Consumables
4.3.1. The test consumables shall be in accordance with the applicable Client's,
specification. In the case of Saudi Aramco material used shall be from the
list provided in Appendix V of SAEP 1145. This procedure calls for the
use of a colour-contrast type solvent-removable dye in combination with a
wet solvent-suspended developer.
4.3.2 ‘The total sulphur, chlorine and fluorine contents of the test consumables
shall be controlled to the requirements specified in ASME Section V.
Batch test certificates of conformity shall kept on file as part of the quality
in the company.
4.3.3. Consumables shall be used in sets purchased from the manufacturer,
Intermixing of brands is not allowed. Manufacturers recommendations
will be followed .Brands approved for use, include.
1, Magnaflux (Spoteheck) and
2. Brent (Ardrox).
Surface Preparation
4.1 The test surface and an area least 25.4 mm (I inch) in width on either side
of the test surface shall be free of dirt, grease, rust, lint, weld spatter and
other extrancous matter which may interfere with the effectiveness of the
test. The Penetrant Remover may be used to finally clean the surface (see
4.3.3 above). Following pre-cleaning, evaporation time of cleaners shall be
5 minutes minimum. Where indications of retained moisture exist, the
evaporation time shall be increased until no evidence of moisture in the
area of test can be detected

44.2 If the surface to be tesied is coated with paint it shall be thoroughly
cleaned off with paint thinner and solvent cleaner to ensure that the test
surface and at least 25.4 mm (1 inch) on either side is exposed for the test.
4.4.3. The temperature of the surfuce shall be between 10 and 52°C. If there is a
condition when the temperature of the test surface is beyond this range,
the effectiveness of the test shall be qualified as per ASME Section V
Article 6, Mandatory Appendix IIT.
4.5 Application of Penetrant
4.5.1. The dye penetrant shall be applied to the test surface to provide a thin
uniform coating over the entire area of interest ease shall be exercised to
ensure the test surface is fiee of cleaner after completion of pre-cleaning
operation before applying the penctrant dye. Following pre-cleaning,
evaporation time of cleaners shall be S minutes minimum. — Where
indications of retained moisture exist, the evaporation time shall be
increased until no evidence of moisture in the area of test can be detected.
4.5.2 Application may be done by means of spraying-on of the dye on the test
surface and area of interest, Alternatively application may be done by
brushing or dipping.
4.6 Dwell Time
4.6.1. A Dwell time of at least 10 minutes for welds and 20 minutes for wrought
produets like plate or forgings shall be permitted to allow for proper
penetration of the dye into the discontinuities sought to be identified.

4.7 Removal of Exeess Penetrant
4.7.1 Affer elapse of the Dwell Time, the excess penetrant shall be removed
from the area of interest. This shall be achieved by means of dry wipes
‘until most traces of penetrant have been removed. The remaining traces of
penetrant shall be removed by wiping with solvent moistened cloth or
absorbent paper. For wet wipes, the cleaner shall not be applied directly to
the test surface.
4.8 — Drying After Excess Penetrant Removal
The surface may be dried by normal evaporation or by blotting, wiping. It is
recommended to wait at Ovo minutes fo ensure that the partis dry.
4.9 Developer Application
4.9.1 Non-Aqueous wet developer shall be used. The developer must be applied
only toa dry surface after drying (paragreph 4.8)
4.9.2 The maximum time between completion of excess dye removal and
application of the developer shall not exceed 15 minutes.
4.9.3 The developer shall be applied by spraying. Application shall aim towards
imparting a thin uniform of developer on the area of interest. Blotches and
drips shall be avoided, Heavy coating of the developer shall be avoided.
4.9.4. Development Time
Development time begins as soon as the wet developer coating is dry. This is
generally indicated by the disappearance of the wet shadow of the solvent carrier.
Development time shall be between 10 minutes and 30 minutes.
4.10 Observation
4.10.1 Development of indication shall be actively observed from the time of
application of the developer. Interpretation and evaluation shall be done
after the development time (see 4.9.4 above). If bleed-out does not alter
the examination results, longer periods are permitted. If the surface to be
examined is large enough to preclude complete examination within the
prescribed or established time, the examination shall be performed in
increments.
4.10.2. A minimum light intensity of 100 foot-candles (1000 Lox) is required on
the surface to be examined.

4.10.3 The light used, technique used and the measured light intensity shall be
measured and recorded in the Report form. The measurement shall be
done using a calibrated light meter. In the case of laboratories this may be
demonstrated onc time, documented and maintained on file.
The frequeney of measuring light at laboratory shall be one year.
4.10.4 Any indication which is believed to be non-relevant shall be regarded as
relevant until reexamined to verify whether or not an actual discontinuity
is present. Mechining merks, surface roughness, mechanical conditions
and other surface conditions could cause or produce false indications. If
interpretation of the ind s difficult for any reason, the examination
shall be repeated from the beginning,
441 Reporting
4.11.1 This shall be done on the latest revision of the format appended at the end
of this document. Other formats as may be approved or specified in
Contractual Specification may be used altemative but as a minimum, all
the specified by ASME as required on the report shall appear.
4.12 Post Cleaning
4.12.1. Post cleaning may be achieved by spraying on of cleaner and / or brushing
or wiping with clean cloth.
4.12.2 Water wash method (under pressure) may also be used for this purpose.
