Title
Standard Test Method for Liquid Penetrant Examination
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Feb 10, 2002
Scope:
This test method covers procedures for penetrant examination of
materials. They are nondestructive
testing methods for detecting discontinuities that are open to the
surface such as cracks, seams,
laps, cold shuts, laminations, through leaks, or lack of fusion and
are applicable to in-process,
final, and maintenance examination. They can be effectively used in
the examination of nonporous,
metallic materials, both ferrous and nonferrous, and of nonmetallic
materials such as glazed or
fully densified ceramics, certain nonporous plastics, and glass.
This test method also provides a reference:
By which a liquid penetrant examination process recommended or
required by individual organizations
can be reviewed to ascertain its applicability and completeness.
For use in the preparation of process specifications dealing with the
liquid penetrant examination
of materials and parts. Agreement by the user and the supplier
regarding specific techniques is
strongly recommended.
For use in the organization of the facilities and personnel concerned
with the liquid penetrant
examination.
This test method does not indicate or suggest criteria for evaluation
of the indications obtained.
It should be pointed out, however, that after indications have been
produced, they must be
interpreted or classified and then evaluated. For this purpose there
must be a separate code or
specification or a specific agreement to define the type, size,
location, and direction of
indications considered acceptable, and those considered unacceptable.
The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the
standard. SI units are provided for
information only.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
