) For contact testing, the diameter of the transducer shall be the maximum distance of
the scan index.
51−20−04 Oct 10/20
CRJ200
(4) Transducers must be identified with the manufacturer’s name, operating frequency of
frequency range, part number, serial number and focal distance, if applicable.
(5) For angle beam testing, the angle of refraction for a given material must be specified.
F. Calibration Reference Standard Blocks

(1) Prior to any ultrasonic test, the instrument and transducer combination must be
calibrated to establish equipment sensitivity and distance calibration standards
containing the appropriate type of artificial flaw.
(2) Calibration reference standards to be used for inspection are found in the specific
procedure in Part 4 and must meet the requirements of the Calibration Standard
Drawing (MHIRJ, Engineering Department).
(3) Examples of typical calibration reference standards used for the detection of
discontinuities are shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8. Figure 7 shows a IIW calibration
reference standard block to calibrate an instrument during an A−scan presentation
for the detection of subsurface discontinuities using transverse waves with an angle
beam transducer. Figure 8 shows a typical calibration reference standard containing
various steps to calibrate an ultrasonic thickness gauge.
(4) Special calibration reference standards used to calibrate equipment for subsurface
flaws are found in the specific procedure in Part 4.
(5) The material used for the calibration reference standard blocks must have the same
sound velocity as the part to be tested. Usually, the calibration reference standard
blocks are made from aluminum, steel or titanium alloys.
(6) Electrical discharge machined (EDM) notches are used to simulate cracks and
machined or chemical milled steps for corrosion or loss of material.
(7) The notches and steps are the approximate size of discontinuities that can occur in
the inspection area and are used to determine the rejection threshold as well as a
reference for sizing and evaluation of indications.
(8) In most cases, it is necessary to know the velocity of the material to be tested,
especially for thickness testing. Refer to Table 1 for velocities and acoustic
impedance at ambient room temperature (20 °C (68 °F) approximately) of common
materials used in the aerospace industry.

EDDY CURRENT − INSPECTION PROCEDURES
1. General
A. Eddy current inspection method detects and measures the types of conditions in
electrically conductive materials. The conditions can be as follows:
− Surface and subsurface cracks
− Damage caused by corrosion (measure change in thickness)
− Thickness of non conductive coatings on non ferromagnetic conductive base materials
− Material electrical conductivity.
B. If part 1 general and part 6 eddy current tasks do not agree, use the part 6 eddy current
task (NDT Part 6 53−00−096).
2. Operation Principles
Refer to Figure 1.
A. When the alternating current passes through a coil (probe), it creates an alternating
magnetic field. It induces alternating currents (eddy currents) in a conductive test article.
B. The induced currents move in circular closed path around and normal to the coil’s
magnetic field. They also move parallel to the coil’s winding and to the part surface.
C. The magnetic field of the induced currents (eddy currents) are in a direction opposite to
the coil’s magnetic field resulting in a drop in flux.
D. During eddy current inspection, the presence of flaws and changes in material properties
in the test article causes the value of eddy current to change.
E. It also causes the value of the coil’s magnetic field to change and hence the current
through the coil.
F. Any change in the coil’s current will cause a dot on the display screen to deviate from the
balanced position.
G. The eddy currents depth of penetration is affected by several factors:
− Test frequency
− Material conductivity
− Permeability.
H. As the test frequency increases, depth of penetration decreases and the eddy currents
tend to concentrate near the surface of the part. This phenomenon is known as skin
effect".
I. As the frequency is lowered, the depth of penetration increases. However, the eddy
current strength is reduced and the sensitivity to detect flaws also decreases.
J. However, the actual frequency used in any specific eddy current inspection will depend on
the material thickness, the desired depth of penetration, and the sensitivity or resolution
required.
K. The electrical conductivity (% IACS, International Annealed Copper Standard) of a material
is affected by the factors that follow:
51−20−06 Oct 10/20
CRJ200
− Chemical composition
− Heat treatment condition
− Temperature
− Age hardening
− Cold working.
3. Job Set−Up Information

A. General
(1) If equivalent equipment is used, it must satisfy the requirement of the task and
resolve the electrical discharge machined (EDM) notches of the calibration reference
standard (CRS) at the required level of resolution and sensitivity.
(2) The range of inspection frequencies used is from about 200 Hz to 6 MHz.
(3) In general, high frequencies eddy current (HFEC) above 100 kHz are used to
examine for surface discontinuities which can be as follows:.
− Surface cracks on a flat or slightly curved surface
− Surface cracks in a radius
− Surface cracks from an edge or cutout
− Surface cracks from a fastener hole.
(4) Low frequencies eddy current (LFEC) below 10 kHz are used to inspect for
subsurface discontinuities.
(5) Make sure you follow the manufacturers instructions when you operate the test
equipment.
B. Tools and Equipment
Refer to Figure 2, and Figure 3.
(1) Eddy Current Test Equipment
(a) The list that follows shows eddy current test equipments that MHI RJ Aviation
ULC uses:
− Hocking Phasec 2200
− Nortec 500D.
(b) For eddy current inspection of bolt holes with the fasteners removed, a viewing
screen with a YT display is used. One axis (vertical) of the eddy current signal is
displayed as a function of time.
(c) The eddy current test equipments used at MHI RJ Aviation ULC are of

51−20−06 Oct 10/20
CRJ200
Refer to Figure 4.
(2) Probes
(a) Probes must be identified with the manufacturer’s name, frequency or
frequency range, part number and serial number.
(b) Probe adapters and connectors can be required to connect probes from
different manufacturers to match the test equipment being used.
(c) Absolute, differential, and send−received (reflection) coil configurations, with or
without magnetic shielding, must be used as specified in the inspection
procedure.
(d) The configurations of these probes varies in shape and size and can be:
− Bolt hole
− Cranked
− Pencil
− Sliding
− Spot
− 90° tip.
Refer to Figure 5.
(3) Calibration Reference Standards
(a) The CRS must meet its drawing material specifications and EDM notch
requirements.
(b) EDM notches are used to simulate cracks in the CRS.
(c) Machined or chemical milled steps are used to simulate corrosion in the CRS.
(d) The standards will give a repeatable source of eddy current indication during
test equipment calibration.
(e) The EDM notches and steps are the approximate size of discontinuities that
can be found in the inspection area. They are used to determine the rejection
threshold as well as being a reference for sizing and evaluation of indications.

