Penetrant Examination (PT)
Examination with penetrant liquids reveals open discontinuities on the surface, even on areas that are difficult to see during visual inspection. The method is fast, sensitive and efficient, suitable for a wide range of materials and complex geometries.
Main applications:
Detection of open discontinuities, including those that are visually invisible
Inspection of welded joints made of non-ferrous materials (ceramics, aluminum, etc.)
Types of examinations:
Penetrating liquids contrast
Penetrating liquids fluorescent (with UV light)
Advantages:
Very sensitive to small discontinuities
Few usage limitations
Fast execution and low costs
Complex geometries can also be tested
Used equipments:
Cleaning agent and water to remove excess penetrant
Red or fluorescent penetrant
Developer
UV lamp and lux meter
At AMG Welding Training SRL, we apply each examination with professionalism and attention to details, ensuring safe and accurate results for every project.
