بهمن ۱۴۰۳

در شرایطی که اقتصاد کشور با چالش‌های متعدد دست‌وپنجه نرم می‌کند، دو مسئله‌ی مهم "عدم کفایت دستمزدها" و "کمبود نیروی کار" ( نظرخودم :  اشتباه بزرگ در اخراج افاغنه ) به‌طور فزاینده‌ای در حال گسترش است. این وضعیت نه‌تنها معیشت خانوارها را تحت تأثیر قرار داده، بلکه در بخش‌های مختلف تولید و خدمات نیز بحران ایجاد کرده است.

آمارهای میدانی به راحتی نشان می دهد که بسیاری از کارگران و کارمندان بر این باورند که دستمزدهای فعلی توان تأمین هزینه‌های زندگی را ندارد ( نظر خودم :  پس علت تولد نوزادهای جدید در این تورم چیست ؟  احتمالاً بخاطر دفاع از کشور در آینده ). تورم روزافزون و افزایش قیمت کالاهای اساسی باعث شده که حتی اقلام ضروری از دسترس بخش قابل‌توجهی از جامعه خارج شود. کارگران می گویند با این حقوق‌ها نمی‌توان زندگی کرد. هزینه اجاره خانه، آموزش فرزندان و خوراک هر روز بیشتر می‌شود، اما حقوق ما ثابت مانده است.


غفاری ( تامین احتماعی )  اظهار کرد: کارگر را سخت و زیان آور اعلام کردند، هیچ کجای دنیا به اندازه کشور ما بازنشسته سخت و زیان آور ندارد، و بسیاری از افراد در سنین جوانی ۳۵، ۴۰ و ۴۵ سال بازنشسته شدند.



Liquid penetrant inspection is a nondestructive testing method used to detect surface defects in materials. In this process, a liquid penetrant is applied to the surface of the material and allowed to seep رسوخ کند into any surface defects. To ensure effective penetration, the liquid must have a low surface tension. Low surface tension allows the liquid to spread evenly over the surface and penetrate into small cracks and defects. Therefore, a low surface tension is an important requirement for the liquid used in liquid penetrant inspection.




Advantages of the Penetrant Process

The following are advantages of the liquid penetrant process:

1. very small surface discontinuities can be detected,

2. a wide variety  of materials can be tested,

3. complex geometrical shapes can be inspected in a single operation,

4. various sensitivities and processing methods are available,

5. it is relatively easy to use,

6. it can be portable

7. when compared to other testing methods, it has a low cost.


Disadvantages of the Penetrant Process
The following are disadvantages of the liquid penetrant process:
1. porous materials cannot be tested
2. surfaces must be clean and free of paint, coatings, soil, moisture and contaminants
3. it cannot be used following metal smearing operations such as shot peening, sand blasting, certain machining operations (unless material is acid etched to remove smeared metal)
4. some materials (rubber and plastics) may be adversely affected by the penetrant's petroleum base;
5. it is very dependent on operator skill
6. some penetrant products use ingredients that may cause skin irritation under prolonged contact if proper protective clothing is not worn.


If a system is too sensitive, the results may be misleading ( گمراه کننده ) and time will be wasted ( تلف شود ) in the evaluation process. If the system is not sensitive enough, rejectable defects could remain undetected.


The sensitivity of a liquid penetrant system refers to its capability to detect small defects. This means that a highly sensitive system can identify even the smallest flaws عیوب  or imperfections in the material being tested. Contrast ratios and color intensity may contribute to the system's effectiveness, but the primary factor determining sensitivity is its ability to detect small defects. The frequency of black-light used is not mentioned in the question and therefore cannot be considered as a factor in determining sensitivity.



The tendency تمایل of a liquid penetrant to enter a discontinuity is primarily related to the capillary forces. where a liquid can be drawn into narrow spaces or tubes against the force of gravity. In the case of liquid penetrant testing, capillary forces allow the penetrant to flow into small cracks or defects in a material, making them visible during the inspection process. 



Liquid penetrant testing is a nondestructive testing method used to detect surface discontinuities in materials.  allowing it to seep into any surface cracks or defects, and then removing the excess penetrant. The penetrant is typically brightly colored to make it visible under UV light. However, liquid penetrant testing is not capable of accurately measuring the depth of a crack or discontinuity. It can only detect the presence of surface defects, making it more suitable for finding shallow surface discontinuities rather than measuring the depth of cracks.


it is important to avoid using penetrants containing sulphur and chlorine on nickel surfaces to maintain their integrity and prevent any potential harm.



