Know About Liquid Penetrant Testing Fundamentals

Understanding the basics

Penetrant testing, also known as dye penetrant inspection (DPI) or liquid penetrant inspection (LPI), is a widely used method of non-destructive testing (NDT) to detect cracks, surface breaks, and other defects in various materials. This guide aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the basics of penetrant testing, including the process, types, and applications.

Procedure for Penetrant Testing

  1. Preclean the part. Ensure that no dirt, grease, or any other contaminants are present that could potentially affect the results.
  2. Identify any visible defects or anomalies.
  3. Apply penetrant. Use methods such as spraying, brushing, or immersing the object in the penetrant.
  4. After suitable dwell time, remove excess penetrant.
  5. Apply developer. This final step helps to draw the liquid out and spread it over the surface, making it easier to see under UV light for fluorescent or visible light for red colour dye.
  6. Post clean to remove DPT materials from surface to avoid corrosion.

Types of Penetrant Testing

There are several types of penetrant testing, each with its own unique properties and applications. These include:

  • Water-washable: This type of penetrant testing is easy to remove with water and is commonly used for large, non-porous components.
  • Post-emulsifiable: This requires an emulsifier to be applied before the excess penetrant can be removed. It provides more sensitivity than water-washable penetrants.
  • Solvent-removable: This type of penetrant is removed using a solvent. It’s typically used for small, intricate parts where water washing isn’t practical.

Applications

 

Penetrant testing is used in a wide range of industries and applications, including:

  • Aerospace: To detect surface defects in aircraft components.
  • Automotive: To check for cracks in engine components.
  • Construction: To inspect welds on steel structures.
  • Power generation: To identify defects in turbine blades.

In conclusion, penetrant testing is a highly versatile and effective method of non-destructive testing. By understanding the basics, you can better appreciate its value and potential applications in various industries. DPT is a reliable method for testing aerospace hardware. Aircraft components are routinely tested during MRO inspections to find fatigue cracks. Our Labs are specially equipped with NADCAP accredited FPI testing. 

 

Codes and Standards

Even though there are numerous standards on PT testing, ASTM standards ASTM E 165, ASTM E 1417 and ISO3452 are widely recognized. Apart from this, ASME pressure vessel code Section V, API Codes, AWS codes, BS, EN standards provide procedures, personnel, equipment needs and acceptance criteria.

Trinity NDT – Testing Labs uses its ASNT and NAS410 Level III approved procedures that meets international standards, codes and customer specifications.
