used on ...

A. all materials.

B. non-porous materials.

C. porous materials.
13. Dye Penetrants are normally classified by ...

A. lighting conditions for inspection and the way the

penetrant is removed.

B. colour of indication and way developer is applied.

C. the way the penetrant and developer is removed.

14. Magnetic Particle Flaw Detection is usually good for
detecting ....

A. Sub-surface defects only

B. Surface detects only

C. Surface and slight sub-surface defects

15. Defects revealed by magnetic particle inspection
show up best ...

A. in Ultra Violet light.

16. During removal of post emulsifiable dye penetrants ...

A. the emulsifier is applied after the penetration time

B. the emulsifier is applied after the penetrant is dry

C. Lipophilic removers are used, mixed with water

17. One disadvantage of dye penetrant flaw detection is ...

A. it can only detect surface breaking faults

B. it cannot be used on non-ferrous materials

C. parts can only be tested when removed

18. The power source generally used in Eddy current
NDT testing is ...

A. a direct current at a suitable frequency is applied to a

coil in a probe.

B. an alternating current at a suitable frequency is applied

to a coil in a probe.

C. a direct current at a suitable voltage is applied to a coil

in a probe.
19. An Eddy current NDT tester can generally be used
on ...

A. ferrous metals.

B. non-ferrous metals.

C. any metals.
20. The Magnetic Particle Inspection testing the part
must be demagnetised ...