A water tolerance test is used to determine how much water a postemulsifiable penetrant or a hydrophilic emulsifier can tolerate before becoming unusable. This test helps to establish the maximum amount of water that can be present in the penetrant or emulsi¦er without affecting its effectiveness. By conducting this test, one can ensure that the penetrant or emulsifier is able to withstand مقاومت a certain level of water contamination آلودگی آب and still perform its intended function عملکرد موردنظر.



Contact angle is determined by the balance between the adhesive forces between the liquid and the surface, and the cohesive forces within the liquid. A high contact angle indicates that the liquid is less likely to spread out on the surface, while a low contact angle indicates that the liquid will spread out more easily. The contact angle is important in various applications, such as determining the wettability of a surface or understanding the behavior of liquids on different materials


The ability of the penetrant to enter the discontinuity is based on surface tension; however, the speed at which it enters is determined by viscosity.


A hydrometer is used to measure the specific gravity of a liquid. It works based on the principle that the density of a liquid is directly proportional to its specific gravity. The hydrometer is a cylindrical glass tube with a weighted bulb at the bottom. When placed in a liquid, it floats and the level at which it sinks indicates the specific gravity of the liquid. Therefore, a hydrometer is the correct tool for checking specific gravity.


Immersion dwell is a technique used in non-destructive testing where the test part is immersed in a liquid medium for a prolonged period. This method is employed when there is a need for extended dwell times to ensure thorough inspection. The other options mentioned, such as shallow and wide discontinuities and large numbers of test parts, do not specifically require the use of immersion dwell.


dilation of the pupils enables the operator to see better in the darkened environment and detect any visible dye penetrant indications. Therefore, a minimum of three minutes is required to allow the operator's eyes to fully dilate and achieve maximum seeing in the darkened inspection area.




Type of Penetrant

Penetrant can be fluorescent, visible or dual mode dye that has both visible and fluorescent properties



Fluorescent penetrant contains a dye that is visible under UV-A light. To view the indications, inspection is performed in a darkened area with an ultraviolet light source



Fluorescent penetrants have the advantage of being able to detect smaller indications more easily compared to visible dye penetrants. This is because fluorescent penetrants emit a bright glow under UV light, making even small indications more visible and easier to identify during inspection.


A black light filter is not necessary to activate the fluorescent penetrant dye because the dye is activated by the UV light emitted by the black light bulb itself. It is also not necessary to provide a contrasting background on the material surface as the black light already highlights any fluorescence present on the surface. Additionally, it is not needed to protect the black light bulb from scratches and breakage as this is not its purpose.


The black-light intensity is stated as a minimum of 1000 microwatts per centimeter squared in order to ensure that the fluorescent dye reaches its peak fluorescence. When the black-light intensity is at this level, it provides the optimal conditions for the dye to emit the brightest fluorescence, making it easier for the operator to detect any defects or irregularities on the material surface. This level of intensity ensures that the dye is fully activated and visible, allowing for accurate inspection and evaluation.



Visible penetrant uses a red, orange or purple dye that is highly visible when contrasted against a white developer coating the part surface. Inspection must be performed under white light.



Type I : Advantages of Fluorescent Liquid Penetrants

fluorescent liquid penetrant testing is more sensitive to small discontinuities than visible dye.




Advantages of Visible Dye Penetrants

It does not require a darkened area or a source of electric power for illumination ( روشنایی ). For this reason, it is more often used as a portable testing tool in the shop or field



Disadvantages of penetrant Type : 

-Type I , Fluorescent : 

--Requires special lighting

--Requires electricity

-Type II , Visible Dye

--Less sensitive than Type I

--Does not perform well for wide, shallow discontinuities


Penetrant class is not divided into performance grades as is fluorescent liquid penetrants.The visibility of the indications with respect to the white developer background is a key factor in successfully revealing tight discontinuities


زمان ماندگاری ماده نافذ روی قطعه مورد آزمون

Penetrant Dwell

The total time the penetrant remains on the part surface is the penetrant dwell. The time required for a penetrant to enter a discontinuity is dependent on temperature, the type of discontinuity and the possibility of contaminants entrapped within discontinuities. Large, shallow discontinuities require less dwell time than small, tight cracks. Discontinuities free from contaminants require less dwell time than discontinuities with entrapped soil because it is easier for the penetrant to enter them.