A. Calibrate and examine the parts as follows:

(1) Monitor the screen display carefully at all times and note all distinct relevant
indications. Include the screen display height of each signal and its location on the
part.
(2) Make sure the operating point is on the screen display at all times.
(3) If the operating point has moved to the left of the CRS balance point, do the lift−off
compensation calibration (TASK 51−00−06 (Part 6)).
(4) If the operating point has moved below the CRS balance point, do as follows:
(a) Rebalance the test equipment on an adjacent inspection area.
(b) Scan the CRS balance point.
(c) Repeat until the operating point is at the same location of the CRS balance
point on the screen display.
(5) Make sure the inspection surface is well illuminated.
(6) Use a non conductive straight edge as a probe guide. This will prevent edge signals
and maximize the surface crack sensitivity.
(7) Use a non conductive circle template as a probe guide. Use a hole size which gives
a clearance equivalent to the probe diameter between the edge of the fastener hole
and the template.
(8) Use the fastener head or tail as a probe guide for circular scans.
(9) Make sure that the probe (coil) tip stays perpendicular to the inspection surface at all
times during the scan.
(10) Make sure you keep a minimum distance between the probe (coil) tip and the part
edge to prevent the screen display to show an edge signal.
(11) Use a probe index of one probe diameter or less between the scans.
(12) Do each scan of the inspection area at the same probe speed and contact pressure
as used during the calibration step.
(13) The outside diameter of fixed bolt−hole probes must not be more than 0.006 in.
(0.15 mm) less than the hole inside diameter.
(14) Variable or adjustable bolt−hole probes must be set so that a slight interference
exists between the hole and probe.
(15) Make sure that the sliding probe (coil) is put flat on the surface to be scanned.
(16) The sliding probe is most sensitive when its centerline is aligned on the crack length.
NOTE: The probe sensitivity is decreased when the probe centerline is more than
plus or minus 30 degrees from the crack length.
(17) Calibrate the test equipment for the conditions that follow and if necessary, repeat
the inspection steps from the last correct calibration:
− Every 15 minutes of continuous operation
− When there is a change of the set up parameter
− When there is a change of the test equipment (i.e. probe, Teflon tape on probe
(coil))
51−20−06 Oct 10/20
CRJ200
− When the amplitude of the calibration signal has decreased by 25% or more
− If the operation point goes off the screen display
− When the inspection is completed.
B. Do the indications evaluation as follow:
(1) If a subsurface indication is detected in the vicinity of fasteners, remove the fasteners
as necessary. Do an eddy current bolt hole inspection to confirm indication.
(2) Approval and authorization from engineering must be obtained, before the fasteners
are removed or the holes are enlarged.
(3) To detect discontinuities below or near the surface, use the X−ray radiography
inspection (RT) in Part 2, or the ultrasonic inspection (UT) in Part 4.
(4) Magnetic particle inspection (MPI) in Part 7 can also be used for ferromagnetic
materials.
(5) To detect discontinuities that are open to the surface of a bare metal, use the liquid
penetrant inspection (LPI) in Part 8.
C. Do the acceptance and rejection criteria as follows:
(1) Crack indications must be validated by a Level II or Level III eddy current individual
certified to a NDT Standard approved by the National Airworthiness Authority.
(2) If necessary, send a defect and damage report to MHI RJ Group (SRM 51−13−01).

MAGNETIC PARTICLE
1. General
A. Magnetic particle inspection (MPI) is used to detect surface or near surface discontinuities
in ferromagnetic or magnetizable materials such as cobalt, nickel, iron and alloy steels.
MPI can not be used on nonferromagnetic metals and alloys such as austenitic stainless
steels.
B. This part contains information pertinent to the performance and application of the MPI
method.
precedence.
2. Principles of Operation
A. General
(1) The MPI method is based on the principal that when a test article is magnetized, the
magnetic flux is locally distorted by the presence of a discontinuity. The
discontinuity will force some of the magnetic field to leave and reenter the object
producing what is known as magnetic leakage field. The leakage field is capable of
attracting or collecting finely divided ferromagnetic particles to form an outline or
indication of the discontinuity.
(2) Discontinuities that are between 45 and 90 degrees to the magnetic field will cause a
leakage field. It is important that the magnetic field is as close as possible to 90
degrees or perpendicular to the discontinuity to obtain the strongest indication. The
test article must be magnetized in two or more directions approximately 90 degrees
apart if the major dimension or orientation of the discontinuity is unknown.
(3) The MPI method consists of the following six basic steps:
− Preparation of inspection surfaces
− Magnetization of the inspection surface
− Application of magnetic particles
− Inspection and evaluation
− Demagnetization
− Post cleaning.
3. Equipment and Test Materials
A. Magnetizing and Demagnetizing Equipment

(1) Magnetization can be achieved by passing electric current directly through the test
object or indirectly by placing the test object within the magnetic flux of an external
source such as a coil. The MPI procedures can involve the use of yokes, portable or
mobile units and stationary units.
(2) The types of current used for magnetization include full−wave rectified alternating
current single or three phase (FWDC), half−wave rectified alternating current single
phase (HWDC) and alternating current (AC).
51−20−07 Oct 10/20
CRJ200
CAUTION: ALTERNATING CURRENT (AC) SHOULD ONLY USED FOR DETECTION OF

SURFACE TYPE DISCONTINUITIES.
B. Test Materials
(1) Dry particles must meet the requirements of AMS 3040.
(2) Visible wet particles must meet the requirements of AMS 3041, AMS 3042 and AMS
3043. Fluorescent wet particles must meet the requirements of AMS 3044, AMS
3045 and AMS 3046.
(3) Oil liquid vehicle for the wet method must conform to AMS 2641 or DOD−F−87935.
C. Equipment/Material Calibration and Verification
The equipment and materials used in MPI must be checked for performance and
accuracy, Refer to Table 1.

