Terminology3.1 The definitions relating to liquid penetrant examination,which appear in Terminology E 1316, shall apply to the termsused in this standard.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A liquid penetrant which m

18、ay be a visible or a fluores-cent material is applied evenly over the surface being examinedand allowed to enter open discontinuities. After a suitabledwell time, the excess surface penetrant is removed. A devel-oper is applied to draw the entrapped penetrant out of thediscontinuity and stain the de

19、veloper. The test surface is thenexamined to determine the presence or absence of indications.NOTE 1The developer may be omitted by agreement between pur-chaser and supplier.NOTE 2Caution: Fluorescent penetrant examination shall not followa visible penetrant examination unless the procedure has been

20、 qualified inaccordance with 10.2, because visible dyes may cause deterioration orquenching of fluorescent dyes.4.2 Processing parameters, such as surface precleaning,penetration time and excess penetrant removal methods, aredetermined by the specific materials used, the nature of the partunder exam

21、ination, (that is, size, shape, surface condition,alloy) and type of discontinuities expected.5. Significance and Use5.1 Liquid penetrant examination methods indicate the pres-ence, location and, to a limited extent, the nature and magni-tude of the detected discontinuities. Each of the variousmetho

22、ds has been designed for specific uses such as criticalservice items, volume of parts, portability or localized areas ofexamination. The method selected will depend accordingly onthe service requirements.6. Classification of Penetrations and Methods6.1 Liquid penetrant examination methods and types

23、areclassified as shown in Table 1.6.2 Fluorescent penetrant examination utilizes penetrantsthat fluoresce brilliantly when excited by black light (see8.9.1.2). The sensitivity of fluorescent penetrants depends ontheir ability to be retained in the various size discontinuitiesduring processing, then

24、to bleed out into the developer coatingand produce indications that will fluoresce. Fluorescent indi-cations are many times brighter than their surroundings whenviewed under black light illumination.6.3 Visible penetrant examination uses a penetrant that canbe seen in visible light. The penetrant is

25、 usually red, so that theindications produce a definite contrast with the white back-ground of the developer. The visible penetrant process does notrequire the use of black light. However, visible penetrantindications must be viewed under adequate white light (see8.9.2.1).7. Types of Materials7.1 Li

26、quid penetrant examination materials (see Notes 3and 4) consist of fluorescent and visible penetrants, emulsifiers(oil-base and water-base), solvent removers and developers. Afamily of liquid penetrant examination materials consists of theapplicable penetrant and emulsifier or remover, as recom-mend

27、ed by the manufacturer. Intermixing of penetrants andemulsifiers from various manufacturers is not recommended.NOTE 3Refer to 9.1 for special requirements for sulfur, halogen andalkali metal content.NOTE 4Caution: While approved penetrant materials will not ad-versely affect common metallic material

28、s, some plastics or rubbers may beswollen or stained by certain penetrants.7.2 Penetrants:7.2.1 Post-Emulsifiable Penetrants are designed to be in-soluble in water and cannot be removed with water rinsingalone. They are designed to be selectively removed from thesurface using a separate emulsifier.

29、The emulsifier, properlyapplied and given a proper emulsification time, combines withthe excess surface penetrant to form a water-washable mixture,which can be rinsed from the surface, leaving the surface freeof fluorescent background. Proper emulsification time must beexperimentally established and

30、 maintained to ensure thatover-emulsification does not occur, resulting in loss of indica-tions.7.2.2 Water-Washable Penetrants are designed to be di-rectly water-washable from the surface of the test part, after asuitable penetrant dwell time. Because the emulsifier is “built-in” to the water-washa

31、ble penetrant, it is extremely importantto exercise proper process control in removal of excess surfacepenetrant to ensure against overwashing. Water-washable pen-etrants can be washed out of discontinuities if the rinsing stepis too long or too vigorous. Some penetrants are less resistantto overwas

32、hing than others.7.2.3 Solvent-Removable Penetrants are designed so thatexcess surface penetrant can be removed by wiping until mostof the penetrant has been removed.