The standard minimum dwell is 5 min unless testing in service parts. If service fatigue cracks are suspected, the minimum dwell time required is often 2 h, but for stress corrosion up to 4 h may be required. When the dwell exceeds 1 h, applying fresh penetrant every hour improves the rate of penetration.


Temperature

The temperature of the penetrant materials and the part must be within an acceptable range for processing. ASTM E 1417 specifies a temperature range of 4 to 52 °C (40 to 125 °F).

The viscosity of most liquids, including penetrants, increases at low temperatures. If a part is quite cold, under 16 °C (60 °F) for example, the liquid penetrant may become chilled and thickened when applied, making the dwell time for very fine discontinuities longer than for parts at higher temperatures. If a part or liquid penetrant is too hot, the volatile components of the liquid penetrant may evaporate, changing the ability for revealing small discontinuities. Material temperatures from 10 to 52 °C (50 to 125 °F) produce optimum results with conventional liquid penetrants,




Most industry and military specifications limit acceptable water temperature to 10 to 38 °C (50 to 100 °F) at a pressure not to exceed 276 kPa (40 psi). The spray nozzle should be a minimum of 30 cm (12 in.) from the part at an angle between 45 and 70 degrees.



روش حذف ماده نافذ اضافی

Penetrant Removal Method

Excess penetrant is removed by water wash, hydrophilic emulsification, lipophilic emulsification, or solvent wipe.

The penetrant must be removed from the part surface without removing it from within a discontinuity. An optimum amount of removal must be obtained. Too little removal will cause an excessive penetrant background and indications will be indistinguishable from the part surface. If too much is removed from the discontinuity, a weak indication or no indication will be formed. The methods for removing surface penetrant and the SAE AMS 2644 designation are:

1. Method A - Water Washable

2. Method B - Lipophilic Emulsifier

3. Method C - Solvent Removable

4. Method D - Hydrophilic Emulsifier

Fluorescent penetrant should be removed in a darkened area equipped with ultraviolet lighting regardless of the removal method.



Water Washable (Method A)

Water washable penetrants contain emulsifying agents that make the oil miscible (mixable) with water. The penetrant may be removed with a manual or automatic coarse water spray, by immersion in an air agitated water wash or by manually wiping.


The rinsing operation must be monitored closely to avoid overwashing. Washing should be stopped as soon as an acceptable background level is observed.



Lipophilic Emulsifier (Method B) چربی دوست

Removal is performed by introducing an oilbased emulsifier as a separate process step. Lipophilic emulsifier diffuses in to the surface penetrant. It is usually applied by immersion; brushing or wiping may cause streaking due to uneven emulsification and are not recommended. This system offers more control and has fewer problems with over and under washing compared to the water washable method. The emulsifier dwell may be anywhere between 5 s up to 5 min.


ASTM E 1417 limits lipophilic emulsifiers to a 3 min maximum dwell time. Finding the optimum time for specific conditions is generally accomplished through experimentation. Experience under similar circumstances related to the type and size of suspected defects, surface roughness of the part, temperature of materials, water contamination levels of the penetrant and emulsifier can be used for a guideline. If the emulsification time is either too short or too long, the part must be entirely cleaned and reprocessed with an adjusted emulsifier dwell.

Following the appropriate dwell, the part should be quickly sprayed with water wash to stop the diffusion process. Once the diffusion process is halted, the emulsified penetrant is rinsed using the same methods as the water washable method.


The postemulsification test is used to detect defects or cracks in materials by applying a penetrant, emulsifying it, and then removing the excess. If the emulsifying time is too long, it can cause the penetrant to be completely removed from the cracks or defects, rendering the test ineffective as it will not be able to detect any flaws عیوب

تست را بی اثر می کند زیرا قادر به تشخیص هیچ نقصی نخواهد بود



Having an ultraviolet light installed at the wash station allows for the inspection of parts without the need for drying. This is because ultraviolet light can reveal any fluorescent dye penetrant that may be present on the parts. By using the ultraviolet light, one can determine if the wash cycle has been effective in removing any remaining dye penetrant from the parts. This helps ensure that the parts have been properly cleaned and prepared for further processes or use.


emulsifier time is extremely important and will greatly affect test results. This implies that the amount of time the emulsifier is allowed to act on the surface has a significant impact on the outcome of the test. The longer the emulsfier time, the better the results are expected to be.



