PT

The document discusses penetrant testing (PT) including the code of standards, methods and practices, specific parameters, and limitations. It outlines the steps of PT which are cleaning, etching, applying penetrant, removing penetrant, applying developer, drying parts, examining parts, and post-cleaning. It also lists parameters for things like penetrant and ambient temperatures, dwell time, water pressure and temperature for washing, and air pressure if using hydro-air nozzles.

INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT 2

PENETRANT TESTING (PT)

1.

a) Code of Standards: E1417 – 99 (Standard Practice for Liquid Penetrant Examination)


b) Method and practices:
 Cleaning
 Etching
 Apply penetrant
 Remove penetrant
 Apply developer
 Dry parts
 Examine parts
 Post-cleaning

c) Specific parameters

 Penetrant examination processes and materials are classified in accordance with


the material classification contained in MIL-I-26135 or AMS 2644.
 Only materials listed or approved for listing on QPL-25135 or QPL-AMS 2644
shall be utilized for penetrant examination.
 The component, penetrant and ambient temperatures shall all be in the range
from 40 to 125 °F (4 to 52°C) unless otherwise specified.
 The dwell time shall be a minimum of 10 minutes, whereas for temperatures
between 40 and 50°F (4.4 and 10°C), the dwell time shall be a minimum of 20
minutes.
 Water pressure adequate to remove the penetrant shall be used but shall not
exceed 40 psi (275 kPa).
 Water temperature shall be between 50 to 100°F (10 to 38°C).
 If hydro-air nozzles are used the air pressure shall not exceed 25 psi (172 kPa).
 A coarse spray shall be used with a minimum distance of 12 in. (30 cm).
 As for automated spray systems, the wash parameters shall be such that the
requirements of this practice are met. Water temperature shall be maintained
between 50 to 100°F (10 to 38°C).
 Immersion wash may be utilized if the water is air agitated and good circulation
is maintained throughout the wash operation. Water temperature shall be
maintained between 50 and 100°F (10 to 38°F).

d) Limitation

 This practice establishes the minimum requirements for conducting liquid


penetrant examination of nonporous metal and nonmetal components.
 These processes are only applicable for the detection of discontinuities, such as
lack of fusion, corrosion, cracks, laps, cold shuts and porosity, that are open or
connected to the surface of the component under examination.
