This presentation summarizes non-destructive testing (NDT) and focuses on liquid penetrant inspection. It defines NDT as techniques used to evaluate materials without causing damage. It outlines various NDT methods like visual inspection, magnetic particle inspection, and ultrasonic inspection. For liquid penetrant inspection, it describes the process of cleaning surfaces, applying penetrant, removing excess penetrant, applying developer, and limitations like needing surface access and very tight defects being difficult to find. The presentation was intended to inform Dr. P.K. Gupta and Prof. Arpit Rastogi on this topic.

2. NON DESTRUCTIVE TESTING
Non-destructive testing (NDT) is a wide group
of analysis techniques used in science and
technology industry to evaluate the properties
of a material, component or system without
causing damage.

3. IMPORTANCE OF NDT
 Accident prevention and to reduce costs
 To improve product reliability
 To determine acceptance to a given
requirement
 To give information on repair criteria.

4. SOME OF THE METHODS USED
 Visual Inspection
 Liquid Penetrant Inspection
 Acoustic Emission
 Magnetic Particle Inspection
 Eddy Current Inspection
 Ultrasonic Inspection
 Radiographic Inspection

5. LIQUID PENETRANT INSPECTION
 Liquid Penetrant inspection is also called as
dye penetrant inspection.
 Penetrant may be applied to the test
component by dipping, spraying, or brushing.
 After adequate penetration time, the excess
penetrant is removed, developer is applied.
 Developer helps to draw penetrant out of the
flaw where an invisible indication becomes
visible to the inspector.

6. CLEANING OF SURFACE
Section of material with crack is identified and is
cleaned with a suitable cleanser.

7. APPLICATION OF PENETRANT
The surface is allowed to get dry and penetrant is then applied on the
surface.
Penetrants are of two types:
Fluorescent
Visible
Based on the application and nature of material, any one of the
above penetrant is selected.

8. REMOVAL OF PENETRANT
The excess penetrant is removed from the surface using any of
the given methods:
Method A - Water Washable
Method B - Post-Emulsifiable, Liophilic
Method C - Solvent Removable
Method D - Post-Emulsifiable, Hydrophilic

9. APPLICATION OF DEVELOPER
The role of the developer is to pull the trapped penetrant material
out of defects and spread it out on the surface of the part so it
can be seen by an inspector. There are following types of
developers available
Dry Powder
Water Soluble
Water Suspendable
Nonaqueous Type 1 Fluorescent (Solvent Based)
Nonaqueous Type 2 Visible Dye (Solvent Based)
Special Applications

10. LIMITATIONS OF DYE PENETRANT
TESTING
 Need access to test surface
 Defects must be surface breaking
 Decontamination & pre cleaning of test
surface may be needed
 Vapour hazard
 Very tight and shallow defects difficult to find
 Depth of flaw not indicated

11. APPLICATION AREAS OF NDT
 Aerospace
 Automobile
 Bridges
 Pipeline
 Power plant
 Pressure vessel
 Rail roads
 Ship building
 Storage Tanks