35、22should be removed with the solvent remover (see 8.6.4.1). Tominimize removal of penetrant from discontinuities, careshould be taken to avoid the use of excess solvent. Flushing thesurface with solvent to remove the excess penetrant is prohib-ited.7.3 Emulsifiers:7.3.1 Lipophilic Emulsifiers are oi

36、l-miscible liquids used toemulsify the excess oily penetrant on the surface of the part,rendering it water-washable. The rate of diffusion establishesthe emulsification time. They are either slow- or fast-acting,depending on their viscosity and chemical composition, andalso the surface roughness of

37、the area being examined (see8.6.2).7.3.2 Hydrophilic Emulsifiers are water-miscible liquidsused to emulsify the excess oily fluorescent penetrant on thesurface of the part, rendering it water-washable (see 8.6.3).These water-base emulsifiers (detergent-type removers) aresupplied as concentrates to b

38、e diluted with water and used as adip or spray. The concentration, use and maintenance shall bein accordance with manufacturers recommendations.7.3.2.1 Hydrophilic emulsifiers function by displacing theexcess penetrant film from the surface of the part throughdetergent action. The force of the water

39、 spray or air/mechanicalagitation in an open dip tank provides the scrubbing actionwhile the detergent displaces the film of penetrant from the partsurface. The emulsification time will vary, depending on itsconcentration, which can be monitored by the use of a suitablerefractometer.7.4 Solvent Remo

40、vers function by dissolving the penetrant,making it possible to wipe the surface clean and free of excesspenetrant as described in 8.6.1.2 and 8.6.4.7.5 DevelopersDevelopment of penetrant indications isthe process of bringing the penetrant out of open discontinui-ties through blotting action of the

41、applied developer, thusincreasing the visibility of the indications.7.5.1 Dry Powder Developers are used as supplied (that is,free-flowing, non-caking powder) in accordance with 8.8.2.Care should be taken not to contaminate the developer withfluorescent penetrant, as the penetrant specks can appear

42、asindications.7.5.2 Aqueous Developers are normally supplied as drypowder particles to be either suspended or dissolved (soluble)in water. The concentration, use and maintenance shall be inaccordance with manufacturers recommendations (see 8.8.3).NOTE 5Caution: Aqueous developers may cause stripping

43、 of indica-tions if not properly applied and controlled. The procedure should bequalified in accordance with 10.2.7.5.3 Nonaqueous Wet Developers are supplied as suspen-sions of developer particles in a nonaqueous solvent carrierready for use as supplied. Nonaqueous, wet developers form acoating on

44、the surface of the part when dried, which serves asthe developing medium (see 8.8.4).NOTE 6Caution: This type of developer is intended for applicationby spray only.7.5.4 Liquid Film Developers are solutions or colloidalsuspensions of resins/polymer in a suitable carrier. Thesedevelopers will form a

45、transparent or translucent coating on thesurface of the part. Certain types of film developer may bestripped from the part and retained for record purposes (see8.8.5).8. Procedure8.1 The following processing guidelines apply to bothfluorescent and visible penetrant examination methods (seeFigs. 1-3)

46、.8.2 Temperature LimitsThe temperature of the penetrantmaterials and the surface of the part to be processed should bebetween 40 and 125F (4 and 52C). Where it is not practicalto comply with these temperature limitations, qualify theprocedure as described in 10.2 at the temperature of intendeduse an

47、d as agreed to by the contracting parties.8.3 Surface Conditioning Prior to Penetrant ExaminationSatisfactory results usually may be obtained on surfaces in theas-welded, as-rolled, as-cast, or as-forged conditions (or forceramics in the densified conditions). Sensitive penetrants aregenerally less

48、easily rinsed away and are therefore less suitablefor rough surfaces. When only loose surface residuals arepresent, these may be removed by wiping with clean lint-freecloths. However, precleaning of metals to remove processingresiduals such as oil, graphite, scale, insulating materials,coatings, and

49、 so forth, should be done using cleaning solvents,vapor degreasing or chemical removing processes. Surfaceconditioning by grinding, machining, polishing or etching shallfollow shot, sand, grit or vapor blasting to remove the peenedskin and when penetrant entrapment in surface irregularitiesmight mask the indications of unacceptable discontinuities orotherwise interfere with the effectiveness of the examination.For metals, unless otherwise specified, etching shall be per-formed when evidence exists that previous cleaning, surfacetreatments or service usage have p
