Terminology3.1 Definitionsdefinitions relating to liquid penetranttesting, which appear in Termi

22、nology E1316, shall apply to theterms used in this practice.NOTE 1Throughout this practice, the term blacklight has beenchanged to UV-A to conform with the latest terminology in TerminologyE1316. Blacklight can mean a broad range of ultraviolet radiation;fluorescent penetrant testing only uses the U

23、V-A range.4. Summary of Practice4.1 A liquid penetrant is applied evenly over the surfacebeing examined and allowed to enter open discontinuities.After a suitable dwell time, the excess surface penetrant isremoved with water and the surface is dried prior to theapplication of a dry or nonaqueous dev

24、eloper. A developer isthen applied, drawing the entrapped penetrant out of thediscontinuity and staining the developer. If an aqueous devel-oper is to be employed, the developer is applied prior to thedrying step. The test surface is then examined visually underUV-Aradiation in a darkened area to de

25、termine the presence orabsence of indications. (WarningFluorescent penetrant test-ing shall not follow a visible penetrant testing unless theprocedure has been qualified in accordance with 9.2, becausevisible dyes may cause deterioration or quenching of fluores-cent dyes.)NOTE 2The developer may be

26、omitted by agreement betweenpurchaser and supplier.4.2 The selection of particular water-washable penetrantprocess parameters depends upon the nature of the application,condition under which the examination is to be performed,availability of processing equipment, and type of materials toperform the

27、examination. (WarningA controlled method forapplying water and disposing of the water is essential.)4.3 Processing parameters, such as precleaning, penetrationtime, and wash times, are determined by the specific materialsused, the nature of the part under examination (that is, size,shape, surface co

28、ndition, alloy), and type of discontinuitiesexpected.5. Significance and Use5.1 Liquid penetrant testing methods indicate the presence,location, and, to a limited extent, the nature and magnitude ofthe detected discontinuities. This method is normally used forproduction inspection of large volumes o

29、f parts or structures,where emphasis is on productivity. The method enjoys a widelatitude in applicability when extensive and controlled condi-tions are available. Multiple levels of sensitivity can beachieved by proper selection of materials and variations inprocess.6. Reagents and Materials6.1 Liq

30、uid Fluorescent Penetrant Testing Materials(see Note 3) for use in the water-washable process consist of afamily of fluorescent water-washable penetrants and appropri-ate developers and are classified as Type I Fluorescent, MethodAWater-Washable. Penetrants shall conform to AMS 2644unless approved b

31、y the contract or Level III. Intermixing ofmaterials from various manufacturers is not recommended.NOTE 3Refer to 8.1 for special requirements for sulfur, halogen, andalkali metal content. (WarningWhile approved penetrant materials willnot adversely affect common metallic materials, some plastics or

32、 rubbersmay be swollen or stained by certain penetrants.)6.2 Water-Washable Penetrants are designed to be directlywater-washable from the surface of the test part after a suitablepenetrant dwell time. Because the emulsifier is “built-in” to thewater-washable penetrant, it is extremely important to e

33、xerciseproper process control in removal of excess surface penetrantto assure against overwashing. Water-washable penetrants canbe washed out of discontinuities if the rinsing step is too longor too vigorous. Some penetrants are less resistant to over-washing than others.6.3 DevelopersDevelopment of

34、 penetrant indications isthe process of bringing the penetrant out of open discontinui-ties through blotting action of the applied developer, thusincreasing the visibility of the penetrant indications. Severaltypes of developers are suitable for use with the fluorescentpenetrant water-washable proce

35、ss. (WarningAqueous de-velopers may cause stripping of indications if not properlyapplied and controlled. The procedure shall be qualified inaccordance with 9.2.)4Available from TheAmerican Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT), P.O.Box 28518, 1711 Arlingate Lane, Columbus, OH 43228-0518.5Availa

39、pen-sions of developer particles in nonaqueous, solvent carriersready for use as supplied. Nonaqueous, wet developers form acoating on the surface of the part when dried, which serves asthe developing medium for fluorescent penetrants (see7.1.7.1(c). (WarningThis type of developer is intended forapp

Thesedevelopers will form a transparent or translucent coating on thesurface of the part. Certain types of film developer will fixindications and may be stripped from t

Procedure7.1 The following general procedure applies to the fluores-cent penetrant testing water-washable method (see Fig. 1).7.1.1 Temperature LimitsThe temperature of the penetrantmaterials and the surface of the part to be processed shoul

42、d bebetween 40 and 125F (4 and 52C). Where it is not practicalto comply with these temperature limitations, qualify theprocedure at the temperature of intended use as described in9.2.7.1.2 Surface Conditioning Prior to Penetrant InspectionSatisfactory results can usually be obtained on surfaces in t

43、heas-welded, as-rolled, as-cast, or as-forged conditions or forceramics in the densified condition. The more sensitive pen-etrants are generally less easily rinsed away and are thereforeless suitable for rougher surfaces. When only loose surfaceresiduals are present, these may be removed by wiping t

44、hesurface with clean lint-free cloths. However, precleaning ofmetals to remove processing residuals such as oil, graphite,scale, insulating materials, coatings, and so forth, should bedone using cleaning solvents, vapor degreasing, or chemicalremoving processes. Surface conditioning by grinding,mach

45、ining, polishing, or etching shall follow shot, sand, grit,and vapor blasting to remove the peened skin and whenpenetrant entrapment in surface irregularities might mask theindications of unacceptable discontinuities or otherwise inter-fere with the effectiveness of the examination. For metals,unles
