Non-destructive Testing

FLUORESCENT PENETRANT TESTING (PT)

These test method is used to detect discontinuities, e.g. cracks, laps, folds, porosity and lack of fusion, which are open to the surface of the material to be tested. It is mainly applied to metallic materials, but can also be performed on other materials, provided that they are inert to the test media and not excessively porous (castings, forgings, welds, ceramics, etc.)

Equipment: Semiautomatic penetrant line with pre- or subsequent ultrasonic cleaning

Standards: ISO 3452-1, ISO 9583, ISO 9712, EN 10228