NOTE: Where necessary, tasks such as access panel and component removal are done
before the inspection. These tasks are included in the specific procedures in Part 7
of this manual.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS A GOOD FLOW OF CLEAN AIR AND SUFFICIENT FIRE
PROTECTION. USE APPROVED BODY PROTECTION WHEN YOU USE SOLVENTS.
ALL SOLVENTS ARE POISONOUS AND SOME ARE FLAMMABLE.
A. The inspection surface must be free of grease, oil, rust, paint and other contaminants that
may interfere with the inspection sensitivity level. The inspection surface must be cleaned
and dried prior to inspection. Refer to the SRM, Chapter 51.
51−20−07 Oct 10/20
CRJ200
B. The test article must be demagnetized before inspection if the residual magnetic field will
interfere with the test.
C. Use hard grease or wood plugs to seal off areas of the parts or assemblies that follow:
− Areas that can be damaged by the inspection materials
− Areas where the inspection materials can be entrapped.
D. MPI should not be performed on parts with coatings such as chrome plating greater than
0.003 in. (0.076 mm) in thickness, or ferromagnetic coatings such as nickel plating greater
than 0.001 in. (0.025 mm). These coatings could prevent detection of surface
discontinuities in the base material.
5. Magnetization of the Inspection Surface

NOTE: The information that follows is limited to methods which are permitted to for use for
inspection of aircraft parts only.
CAUTION: USE COPPER BRAIDED PADS BETWEEN THE ELECTRODES AND PARTS TO
PREVENT BURNING OF THE PART. ENSURE THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT
PRESSURE BETWEEN THE ELECTRODES AND PART, AND THE CONTACT POINTS
ARE CLEAN.
A. Types of Magnetic Fields Used in MPI

NOTE: There are two basic types of magnetic fields used in MPI, circular and
longitudinal.
(1) Circular magnetization can be achieved by clamping the part between contacts on a
stationary bench−type equipment or by passing a conductor through a hollow
section of the part. The magnetic field forms complete loops within the object, i.e. it
travels in a circular direction.
(2) Longitudinal magnetization can be induced into the part by using a fixed coil, cable
wraps or an electromagnetic yoke. The magnetic field direction is essentially parallel
to its longitudinal axis and characterized by poles close to each end of the object.
B. Magnetizing Current and Field Strength Verification

(1) Use of a Gaussmeter and/or an artificial flaw indicator such as a flaw shim (refer to
Figure 2) is required to verify the field strength and direction on all parts. When
using a Guassmeter, field strength readings in the range of 30 to 60 gauss (2.4 to 4.8
kA/m) measured on the part surface are considered adequate.
(2) For direct and central conductor circular magnetization 300 to 500 amperes per in.
[A/in] (12 to 20) amperes per millimeter [A/mm] of diameter. Higher amperages, up
to 1000 A/in. (40 A/mm) may be used for detection of subsurface discontinuities.
(3) The following conditions apply to fixed coils and cable wrap magnetization
(a) The minimum length to diameter (L/D) ratio is 2:1. If the L/D ratio is less than
two, do the steps that follow:
1 Circularly magnetize the part in two or more directions approximately 90
degrees apart.
2 Increase the L/D ratio to two or more by placing two or more parts of
similar external dimensions end to end, or by using ferromagnetic pole
pieces of approximately the same outside diameter.
51−20−07 Oct 10/20
CRJ200
(b) Use of electromagnetic yokes.

(c) The part must be positioned with the long axis parallel to the axis of the coil.
(d) Cable wraps consisting of three to five turns.
(e) The maximum length of inspection by each shot must not exceed 18 in., 9 in.
on either side of the coil. For parts greater than 18 in., multiple shots are
required with a minimum magnetic field overlap of 10 percent.
C. Magnetizing Current for Coils
(1) The following formulae should be used as a guide to establish and are applicable
only if the L/D ratio is 2 to 15. If L/D is greater than 15, use 15 in the calculations.
(a) For low−fill factor coils, when the cross−sectional area of the coil is 10 or more
times the cross−sectional area of the part being inspected, the amperage must
be calculated using the equations that follow:
For parts positioned to the side of the coil, NI + K (" 10%)
LńD
K 1R
For parts positioned in the center of the coil, NI + (" 10%)
[6(LńD) * 5]
where:
N=Number of turns in the coil
I=Current, Amperes
K=45,000, Ampere turns
K1=43,000, Ampere turns
R=Radius of the coil, inches
L=Length of the part, and
D=Diameter of the part, same units as the length.
(2) For high−fill factor coils or cable wraps, when the cross−sectional area of the coil is
less than twice the cross−sectional area (including the hollow portions) of the part
being inspected, the amperage must be calculated using the equation that follows:
NI + K (" 10%)
[(LńD) ) 2]
where:
N=Number of turns in the coil
I=Current, Amperes
K=35,000, Ampere turns
L=Length of the part, and
D=Diameter of the part, same units as the length.
(3) For hollow or cylindrical parts, D must be replaced with Deff (effective diameter) as
follows:
For hollow cylinders: D eff + [(OD) 2 * (ID) 2] 1ń2
For parts with hollow portions other than hollow cylinders in shape:
D eff + 2[(A t * A h)ńp] 1ń2
where:
OD=Outside diameter of the cylinder
ID=Inside diameter of the cylinder
At=Total cross sectional area of the part
Ah=Cross sectional area of hollow portions of the part.
51−20−07 Oct 10/20
CRJ200
(4) For electromagnetic yokes:

