3. Easy to use; suitable for quick inspections.
4. No special equipment is required.
5. Flaw detectability is high, bringing about highly reliable results.
● Applicable materials
* Ferrous materials : Mild steels, high tensile steels, stainless steel,
aluminium, brass, various other alloys.
* Non-ferrous materials : Ceramics, glass, synthetic resins.
● Method of Application
Item Figure Application
Remove oil, grease and dirt off the test
Pre-cleaning surface with the remover to let flaws open,
and then dry the surface well.
Apply the dye penetrant over the test
surface. Normal dwelling time is the range
Penetration of 5 to 20 minutes. If the test is performed
under cold temperatures, increase the
dwelling time.
Wipe off superficial dye penentrant with a
waste soaked with the remover. If you
Cleaning
used the water washable penetrant, spray
shower water.
Apply a thin coat of the well agitated
developer to the test surface.
Developing
Normal developing time is 7 to 30 minutes.
Evaluate flaw indication after the developer
has dried.
