In Liquid Penetrant, the test object or material is coated with a visible or fluorescent dye solution. The excess dye is removed from the surface and a developer which acts like a blotter is applied drawing penetrant out of imperfections open to the surface. With visible dyes, the vivid colour contrast between the penetrant and the developer is used. With fluorescent dyes an ultraviolet lamp is used to make the ‘bleed out’ fluoresce brightly allowing the imperfection to be seen readily.
Typical Applications - Inspection of Castings - Inspection of Forgings - Inspection of Welds - Inspection of Aerospace Components
Industries that use Liquid Penetrant Testing - Service Inspection Companies - Smelters & Foundries - Rolling & Forging Mills - Petro Chemical & Refineries - Mining & Mineral Processing - Aircraft Maintenance & Manufacturing - Vehicle Maintenance & Manufacturing - Government Bodies - Engineering Firms - Research & Development Facilities - Education & Training - Equipment Manufacture & Sales - Maintenance, Service & Repair of Equipment