Yokes must be dead weight tested. AC yokes must have a minimum lifting force of
10 Ibs. (45 N) with a 2− to 4−inch (50− to 100−mm) spacing between legs. DC
yokes must have a minimum lifting force of 30 Ibs. (135 N) with a 2− to 4−inch (50−
to 100−mm) spacing between legs, or 50 Ibs. (225 N), with a 4− to 6−inch (100− to
150−mm) spacing between legs.
6. Indicator Media (Magnetic Particles)
A. Dry Method Powder

(1) Dry powders can be fluorescent and must be viewed in a dark area using a black
light (ultraviolet).
(2) Dry powders can also be nonfluorescent (visible) usually black, red or yellow and
must be viewed under natural or artificial light conditions.
(3) Dry powders are typically applied from portable squeeze bottle applicators or low
velocity, pneumatic operated guns.
B. Wet Method (Suspensions)

(1) Wet suspensions can be fluorescent or nonfluorescent (visible).
(2) Wet suspensions are typically applied from well−agitated portable sprays (aerosol)
for on−site inspection. or for bench type equipment low pressure spraying or flowing
the suspension onto the part surfaces.
7. Application of Magnetic Particles
A. Wet Continuous Method, Portable Equipment

8. Inspection
A. Viewing Area
(1) For the fluorescent particle process, the inspection area, i.e. booths, must be kept
clean to prevent contamination and adequately shielded to provide an ambient
visible light level not exceeding 2 footcandles (fc) or 20 lux (lx) measured at the part
surface including those emitted by black lights.
(2) Inspectors must allow a minimum of one minute dark adaptation after each time the
black light booth or inspection area is entered from visible light prior to fluorescent
MPI.
B. Lighting
(1) The black light source used for fluorescent magnetic particle inspection may be fixed
or hand held. The high pressure mercury vapor lamp bulb must be at least 100 watt
type containing an external filter or a filter integrated into the bulb to transmit
wavelengths between 320 to 400 nanometers (nm), with 365 nm wavelength
predominating.
(2) When using nonfluorescent (visible) particles, the inspection area must provide a
white light source capable of producing a minimum of 100 fc or 1000 lx at the
inspection surface.
(3) Special portable black light equipment may be used to supplement regular lights for
inspecting inner surfaces of holes, tubing, recesses and other inaccessible areas.
C. Inspection Coverage
The inspection coverage required must be specified in the specific procedure in Part 7,
Service Bulletin (SB) or Airworthiness Directive (AD).
D. Inspection Start Amperage

The inspection must start at the lowest amperage, based on the smallest cross section
and with increasing steps to cover each increase in section.
E. Circular and Longitudinal Magnetization

When circular and longitudinal magnetization are used to inspect the part, the circular
magnetization must precede the longitudinal magnetization.
F. After Magnetization
After each magnetization, examine the part thoroughly for particle indications.
G. Distinct Relevant Indications

Make a note of all distinct relevant indications and its relative location on the part.
9. Evaluation of Indications
A. Causes of Nonrelevant Indications

(1) Nonrelevant indications are caused by magnetic leakage fields but they do not
represent discontinuities.
51−20−07 Oct 10/20
CRJ200
(2) Design factors such as keyways, drilled holes and abrupt changes in section,
metallurgical changes and permeability variations, shrink fits or dissimilar materials
may produce nonrelevant indications.
B. False Indications Causes

(1) False indications are not caused by leakage field, they are caused mechanically.
These indications do not reappear after the parts are cleaned and reprocessed.
Examples of false indications include, magnetic writing, this indication appears as a
characteristic scrawl created by one part rubbing against another, also scale and
surface scratches.
C. Relevant Indications Causes

(1) Relevant indications are caused by magnetic leakage fields and represents the
presence of discontinuity and will reappear after the parts are cleaned and
reprocessed.
(2) Surface indications are sharp and distinct.
(3) Subsurface indications are broad and fuzzy.
10. Demagnetization
A. Inspected parts must be demagnetized between magnetizing operations, wherever the
residual magnetism interferes with the interpretation of indication, and after completion of
magnetic particle inspection.
B. If possible, magnetize parts in the longitudinal direction prior to demagnetization.
C. When using AC demagnetization, the part must be subjected to a field with a peak value
greater than, and in nearly the same direction as the field used during inspection. This AC
field is then decreased gradually to zero.
D. Hold the part approximately one foot (30 cm) in front of the AC demagnetizing coil and
move it slowly through the coil and at least three feet (91 cm) beyond the end of the coil.
Rotate and tumble parts of complex shape while passing them through the coil.
E. When using DC demagnetization, the initial field must be greater than and nearly in the
same direction as the field reached in the part during inspection. The field must then be
reversed, and decreased in magnitude. The process must be repeated until an
acceptable value of residual field is reached.
F. After demagnetization, place a magnetic field indicator on several areas of the part. The
residual fields in all areas must not exceed three Gauss (240 A/m) unless specified
otherwise.
11. Post Cleaning
A. Cleaning of Accepted Parts After MPI

(1) Clean the parts with P−D−680 solvent after inspection and removal of residual
magnetic field (Refer to SRM, Chapter 51).
(2) Where applicable, remove any hard grease or wood plugs and clean the areas with
P−D−680 solvent (Refer to SRM, Chapter 51).
51−20−07 Oct 10/20
CRJ200
(3) Apply the specified finish (Refer to SRM, Chapter 51).

