Liquid (dye) penetrant examination

Liquid (dye) penetrant examination

Liquid (dye) penetrant examination

(OP)
Dear Members,

I am trying to put together a procedure for inspecting parts for surface cracking, liquid penetrant in particular. I would like to know if someone can guide me to the source for a step by step procedure.

Is ASTM E165 a good source for this? I don't have the standard but I'll buy it if it has, in fact, what I'm looking for.

have a great week,
toriche   

RE: Liquid (dye) penetrant examination

Depends on whom you are trying to satisfy with your procedure.  E165 has general procedure "flowsheets" addressing the basic elements but ASME V Article 6 is more comprehensive in defining the contents of a procedure as is EN 571-1.

RE: Liquid (dye) penetrant examination

As Sjones said, it depends upon what spec you are trying to meet.  If it is ASME, Section V is the rule.  If not, order ASTM Volume 03.03 containing all of the standards applicable to NDT and PT.  There are about eight of them for PT.
