Penetrant Testing
Penetrant Properties n Surface Tension and Wetting ability P = 2 S Cos W A good penetrant should have high surface tension and a small contact angle
Viscosity Affects the rate at which penetrant enters a defect The more viscous the penetrant the slower it enter openings OIL GREASE
Flash Point Temperature recorded Flash point The minimum temperature at which liquid will gives off enough vapour which will flash with an sparkplug application of small flame thermometer vapour Closed container Liquid under test water PENSKE MARTEN CLOSED CUP TEST Heat
Penetrant Properties Specific Gravity n Penetrant has Lower SG than water : 0. 9 n Reason: If penetrant used in tank water will be on the bottom Typical Penetrant Tank Water Penetrant Wire mesh Contaminants Drainage
Specific Gravity Checked using a HYDROMETER Scales Water Penetrant Balast / weight
Penetrant Line
Penetrant Properties Volatility n High volatility = High rate of evaporation n A good penetrant has low volatility
Penetrant Properties Chemical inertness Maximum levels for sulphur, halogens and sodium are specified Sulphur and halogens may cause stress corrosion or intergranullar corrosion Halogens: Very reactive elements. Examples: Chlorine Iodine Bromine Fluorine
Penetrant Properties Solubility Penetrant must hold sufficient dye in solution at ambient or high temperatures n Solvent Ability Must be able to remove penetrant from specimen n
Penetrant Properties Tolerance to Contaminants n Health Hazard Toxicity Odour Skin contact n Availability and Cost n
System classification PENETRANT n Colour contrast n Fluorescent n Dual REMOVAL n Water washable n Solvent n Post emulsifiable

Control Checks n Overall system performance
Overall System Performance n n n Quench cracked aluminium alloy block Chromium plated cracked test panel Cracked test piece
COMPARATOR BLOCK ARB BLOCK- Aeronautical Registration Board Block Two sided aluminum block which been quenched – to produce thermal cracks May be used to check/compare performance of penetrant chemicals (penetrant, emulsifier, developer)
How to use the ARB block NEW OLD Two different penetrant applied on each section of block The excess penetrant is removed and developer applied Indication are observed Now process is repeat with the penetrant applied to different section OLD NEW OLD PENETRANT IS WEAK OLD PENETRANT IS OK
CHROMIUM PLATED BLOCK TAM panel or SHERWIN panel Section for checking effectiveness of cleaning Section for checking sensitivity Cleaning not effective Less sensitive