LIQUID PENETRANT−INSPECTION PROCEDURES
1. General
A. This section establishes the minimum requirements for conducting liquid penetrant
examinations of non−porous materials.
B. The penetrant examination process described in this section is applicable to in−process,
final, and maintenance (in−service) inspections. These processes are applicable for the
detection of discontinuities such as lack of fusion, corrosion (pitting), cracks, laps, cold
shuts, porosity, etc. that are open or connected to the surface of the component under
examination.
precedence.
2. Principles of Penetrant Inspection

A. After thorough preparation of the inspection area, a liquid of high mobility and penetrating
power (the penetrant) is applied to the surface of the part. The penetrant is allowed to
dwell on the surface for a specified time so that it can, by capillary action, enter open to
the surface discontinuities.
B. Following the specified penetrant dwell time, the excess penetrant is removed from the
surface. An approved remover (or cleaning system) is used to ensure a clean surface,
leaving only that penetrant which has entered any discontinuity.
C. Next, a fine powder developer is applied to the surface and the blotting action of the
powder draws the penetrant from the discontinuity. The penetrant seeps from the
discontinuity and is absorbed by the powder particles so that an indication of the
discontinuity develops to a size which can be seen against the background of the powder,
or seen when illuminated under a black light, if fluorescent penetrant is used.
D. Relevant indications are recorded before the surface is thoroughly cleaned, and
depending upon the acceptance criteria, further action may be taken.
E. All the materials intended for a specific penetrant inspection, penetrant, remover, and
developer must belong to the same penetrant family or system, and must be supplied by
the same manufacturer.
NOTE: Refer to Figure 1 for a general flow chart for a penetrant procedure for Method C
in service examination. Refer to Figure 1 (Sheet 2) for a visual representation for
Method C.

7. Surface Preparation
A. When necessary, tasks such as removal of access panels and components are always
done prior to the examination and are included in the specific procedures as noted in Part
8 of this manual.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS A GOOD FLOW OF CLEAN AIR AND SUFFICIENT
FIRE PROTECTION. USE APPROVED BODY PROTECTION WHEN YOU USE
SOLVENTS. ALL SOLVENTS ARE POISONOUS AND SOME ARE FLAMMABLE.
B. All surfaces to be examined must be clean, dry, and free of soils, oil, grease, paint and
other coatings, plating, corrosion products, scale, smeared metal, welding flux, chemical
residues, or any other material that could prevent the penetrant from entering
discontinuities, or suppress dye performance, or produce a unacceptable background.
Cleaning methods, including etching, selected for a particular component, must be
consistent with the contaminants to be removed and must not be detrimental to the
components or its intended function.
C. Solvent cleaning that includes vapor degreasing, solvent soak, ultrasonic cleaning, or
aqueous−based cleaning solutions must be used for the removal of oils, greases, waxes
and, as a final cleaning step prior to penetrant application unless etching is required.
51−20−08 Oct 10/20
CRJ200
D. Chemical cleaning must be used for the removal of paints, varnishes, scale, carbon, or
other contaminants that are not removable by solvent cleaning methods.
E. Mechanical cleaning must be used for the removal of soils and other contaminants that
are not removable by solvent or chemical methods.
F. Unless otherwise specified, etching must be performed when evidence exists that
previous surface cleaning treatments, or service usage has produced a smeared surface
condition or possible closing of surface flaws. The etching process must be developed
and controlled to prevent damage to the component under test. Etching is not required
for those features such as close tolerance surfaces, faying surfaces, etc., where the
function of the component or assembly would be degraded.
G. Etching for in−service penetrant examination of aluminum parts is mandatory. The
etchant material is made up of sodium hydroxide solution, 15% thickened with
approximately 50 grams per liter of corn starch. The neutralizing solution is 2 normal nitric
acid. Apply by brush or wiper (in a masked area) a thin layer of thickened 15% sodium
hydroxide solution and leave in place for 5 to 10 minutes. Apply fresh solution several
times during this period to keep the surface wet. For inclined, vertical or overhead
surfaces, the solution must be contained to the inspection area and not allowed to run or
move to locations outside the inspection area under examination. Wash the area by
wiping in succession with cloths dampened with water, then apply the neutralizing solution
2 normal nitric acid, and do a final rinse with water. Wipe dry with clean dry cloths.
NOTE: Ensure that the inspection area that has just been etched and cleaned, remains
dry and free from any moisture before the application of penetrant.
NOTE: Parts suspected of smearing (operations that leave unremovable residues within
defects) must have a minimum of 0.0002 in. or 5 micrometers per surface
removed by etching prior to fluorescent inspection.

