• Definition
–
Liquid penetrant testing is a non-destructivemethod mean of locating and determining theseverity of surface discontinuities that areopen to the surface of solid and essentiallynon - porous material, is based uponcapillarity action.

• Brief Historical background of LiquidPenetrant Testing
19th century - Oil non colour penetrant
– Railroad industries - Rods, axles, crank pins
1938 - Colour dye penetrant 1941 - Flourescent penetrant
1957 - Post Emulsification penetrant

– ii. Penetration : Applying the penetrant
– iii. Wash : Removing the excesspenetrant
– iv. Development : Applying the developer
–
v. Inspection, Interpretation,Evaluation and Record
– vi. Post-cleaning

• Indication/recording method Direct visual observation for dye penetrant
Black light for fluoresent• Interpretation basis
Direct indication(dependent on propermethods for application of penetrant anddeveloper)
• Discontinuities/separations Surface cracks, laminations, laps, seams,
pinholes, laps, cold shuts and leaks

• Advantages and limitation
• Advantages
The geometry and size of the part is not alimitation.
The indication appears directly on the testsurface.
Simple and economic method.
