Penetrant (ndt testing)
Dye penetrant inspection (DPI), also called liquid penetrant inspection (LPI) or penetrant testing (PT), is a widely applied & low-cost inspection method used to locate surface-breaking defects in all non-porous materials (metals, plastics, or ceramics). The penetrant may be applied to all non-ferrous materials & ferrous materials, although for ferrous components magnetic particle inspection is often used instead for its sub-surface detection capability.
A penetrant is a coating that penetrates microscopic cracks on a part for subsequent inspection.
This method is followed by an emulsion spraying cleaning process and than a developer powder process.
It is mainly used on aerospace industry to control structural part of an aircraft.
