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.
Applications
This test is applicable to the following infraestructures:
- Welds and weld overlays, castings and forgings, valves and their components, machined parts, pressure vessels, clad vessel linings, and structural steel
- New fabrication welds and in-service welds
- Ferrous and non-ferrous components
- Code compliant inspection ASME Section V for pressure vessels, ASME B31.1 and B31.3 for piping and API 1104 for pipelines
