Liquid Penetrant Testing: Detecting Surface Discontinuities with Precision
Liquid penetrant testing (PT) is a highly effective Non-destructive testing method for detecting surface discontinuities in a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, ceramics, and composites. At ITNOG, our highly trained and skilled staff use PT to detect surface cracks, porosity, laps, and other surface defects that could lead to product failure or compromise the integrity of a structure or component.
Our staff is well-versed in various industry standards for PT, including:
- ASTM E 165: Standard Test Method for Liquid Penetrant Examination
- ASME Section V: Nondestructive Examination
- ISO 3452-1: Non-destructive testing — Penetrant testing — Part 1: General principles
We use high-quality penetrant materials and advanced equipment to ensure accurate and reliable results. Our staff can perform PT on a variety of components, including welds, castings, forgings, and machined parts.
At ITNOG, we also offer PT training courses to help individuals and organizations develop their skills and knowledge in this important nondestructive testing method. Our training covers the fundamentals of PT, including theory, principles, procedures, and applications. We also provide hands-on training and practical experience to ensure that participants are well-prepared to perform PT in their respective fields.