Solvent Removable (Method C)

Solvent remover is usually supplied in aerosol spray cans. The solvent works by diluting the surface penetrant. The part is first wiped with clean, dry, lintfree cloths or towels. After the major portion of penetrant has been wiped from the surface, the surface should be wiped with a clean cloth, lightly sprayed with solvent, until just a trace of penetrant is observed on the cloth. Extreme caution must be used to avoid excessive removal.



Using an excessive amount of solvent when using a solvent-removable penetrant can have negative effects. It can lead to excessive removal of the penetrant from the surface, making it difficult to detect any defects. This can result in false-negative results and compromise the effectiveness of the inspection process. Therefore, it is generally accepted that using an excessive amount of solvent should be avoided as a precautionary measure.




Water-soluble and water-suspensible developers also require the correct drying of the test parts after applying the developer to prevent streaking ( رگه شدن ) and running ( جاری شدن)  of the developer coating. 



Note: Flowchart shows parts being dried before dry powder and nonaqueous developer, but dried after water-soluble and water suspendable developer.




Developers : 



Dry developer is the most suitable developer for parts that are complex or have rough surfaces ,  Aqueous developer is a water-based developer that is more suitable for smooth surfaces, while non-aqueous developer is a developer that is not water-based and may not adhere as well to complex or rough surfaces.


Non-aqueous developers are typically solvent-based and have a higher sensitivity compared to dry and aqueous developers. They are able to detect smaller defects and provide higher contrast images. Dry developers are typically used for magnetic particle testing and do not provide as high sensitivity as non-aqueous developers. Aqueous developers are water-based and have lower sensitivity compared to non- aqueous developers. Therefore, the non-aqueous developer is the most sensitive option.

انجام تست جوش با روش مایعات نافذ


بهمن ماه ۱۴۰۳

پسر قاضی مقیسه در صفحه شخصی خود در فضای مجازی نوشت: حاجی دو بار برای عمل جراحی نیروی خدماتی (قاتل منافق) از همه قضات پول جمع کرده بود. ولی طرف به بهانه عمل رفته بود آموزش ترور.


سخنان آقا زاده : 

کارکنان زیردست خود بودند و برای ارتقای وضعیت شغلی آنها تلاش می‌کردند. همین آقایی که ایشان را ترور کرد، به مدت ۶ ماه حاج آقا در پی این بود که حقوقش را افزایش دهند. او دائماً پیگیری می‌کرد تا برایش کار‌های بهتری پیدا کند و می‌گفت حیف است که او این‌گونه زندگی کند. باید مقامش بالا برود و مملکتمان به گونه‌ای باشد که تحصیل‌کرده‌ها بتوانند در جایگاه‌های بالاتری فعالیت کنند.»

گفتنی است درباره هویت ضارب نیز پیش‌تر اطلاعاتی منتشر شده است. نام او فرشاد اسدی و متولد ۱۳۶۵ است. او در چند سال اخیر به‌عنوان نیروی خدماتی و آبدارچی و به‌صورت قراردادی در ساختمان دادگستری کل کشور مشغول به‌کار شده بود.



آخه لیسانس برای خدمات و نظافت توالت میگیرن !!!! چرا پیمانکاری و نیرو رسان یا manpower برای یک جای مهم!!!


۱ روز پیش · ضارب پس از هدف قرار دادن قضات و مأمور محافظ، بلافاصله با همان اسلحه از شعبه خارج شده و به طبقه سوم فرار کرده و آنجا با شلیک یک گلوله به قلبش ...



یک ماده نافذ خوب که میتواند عملکرد خوبی در شناسایی نواقص داشته باشد، باید دارای ویژگیهای فیزیکی زیر باشد:

کشش سطحی بالا ( جمع شدن مایع روی سطح به شکل ورقهای کشسان).

خاصیت ترکنندگی بالا ( گسترش و پخش شدن مایع روی سطح با زاویه کم).

گرا  روی ( Viscosity ) کم  ( مقاوم به جاری شدن).

خاصیت مویینگی بالا ( نفوذ و جاری شدن در منافذ باریک)

شفافیت رنگ ( رنگ با خاصیت درخشندگی بالا ).

