The document provides acceptance standards for liquid penetrant examination (PT) to evaluate indications of imperfections. Only indications greater than 1/16 in. shall be considered relevant. A linear indication must be longer than three times its width. A rounded indication must have a length equal to or less than three times its width. Surfaces must be free of relevant linear indications, relevant rounded indications greater than 3/16 in., and four or more relevant rounded indications within 1/16 in. of each other.