9. Penetrant Removal
A. Method A: Water−Washable Penetrant Removal Process
(1) The Method A process is as follows:
WARNING: OVER−REMOVAL OR OVER−WASH OF THE SURFACE PENETRANT
REQUIRES THAT THE COMPONENT BE CLEANED AND REPROCESSED.
AN INDICATION OF OVER−WASH OR OVER−REMOVAL OF THE
SURFACE PENETRANT IS INDICATED BY THE TOTAL LACK OF RESIDUE
THAT MAY OCCUR ON ALL, OR A SPECIFIC AREA OF THE PART, WHEN
INSPECTED UNDER BLACK LIGHT DURING THE REMOVAL CYCLE, AND,
OR IN THE INSPECTION STATION AFTER DRYING.
(a) Method A process (Water−washable) penetrants must be removed with a
manual or automatic water spray.
(b) Manual spray water pressure adequate to remove the penetrant must be used.
The water pressure must not exceed 40 psi (275 kPa), and water temperature
must be 50 to 100 °F (10 to 38 °C). When hydro−air nozzles are used, the air
pressure (filtered) must not exceed 25 psi (172 kPa). A coarse spray must be
used with a minimum distance of 12 in. (30 cm) between the spray nozzle and
the part. Washing must be conducted under appropriate illumination. After
rinsing, drain the water from the component to prevent pooling in cavities,
recesses and pockets. This is done by repositioning the components or by
suction, blotting with clean absorbant materials, or filtered shop air not
exceeding 25 psi (172 kPa).
(c) Automated spray systems wash parameters must be such that the
requirements of this procedure are met. Water temperature must be
maintained between 50 to 100 °F (10 to 38 °C).
B. Method C: Solvent Removal Process (Preferred In−service Method) are performed as
follows:
(1) The Method C Process (preferred In−service method) is performed as follows:
(a) Solvent removable penetrants are removed by first wiping the excess penetrant
with a clean, lint free, dry cloth or absorbent towel. The remainder of the
surface penetrant is then removed with a solvent (non−halogenated) damped,
lint free cloth or towel. The surface of the component must not be flushed with
solvent, and the cloth or towel must not be saturated with solvent. If this
occurs, the component must be cleaned and reprocessed. Additional etching
is not required.
C. Method D (Penetrant Removal Process).
WARNING: OVER−REMOVAL OR OVER−WASH OF THE SURFACE PENETRANT
REQUIRES THAT THE COMPONENT BE CLEANED AND REPROCESSED. AN
INDICATION OF OVER−WASH OR OVER−REMOVAL OF THE SURFACE
PENETRANT IS INDICATED BY THE TOTAL LACK OF RESIDUE THAT MAY
OCCUR ON ALL, OR A SPECIFIC AREA OF THE PART, WHEN INSPECTED
UNDER BLACK LIGHT DURING THE REMOVAL CYCLE, AND, OR IN THE
INSPECTION STATION AFTER DRYING.
(1) Hydrophilic post emulsifier penetrant must be first removed with a water pre−rinse
followed by an application of the hydrophilic emulsifier and then by a post−rinse.
51−20−08 Oct 10/20
CRJ200
(2) The water pre−rinse must be applied for the minimum amount of time required to
achieve removal of bulk surface penetrant. Rinse parameters must be applied, refer
to Paragraph 9.A.(1)(b) and 9.A.(1)(c).
(3) Hydrophilic emulsifier can be applied by immersion, flowing, or spraying. For
immersion application the concentration, percent volume, must not be higher than
specified by the penetrant system supplier. The concentration must not exceed the
the level the system was qualified at. For immersion applications, the emulsifier or
part must be mildly agitated. Dwell time must be the minimum required for adequate
surface penetrant removal, but must not exceed two minutes. For spray applications
the concentration must not exceed five percent.
(4) Post−rinse after the application and dwell of the hydrophilic emulsifier the
component being examined must be rinsed with water, refer to Paragraph 9.A.(1)(b)
and 9.A.(1)(c).
NOTE: If the emulsifier dwell time exceeds two two minutes, the component must
be cleaned, dried and reprocessed.
10. Drying Parameters

A. The components may be dried prior to the application of a dry developer, or nonaqueous
developer. The components must be drained of excess water, but not dried before the
application of the aqueous developers, followed by a drying process.
B. Rinsed components must be partially dried by blowing with filtered compressed air at a
pressure of 25 psi (172 kPa). Vacuum may also be used to partially dry components to
the extent that the parts are free from droplets and puddles of moisture. Components
must be completely dried, using a hot air or a circulating convection type oven.
C. Oven temperatures or hot air must not exceed 160 °F (71 °C). Drying time must not
exceed the time that is necessary to adequately dry the components.
NOTE: High temperatures and excessive drying times will adversely affect penetrant
sensitivity.
D. In−service components cleaned with non−halogenated solvent must be dried using dry,
clean, lint free cloths or towels, or by evaporation.
E. Drying oven calibration temperature uniformity surveys, must consist of a nine point
survey of all corners, as well as the middle region of the dryer. A calibration must be
performed semi−annually, and all points must be within a range of 25 °F (4 °C).
Accuracy of the thermocouples must be carried out monthly.

(1) Components must be dry before the developer is applied. Dry developer must be
applied in a such a manner that the developer contacts all surfaces that are to be
inspected. Excess dry developer may be removed after the development dwell time
by light tapping, or with light (filtered) air pressure not exceeding five psi (35 kPa).
The minimum developer dwell time must be 10 minutes and the maximum developer
dwell time must be one hour.
NOTE: Dry Developers must not be used with Type ll penetrants.
51−20−08 Oct 10/20
CRJ200
B. Nonaqueous Developers (Form d and e)

(1) Components, or areas requiring examination must be dry before application of the
developer. Non−aqueous developer must be applied by spray. For Type l
penetrants, the developer (form d) must be applied as a uniform thin coating over
the entire surface. For Type ll penetrants, the developer (form e) must be applied
over the entire surface to form a uniform, white coating to provide suitable colour
contrast for the penetrant indications. The uniformity and thickness of the developer
coating is important for Type l and Type ll penetrant systems. If the developer
coating thickness is too heavy for Type l systems, such that the metallic surface is
completely masked, the component must be cleaned and reprocessed. Unless
otherwise specified, the minimum developer dwell time must be 10 minutes and the
maximum developer dwell time must be 1 hour. For non−aqueous suspendable
developer, the developer container must be frequently agitated during application.
NOTE: For in−service examination, Type l penetrants with form d developer must
be employed.
NOTE: Two or three coats of developer are preferred to a single heavy coat of
developer.
C. Aqueous Developers (Form b and c).