حل کنندگی بالا ( قابلیت حل کردن ناخالصیهای درون نقص).



در بازرسی با مواد نافذ، موارد زیر را همیشه در نظر داشته باشید. 

مواد نافذ سمی و اشتعال زاست. 

مواد نافذ تأثیر نامطلوب روی پوست و چشم دارد. 

نور فرابنفش برای پوست و چشم مضر میباشد. 

محل بازرسی باید دارای تهویه و شیر آب برای شستوشوی چشم و پوست باشد.



-در بازرسی با مواد نافذ نباید سطح نمونه دارای چربی یا هرگونه پوشش یا رنگ باشد.

-روش تمیزکاری باید با توجه به جنس نمونه و با دقت انتخاب شود تا آسیبی به  کارایی قطعه وارد نیاید. 

-در روش ًهای تمیزکاری با آب، نمونه باید حتما به اندازه کافی خشک شود زیرا آب  مانع ورود مواد نافذ به نقص میگردد.



T-642 Surface Preparation

قبل از آزمایش  سطح مورد آزمون و تمام مناطق مجاور به اندازه حداقل یک اینچ باید خشک  و عاری از هر گونه آلودگی مثل رنگ یا پوسته های رنگ یا چربی و ...باشد

b) Prior to each liquid penetrant examination, the surface to be examined and all adjacent areas within at least 1 in. (25 mm) shall be dry and free of all dirt, grease, lint, scale, welding flux, weld spatter, paint, oil, and other extraneous matter that could obscure surface openings or otherwise interfere with the examination.



After the precleaning operation, the drying process is used to assure the evaporation of any water, solvents, or other cleaning agents that might remain in a discontinuity and thereby contaminate the penetrant when it is applied. Typically a 5-minute minimum drying time is required by the procedure.



Common drying methods include:

• Hand wiping with dry cloth or paper towel,

• Compressed air drying,

• Room air drying,

• Warm air drying,

• Oven drying, and

• Recirculating hot air drying.



۱- آماده سازی سطح : 

زدودن هر گونه آلودگی از سطح ( روغن ، گریس )

T-643 Drying After Preparation

After cleaning, drying of the surfaces to be examined shall be accomplished by normal evaporation or with forced hot or cold air. A minimum period of time shall be established to ensure that the cleaning solution has evaporated prior to application of the penetrant.



۲- اعمال مایع نافذ : ( Penetrant )

بعد از تمیزکاری و خشک کردن سطح با استفاده از  روش اسپری کردن یا قلمو زدن یا غوطه وری در حمام ماده نافذ


بعد از مرحله تمیزکاری سطحی، باید مایع نافذ را بر روی سطح اعمال نمود که این عمل را با توجه به امکانات و  یا شرایط قطعه میتوان به وسیله ی اسپری کردن، غوطه وری در مخزن مایع نافذ و یا به وسیله ی فرچه رنگ انجام داد. مایع نافذ سطح موردنظر را میپوشاند و بر اثر خاصیت مویینگی، مایع نافوذ به درون ترک ها نفوذ می کند.


۳- زمان وقفه بعد از اعمال مایع نافذ :  معمولاً طبق پیشنهاد تولید کننده است . زمان ها بسته به application ، ماده نافذ مورد استفاده ، شکل متریال مورد بازرسی  و نوع پیوستگی مورد بازرسی متفاوت است .حداقل محدوده  زمان وقفه عموماً از ۵ تا ۶۰ دقیقه است . این زمان وقفه بر اساس تجربه تعیین میشود.

۴-حذف مایع نافذ اضافی : 

بسته به روش ماده نافذ استفاده شده ممکن است تمیزکاری با یک حلال ، شستشوی مستقیم با آب ، یا ابتدا آماده سازی با یک امولسیفایر و  سپس شستشو با آب انجام گیرد.

مراقبت شود که حذف مواد نافذ از ناپیوستگی به حداقل ب سد

After the specified penetration (dwell) time has elapsed, any penetrant remaining on the surface shall be removed, taking care to minimize removal of penetrant from disconti- nuities.


۵-اعمال آشکار کننده : ( Developer ) 

با اشکال متفاوتی است می تواند با پاشیدن ( dusting )  ( پودر خشک ) ، فرو  بردن ( dipping )  یا اسپری کردن ( آشکار کننده wet )  اعمال گردد.

