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 isremo

19、ved with water and the surface is dried prior to theapplication of a developer. A developer is then applied,drawing the entrapped penetrant out of the discontinuities andstaining the developer. If an aqueous developer is to beemployed, the developer is applied prior to the drying step.After applicat

20、ion of the developer, a suitable development timeis allowed to permit the entrapped penetrant to exit from thediscontinuities. The test surface is then examined visuallyunder adequate illumination to determine the presence orabsence of indications.4.2 The selection of specific water-washable penetra

21、nt pro-cess parameters depends upon the nature of the application,conditions under which the examination is to be performed,availability of processing equipment, and type of materials toperform the examination. (WarningA controlled method forapplying water and disposing of the water is essential.)4.

22、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 condition, alloy) and type of discontinuitiesexpected.5. Significance and Use5.1 Liquid penetrant examina

23、tion methods indicate the pres-ence, location, and, to a limited extent, the nature and magni-tude of the detected discontinuities. This practice is normallyused for production examination of large volumes of parts orstructures, where emphasis is on productivity. This practiceoffers a wide latitude

24、in applicability when extensive andcontrolled conditions are available.6.

25、e (see Note 1).(WarningWhile approved penetrant materials will not ad-versely affect common metallic materials, some plastics orrubber may be swollen or stained by certain penetrants.)NOTE 1Refer to 8.1 for special requirements for sulfur, halogen, andalkali metal content.6.2 Water-Washable Penetran

26、ts, designed to be directlywater-washable from the surface of the part, after a suitablepenetrant dwell time. Because the emulsifier is “built-in” to thewater-washable penetrant, it is extremely important to exerciseproper process control in removing excess penetrant to ensureagainst overwashing. Wa

27、ter-washable penetrants can bewashed out of discontinuities if the washing step is too long ortoo vigorous. Some penetrants are less resistant to overwashingthan others.6.3 DevelopersDevelopment of penetrant indications isthe process of bringing the penetrant out of open discontinui-ties through the

28、 blotting action of the applied developer, thusincreasing the visibility of the penetrant indications. Severaltypes of developers are suitable for use in the visible penetrantwater-washable process.6.3.1 Aqueous Developers, normally supplied as dry powderparticles to be either suspended or dissolved

29、 (soluble) in water.The concentration, use, and maintenance shall be in accordancewith the manufacturers recommendations (see 7.1.7.1).(WarningAqueous developers may cause stripping of indi-cations, if not properly applied and controlled. The procedureshould be qualified in accordance with 9.2.)6.3.

30、2 Nonaqueous, Wet Developers, normally supplied assuspensions of developer particles in a volatile solvent carrierand are ready for use as supplied. They are applied to thesurface by spraying after the excess penetrant has beenremoved and the surface has dried. Nonaqueous wet develop-ers form a whit

31、e coating on the surface of the part when driedand serve as a contrasting background for visible penetrants(see 7.1.7.2). (WarningThis type of developer is intendedfor application by spray only.)6.3.3 Liquid Film Developers, solutions or colloidal suspen-sions of resins/polymer in a suitable carrier

32、. These developerswill form a transparent or translucent coating on the surface ofthe part. Certain types of film developers will fix indicationsand may be stripped from the part and retained for recordpurposes (see section 7.1.7.3).3Available from TheAmerican Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASN

34、005.E1418 1027. Procedure7.1 The following general procedures applies to the water-washable, visible penetrant examination method (see Fig. 1).7.1.1 Temperature LimitsThe temperature of the penetrantmaterials and the surface of the part to be processed should befrom 40 to 125F (4 to 52C). When it is

35、 not practical tocomply with these temperature limitations, the procedure mustbe qualified at the temperature of intended use as described in9.2.7.1.2 Surface Conditioning Prior to PenetrantExaminationSatisfactory results can usually be obtained onsurfaces in the as-welded, as-rolled, as-cast, or as

36、-forgedconditions (or for ceramics in the densified condition). Whenonly loose surface residuals are present, these may be removedby wiping with a clean lint-free cloth. However, pre-cleaningof metals to remove processing residuals such as oil, graphite,scale, insulating materials, coatings, etc. sh

37、ould be done usingcleaning solvents, vapor degreasing, or chemical removingprocesses. Surface conditioning by grinding, machining, pol-ishing, or etching shall follow shot, sand, grit, and vaporblasting to remove the peened skin, and when penetrantentrapment in surface irregularities might mask the

38、indicationsof unacceptable discontinuities or otherwise interfere with theeffectiveness of the examination. For metals unless otherwisespecified, perform etching when evidence exists that previouscleaning, surface treatments, or service usage have produced asurface condition that degrades the effect

39、iveness of penetrantexamination. (See Annex A1.1.1.8 in Test Method E165 forprecautions).NOTE 2When agreed between purchaser and supplier, grit blastingwithout subsequent etching may be an acceptable cleaning method.(WarningSand or shot blasting may possibly close indications andIncoming PartsPRECLE

43、otential for damage.7.1.3 Removal of Surface Contaminants:7.1.3.1 PrecleaningThe success of any penetrant exami-nation procedure is greatly dependent upon the surface anddiscontinuity being free of any contaminant (solid or liquid)that might interfere with the penetrant process. All parts orareas of

44、 parts to be examined must be clean and dry before thepenetrant is applied. If only a section of a part, such as weld,including the heat affected zone is to be examined, remove allcontaminants from the area being examined as defined by thecontracting parties.“ Clean” is intended to mean that thesurf

45、ace must be free of rust, scale, welding flux, spatter, grease,paint, oily films, dirt, etc., that might interfere with penetration.All of these contaminants can prevent the penetrant fromentering discontinuities. (See the annex on cleaning of partsand materials in Test Method E165 for more detailed

46、 cleaningmethods.) (WarningResidues from cleaning processes suchas strong alkalies, pickling solutions, and chromates, in par-ticular, may adversely react with the penetrant and reduce itssensitivity and performance.)7.1.3.2 Drying After CleaningIt is essential that the sur-faces be thoroughly dry a

47、fter cleaning, since any liquid residuewill hinder the entrance of the penetrant. Drying may beaccomplished by warming the parts in drying ovens, withinfrared lamps, forced hot or cold air, or by exposure toambient temperature.7.1.4 Penetrant ApplicationsAfter the area to be exam-ined has been clean

48、ed, dried, and is within the specifiedtemperature range, apply the penetrant to the surface to beexamined so that the entire part or area under examination iscompletely covered with penetrant.7.1.4.1 Modes of ApplicationThere are various modes ofeffective application of penetrant such as immersion,

49、brushing,flooding, or spraying. Small parts are quite often placed insuitable baskets and dipped into a tank of penetrant. On largerparts, and those with complex geometries, penetrant can beapplied effectively by brushing or spraying. Both conventionaland electrostatic spray guns are appropriate means of applyingliquid penetrants to the part surfaces. Electrostatic sprayapplication can eliminate excess liquid build-up of penetrant onthe surface, minimize overspray, and minimize the amount ofpenetrant entering hollow-cored passages that might serve aspenetrant re
