Since Liquid Penetrant testing is capable of economically revealing surface discontinuities (variations in material composition) in a variety of dissimilar materials it is one of the most effective tools available to quality assurance personnel.
The objective of Liquid Penetrant testing is to ensure maximum reliability by providing means of :
- Obtaining a visual image related to a discontinuity on the surface of the specimen under test.
- Disclosing the nature of the discontinuity without impairing the material.
- Separating acceptable and unacceptable materials in accordance with predetermined standards.