(1) Aqueous soluble developers must not be used with Type ll penetrants, or Type l,
Method A penetrants. Aqueous suspendable developers can be used with Type l
and Type ll penetrants. Aqueous developers may be applied by spray, flowing, or
immersion. The applied developer must not be allowed to puddle, and must
completely cover all surfaces to be inspected. Components must be oven dried.
After the component is dried, the minimum development time must be 10 minutes
and the maximum development time must be 1 hour.
NOTE: Aqueous suspendable developers must be constantly agitated to keep the
particles from settling out of suspension.
12. Component Examination
A. General
(1) Examine the component once the minimum development time has elapsed to avoid
loss of resolution. Also examine the surface periodically during the development
time.
NOTE: Components not inspected before the maximum development time must
be cleaned and reprocessed.
B. Type l Process
(1) Inspectors vision must be adapted to the dark for a minimum of one minute prior to
examining components. Longer times may be required to allow inspectors vision to
adapt to the dark. Inspectors must not wear photochromic or permanently darkened
lenses while processing or reviewing parts under black light. Black lights must meet
the defined requirements, Refer to Paragraphs 4.A.(4) and 4.A.(5). All fluorescence
indications must be interpreted. Components with no indications, or only
nonrelevant indications must be accepted. Components with relevant indications,
must be evaluated with respect to the applicable acceptance criteria. Components
with excessive background fluorescence must be cleaned and reprocessed.
51−20−08 Oct 10/20
CRJ200
C. Type ll Processes
(1) A minimum intensity of 100 fc (1000 lx) of white light is required to examine the
components. All indications must be interpreted. Components with no indications,
or only nonrelevant indications must be accepted. Components with relevant
indications must be evaluated with respect to the applicable acceptance criteria.
Components with excessive background must be cleaned and reprocessed.
13. Discontinuity Interpretation

A. The type and the approximate size of discontinuities that can be detected by penetrant
inspection can be determined by assessing the size and shape of the indication as
follows:
− Cracks, seams, laps, and lack of fusion show a linear indications.
− Surface breaking or pitting corrosion shows as a round spot.
− A large concentrated area of penetrant could indicate an area of porosity, a surface
crack or a deep crack.
B. The size of the discontinuity is relative to the size of the penetrant indication. The larger
the indication the greater the discontinuity. This is due to the volume of entrapped
penetrant.
14. Post Cleaning of Components

A. All components must be cleaned within four hours after developer application. Remove
the developer residues as follows:
(1) Remove dry powder developer with filtered compressed air.
(2) Remove aqueous and non−aqueous wet developers with water spray or hose rinse.
In areas where in−service inspection is performed and water spray or hose rinse
proves not to be practical, use a clean, lint free cloth dampened with a appropriate
cleaner/remover, solvent or water.
NOTE: Vapour degreasing is not recommended. The residue may become baked
on the surface of the component.
(3) After removal of the penetrant, examine the component surface under a black light to
ensure no traces of penetrant remain. If residues remain, re−clean the components
or area until all traces are removed.
(4) Apply the specified finish (Refer to Structural Repair Manual (SRM), Chapter 51).
(5) When allowed by the proper authority, discontinuities may be removed by an
approved written procedure. The process used for reexamination must be at least
as sensitive as the original process.
(6) Normal dry powder and penetrant residues are not detrimental and may not require
removal when the next manufacturing operation is one of the following:
(a) Shot peening, machining, or grinding
(b) Any coating or plating operation that requires alkaline cleaning and deoxidizing,
and a caustic etch as part of the process.

15. Quality Control Provisions

A. This section provides the controls that are necessary to ensure that the penetrant system,
materials and equipment provide an acceptable level of performance. The frequency of
the required checks, as shown in Table 1 is based on a facility operating multi−shift
operations daily. For facilities that operate less frequently, the frequency of daily and
weekly checks may be reduced, but must be performed prior to examinations. Other
checks should be performed prior to examination, at the same frequency as for full−time
operations. The NDT facility may perform these process control operations or contract
with an independent laboratory to perform them. The laboratory and NDT facility must be
approved to perform the tests.
B. Prior to use, materials must conform to the requirements of AMS 2644. The conformance
of materials must be verified. This verification is normally a certified report from the
supplier.
C. Material checks (in use) are as follows:
− Water contamination (Type l, Method A only) in excess of 5% by volume is
unsatisfactory
− Brightness of penetrant values less than 90% of the unused penetrant is unsatisfactory.
− Penetrant removability (Type l, Method A only), must be at least equal to the reference
penetrant
− Emulsifier removability (Hydrophilic), must be at least equal to the reference emulsifier
− Hydrophilic emulsifier, immersion solution, variations of more than three percent from
the initial unused concentration is unsatisfactory. Spray concentration must not
exceed the concentration specified by the manufacture for the system
− Emulsifier colour must be between 0% and 10% on the control test coupons or the
emulsifier is contaminated
− When penetrant sensitivity of the in use penetrant is noticeably less than the reference
(penetrant) the in use penetrant is unsatisfactory
− Dry developer must be fluffy and not caked or lumpy. For developer that is recycled 10
or more fluorescent specks observed in any 10 in2 (25.4 cm2) of the surface, of the test
specimen when viewed under black light must be rejected
− To check aqueous developer. a clean aluminum panel of 3 in. by 10 in. (76 mm by 254
mm) must be immersed, dried and viewed under black light. Failure to uniformly wet
the panel, or the presence of fluorescence is unsatisfactory
− Developer concentration (Aqueous, Form b), must be checked with a hydrometer. The
concentration must be in accordance with the recommendation of the developer
manufacturer
− Concentration of emulsifier (hydrophilic) solutions must be checked with a
refractometer. The concentration must not be higher than specified by the
manufacturer
− System performance testing of the fluorescent penetrant system must be checked
using a sensitivity test panel. PSM−5 or equivalent. The penetrant test must reveal all
five cracks of the PSM 5 panel. When the performance of the in use materials fall
below the performance of the unused materials, the in use materials are unacceptable
and must be discarded.
NOTE: The sensitivity panel must be free of all residues prior to being used for testing.
51−20−08 Oct 10/20
CRJ200
D. Equipment checks are to be performed as follows:

− All black light bulbs and fluorescent tubes in use must be checked with the black light
intensity meter. Intensity of the black light must not be less than 1000 microwatts per
0.15 in2 (per 3.81 cm2), at 15 in. (38 cm) to the inspection table or part surface.
Rinsing station black light intensity must not be less than 100 microwatts per 0.15 in2
(per 3.81 cm2)
− The intensity of white light must be checked using a light meter and must be a
minimum of 100 fc (1000 lx) at the part surface. Ambient white light in the fluorescent
inspection station must not exceed 2 fc (20 lx). Ambient white light in the wash station
must not exceed 10 fc (100 lx)
− The inspection area for stationary systems must be clean and free from excessive
fluorescent contamination, and residual visible light background
− Water wash operating pressures and temperature indicators and controls, must be
adjusted to comply to the proper settings before commencing with penetrant
operations
− The meters for measurement of light intensity must be calibrated using traceable
standards as per Intentional Standards Organization (lSO) 10012−1
− The gauges measuring both pressure and temperature must be calibrated using
traceable standards as per lSO 10012−1.

