Summary
Liquid penetrant testing is a method of nondestructive testing. It finds surface-breaking defects in materials. Students learn about the process, its advantages and disadvantages, and how to use it.
Liquid Penetrant Testing Basics
Liquid penetrant testing finds flaws that break the surface of a material. It cannot find flaws hidden inside. Students learn how to prepare a surface for testing.
Discontinuities in Materials
Discontinuities are flaws that can happen when a material is made or used. They can be caused by many processes, including casting, welding, and machining. Service discontinuities happen while the material is in use.
Automated and Semiautomated Equipment
Automated systems process materials through several steps without an operator. They are custom designed for high volume processing. Semiautomated systems have some manual steps. Human inspectors are usually needed to evaluate results.
False and Nonrelevant Indications
False and nonrelevant indications can be caused by part geometry and surface condition. They can also be caused by improper handling of parts. Students learn how to prevent and evaluate these indications.
Key terms
- Discontinuities
- Flaws that can happen when a material is made or used.
- Developer
- A substance that draws penetrant out of a flaw to make it visible.
- Wetting action
- The ability of a liquid to spread over and adhere to solid surfaces.
- Visible light
- Electromagnetic radiation in the 400 to 700 nm wavelength range.
- Water tolerance
- The amount of water that a penetrant or emulsifier can absorb before its effectiveness is impaired.
- Temperature envelope
- The temperature range over which a particular penetrant inspection test will operate.
