REFERENCE DATA
1. General
A. This part contains data on basic dimensions, stations, zones, and access provisions. The
nondestructive testing procedures refer to data which help to locate and gain access to
the test areas.
BASIC DIMENSIONS
1. General
Refer to Figure 1.
A. The dimensions of the aircraft are measured in planes parallel or perpendicular to the
fuselage reference plane. Chord lines are measured as projections on the wing reference
plane. The wing reference plane passes through WL 53.25 at the center line of the aircraft
and has a dihedral angle of +2.33 degrees with respect to the fuselage reference plane.

A. This section gives data on the aircraft stations for the areas that follow:
− Aircraft
− Fuselage
− Wing
− Horizontal stabilizer and elevator
− Vertical stabilizer and rudder
− Nacelle and pylon.
2. Description
A. General
(1) This section gives data about references planes and lines that are found throughout
this Chapter. References planes divide the aircraft into stations. Reference lines
divide the aircraft into waterlines and buttock lines. All reference planes and
reference lines are measured in inches.
(b) The pylon stations are measured perpendicular to the fuselage center line.
(6) Waterline (WL)
(a) The waterlines are horizontal lines perpendicular to the buttock line (BL) and
parallel to the fuselage center line.
(7) Buttock Line (BL)
(a) The buttock lines are vertical lines perpendicular to the waterline (WL) and the
fuselage center line. The buttock lines are parallel to the fuselage vertical
center−line.
(8) Maximum Half Breadth (MHB)
(a) The maximum half−breadth line is the geometric center of the fuselage from
the forward to aft ends of the aircraft. The line joins the points of maximum
half−width and half−height of the fuselage at specified fuselage stations.

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:

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.
A. Fuselage
B. Doors
C. Empennage
E. Wing
(1) Access Panels, Fairings and Doors − Left and Right Wing Upper−Surface
(a) On aircraft pre−service bulletin 601R−57−014, refer to Figure 22
(Configuration No. 1).
(b) On aircraft post−service bulletin 601R−57−014, refer to Figure 23
(Configuration No. 2).
(2) Access Panels, Fairings and Doors − Left and Right Wing Lower−Surface
Refer to Figure 24.

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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
NOTE: Kodak film Type II single film technique is the most frequent film used at MHI RJ
group. Type IV Kodak AA is used only in a double film technique, or when X−raying
dense, thick material. Equivalent films can be used. Fluorescent screens cannot be
used at MHI RJ group.

ULTRASONIC
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.
NOTE: If there is a conflict between this Part 1 − General Information and the specific
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.
(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
− FOKKER, model 70

CRJ200
NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING MANUAL
Part 1 − General Information
− FOKKER, model 80
− 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.

3. Inspection Procedure
A. Before carrying out an ultrasonic inspection, an approved procedure for the specified
inspection must be available. The specific procedures in Part 4 will describe in detail the
preparation, inspection coverage scanning technique, and acceptance/rejection criteria.
The inspection must be performed by certified ultrasonic personnel. Refer to 51−20−01
for general inspection requirements. It is important that the equipment manufacturer’s
instructions are followed for the correct use of the test instrument.
B. Other nondestructive testing methods are as follows:
− X−Ray inspection (Refer to Part 1, 51−20−02)
− Eddy current inspection (Refer to Part 1, 51−20−06)
− Magnetic particle inspection (Refer to Part 1, 51−20−07)
− Liquid penetrant inspection (Refer to Part 1, 51−20−08)
− Visual inspection (Refer to Part 1, 51−20−09).
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:

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.
NOTE: If there is a conflict between this Part 1 − General Information and the specific
procedure in Part 7 of this Manual (NDTM), the specific procedure takes
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.
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.
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.

NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING MANUAL
Part 1 − General Information
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).
F. After Magnetization
After each magnetization, examine the part thoroughly for particle indications.
9. Evaluation of Indications
(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.
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.
A. Equipment Tests
(b) Place a certified black light meter (that reads in mW/cm2) on the work surface in
the center of the black light beam. Adjust the height of the lamp to establish a
15−inch (38−cm) distance from the filter of the black light lamp to the photo
cell of the black light meter.
(c) Move the black light meter horizontally along the work surface until the highest
reading is obtained.
(d) Minimum black light intensity at a distance of 15 in. (38 cm) is 1000 mW/cm2.

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.

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.
8. Penetrant Application
A. For the recommended selection of penetrant sensitivity level and method, Refer to
Table 2.
(1) Penetrant is applied by spraying, dipping, flowing or brushing to provide good even
coverage of the part or area under examination.
(2) During and after penetrant application, the parts are positioned so as to permit
adequate drainage and prevent accumulation of pools of penetrant.
(3) The component, penetrant, and ambient temperatures must all be in the range of 40
to 120 °F (4 to 49 °C).
(4) The penetrant applied to parts under examination must not be allowed to dry on the
surfaces. Replenish surfaces with fresh penetrant before drying occurs.
(5) For components that are immersed in penetrant, the immersion time must not
exceed half the total dwell time. Refer to Table 3 for dwell times.
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.

Part 1 − General Information
(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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

(INTEGRAL OR SEPARATE)
− 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.

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).
