Penetrant Testing (PT) is used to detect casting, forging and welding surface defects such as hairline
cracks, surface porosity, leaks in new products, and fatigue cracks on in-service components.
PT is a nondestructive examination method used to locate surface breaking discontinuities in non-porous materials (metals, plastics, or ceramics). This method may be applied to ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
Penetrant Testing (PT).
Application
- Welds and weld overlays, castings and forgings, valves and their components, machined parts, pressure vessels, clad vessel linings, and structural steel.
- New fabrication weld inspection.
- Code compliant inspection.
- ASME Section V for pressure vessels.
- ASME B31.1 and B31.3 for piping.
- API 1104 for pipelines.
- In-service welds.
- Ferrous and non-ferrous components.
Advantages
- High visibility of indications.
- Low cost and fast results.
- Field Ready.
- Highly portable tools can be used in most locations.
- Can operate with battery power as well as supplied power when available.
