PENETRANT TESTING
DYE PENETRANT TESTING
LIQUID PENETRANT TESTING
Penetrant Testing:
The penetrant materials used today are much more sophisticated than the
kerosene and whiting first used by railroad inspectors near the turn of the 20th
century. Today's penetrants are carefully formulated to produce the level of
sensitivity desired by the inspector. To perform well, a penetrant must possess
a number of important characteristics.
PT CHEMICALS:
PENETRANT (Green, Red, Pink)
DEVELOPER (White)
CLEANER (Colour less)
Types of Actions:
Capillary
Blotting
Action
Effect
Capillary Action:
Blotting Effect:
The developer is having the blotting effect. So
It brings out the penetrant from the discontinuities.
It is called as Blotting effect.
Basic Principal:
Capillary Action
Procedure:
ASME Sec V Article 6
Limitations:
PT Process:
1. Surface Preparation
2. Apply the penetrant
3. Dwell time
4. Remove of Excess penetrant
5. Apply the developer
6. Inspection
7. Post cleaning
1. Surface Preparation
Surface of the job should be free from
Oil, Grease, Rust & Dust for getting the
Accurate results. This is called as surface
Preparation or Pre cleaning.
3. Dwell time
After applying the penetrant minimum 5
minutes should be given to allow the penetrant
to go into the openings of the surface of the
Job.
6. Inspection
After applied the developer immediately
visual inspection should be done up to 7
minutes. (Inspection time 7 to 30 min)
7. POST CLEANING
Post cleaning should be done after
the pt process by using cleaner and cloth.
PT METHODS:
Visible method
Fluorescent method
Fluorescent method:
In Fluorescent method we are used
fluorescent penetrant. Its radiation energy is
3650 angstrons.
PT TECHNIQUES:
1. Solvent removable method
2. Water washable method
3. Post emulsifiable method

Detergent Cleaning:
Detergent are used to clean the surface chemically.
Vapour Degreasing:
Vapour degreasing is used to remove the oil and grease from
the test surface.
Steam Cleaning:
Steam cleaning is done on the large size parts.
Solvent Cleaning:
Using the solvent remover to clean the surface.
Acid Cleaning:
Rust, Dust & Surface scales are cleaned by acids.
Paint Remover:
Paints are removed by using paint remover.