VISUAL−INSPECTION PROCEDURES
1. General
Visual inspection is a nondestructive testing method used to detect various types of surface
flaws such as cracks, corrosion, contamination, damaged fasteners, etc.
There are two levels of visual inspections:
− General visual inspection
− Detailed inspection.
A. General Visual Inspection

(1) A general visual inspection is a visual examination of an interior or exterior area,
installation, or assembly to detect obvious damage, failure, or irregularity. This level
of inspection is made within one arm length unless otherwise specified. A mirror
may be necessary to enhance visual access to all the exposed surfaces in the
inspection area. The inspection is made under normally available lighting conditions
such as daylight, hangar lighting, flashlight, or droplight. The inspection may require
the removal or opening of access panels or doors. Stands, ladders, or platforms
may be required to gain proximity to the area to be checked.
B. Detailed Inspection
(1) A detailed inspection is an intensive examination of a specific item, installation, or
assembly to detect damage, failure, or irregularity. Available lighting is normally
supplemented with a direct source of good lighting at an intensity deemed
appropriate. Inspection aids such as mirrors, magnifying lenses, and borescopes,
may be necessary. Surface cleaning and elaborate access procedures may be
required.
NOTE: If there is a conflict between the Part 1 − General Information and the specific
procedure in Part 9 of this manual (NDTM), the specific procedure takes
precedence.
2. Visual Inspection Equipment
A. Magnifiers
Power (1.5X to 10X) hand−held magnifiers may be used for more detailed visual
inspections and also increase the rate of inspection.
B. Rigid Borescopes
Refer to Figure 1.
Rigid borescopes are limited to applications with a straight−line path between the
observer and the inspection surface. A basic rigid borescope has the following features:
− Optical lens(es) incorporated in a fixed rigid tube; the tube can have a variety of
lengths (0.50 to 100 ft (0.15 to 30.5 m)) and diameters (0.16 to 2.75 in (4.06 to
69.85mm)).
− Magnification is usually 3X to 4X. Higher power, up to 50X, is available.

− Built−in illumination system or light source. The illumination system can either be a
distal lamp or a light guide bundle, and the various features may include orbital scan,
various viewing heads, and adjustable focussing of the objective lens.
Rigid borescopes generally have a field of view of approximately 55 degrees. Different
field of views can be obtained by simply changing the rigid tube. There are five typical
directions and field of view with rigid borescope, 1) direct, 2) right angle, 3) forward
oblique, 4) retrospective and 5) circumferential.
C. Flexible Borescopes
Refer to Figure 2.
Flexible borescopes are primarily used to inspect surfaces that do not have a straight
passageway to the point of observation.
A typical flexible borescope consists of the following:
− A light guide bundle
− An objective lens
− An image guide bundle used to carry the image formed by the objective lens back to
the eyepiece for viewing
− Interchangeable viewing heads
− Remote controls for articulation of the distal tip (interchangeable).
These borescopes have a range of diameters from 0.055 inches to 0.50 inches and
lengths up to 40.00 ft (12.20 m). The field of view is controlled by articulating the distal tip
and is typically 40 degrees to 60 degrees.
NOTE: In cases of difficulty to access areas, it may be necessary to use a specially
shaped rigid tube to guide the flexible borescope to the inspection area. If
required, the specific procedure in PART 9 − VISUAL of this manual will provide
the details.
D. Other Inspection Aids

− Adjustable viewing mirror
− Flashlight.
3. Preparation of Inspection Surfaces

A. Where necessary, tasks such as removal of access panels and/or components are done
before the inspection are included in the specific procedures in PART 9 VISUAL of this
manual.
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS A GOOD FLOW OF CLEAN AIR AND USE
APPROVED BODY PROTECTION WHEN YOU USE SOLVENTS AND
INSPECTION FLUIDS. MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE SUFFICIENT FIRE
PROTECTION. ALL THESE MATERIALS ARE POISONOUS AND SOME ARE
FLAMMABLE.
It is essential that the inspection surfaces be as clean as possible.
The inspection surface must be free of grease, oil, dirt, scale or other contaminants that
may prevent the surface flaws to be seen. Refer to the Structural Repair Manual (SRM),
Chapter 51.

4. Inspection Procedure
A. Ensure the inspection area is well illuminated.
B. Visually inspect the area to be examined for signs of a crack, corrosion, or other types of
surface defects as specified in the applicable documentation.
(1) Cracks usually appear as a fine dark line on a painted surface and it may be straight,
jagged, singly, multiple, or branching.
NOTE: Ensure that a fine line is not due to an entrapped hair or thread−like fiber.
(2) Discoloration, bulging, or a white powder (corrosion product) on the paint surface,
may be signs of corrosion.
C. Record and report results in accordance with company guidelines and policies.
D. For indications that exceed the allowable limits, it is recommended that you contact
MHIRJ Customer Support (refer to SRM 51−13−01).
5. Confirmation and Indications

A. For aluminum alloy parts, refer to 51−20−08 for liquid penetrant inspection (LPI) or
51−20−06 for eddy current inspection (ET) information.
B. For ferromagnetic parts, refer to Part 1, 51−20−07 for magnetic particle inspection (MPI)
information.