۶-ظهور نشانه : 


آشکارساز مجاز است برای مدت زمانی کافی روی یک سطح بایستد تا امکان استخراج ماده نافذ محبوس شده را از هرگونه نقص سطحی فراهم کند. مدت زمان حداقل ده دقیقه است البته برای ترک های تنگ و کیپ مدت زمان بیشتری لازم است.

۷-بازرسی : 

بازرسی در نور کافی مناسب برای یافتن نشانه ها ( indications ) ازهر عیبی انجام می پذیرد.

T-650 TECHNIQUE 

T-651 Techniques

Either a color contrast (visible) penetrant or a fluorescent penetrant shall be used with one of the following three penetrant processes:

(a) water washable

(b) post-emulsifying

(c) solvent removable


Solvent removable penetrants are removed in the following manner:

The surface of the part is first wiped with a clean, lint free, dry cloth or absorbent paper towel to remove as much of the surface penetrant as possible. The remainder of the surface penetrant is then removed by wiping the surface with a lint free cloth or absorbent paper towel that has been dampened with the penetrant remover (solvent). The surface of the part must not be flushed with the remover, and the cloth or paper towel should not be saturated ( smear : کاملاً آعشته شود ) with the remover.

NOTE: It may be necessary to repeat this step in order to adequately remove the surface penetrant.


سطح قطعه و پارچه یا حوله باید تحت نور ( illumination ) مناسب مشاهده شود تا از حذف کافی ماده نافذ سطح اطمینان حاصل شود. برای جلوگیری از برداشتن بیش از حد باید مراقب باشید. پس از ( following ) حذف ماده نافذ سطح ، سطح قطعه باید با آغشتن یا خیساندن با پارچه یا حوله خشک بدون پرز ( lint free )  یا با تبخیر هوا ( air evapouration ) خشک شود.




دمای استاندارد سطح مورد آزمون باید بین ۵ تا ۵۲ درجه باشد در مواردیکه این محدودیت دمایی عملی نیست طبق T-653 عمل گردد.


T-652 Techniques for Standard Temperatures

As a standard technique, the temperature of the penetrant and the surface of the part to be processed shall not be below 40°F (5°C) nor above 125°F (52°C) throughout the examination period. Local heating or cooling is permitted provided the part temperature remains in the range of 40°F to 125°F (5°C to 52°C) during the examination. Where it is not practical to comply with these temperature limitations, other temperatures and times may be used, provided the procedures are qualified as specified in T-653.


T-653 Techniques for Nonstandard Temperatures

When it is not practical to conduct a liquid penetrant examination within the temperature range of 40°F to 125°F (5°C to 52°C), the examination procedure at the proposed lower or higher temperature range requires qualification of the penetrant materials and processing in accordance with Mandatory Appendix III of this Article.


زمان توقف یا Dwell time که بعد از اعمال ماده نافذ یا Penetrant داده میشود به فرم و نوع ناپیوستگی بستگی دارد.


در جدول T-672 حداقل زمان توقف بعد از اعمال مایع نافذ برای متریال های مختلف طبق شکل قطعه  و نوع ناپیوستگی ذکر شده مثلا برای فولاد به شکل casting یا welds و نوع ناپیوستگی ها مثل LOF PROSITY CRACKS این حداقل زمان ۵ دقیقه است.

در تبصره جدول حداقل زمان برای دمای بین ۵ تا ۱۰ درجه دوبرابر چیزی است که در جدول بیان شده .

It is recommended to rotate or otherwise move components as necessary during dwell to prevent pooling of the penetrant. For dwell times greater than 2 h, the penetrant shall be reapplied as required.



T-673.1 Water-Washable Penetrants.

ماده نافذ قابل شستشو با آب اضافی باید با اسپری کردن آب حذف شود . فشار نباید از ۵۰PSI تجاوز کند و دمای آب نباید از ۴۳ درجه سانتیگراد بالاتر باشد

Excess water- washable penetrant shall be removed with a water spray. The water pressure shall not exceed 50 psi (350 kPa), and the water temperature shall not exceed 110°F (43°C).





7.1 Equipment:

7.1.1 Solvent Removable Visible Dye Penetrant materials consist of:

a) Penetrant. b) Penetrant remover/cleaner. c) Developer. d) Lint free cloth. e) Light meter capable of measuring visible light intensity in lux / foot candles (f.c.). The light meter shall meet the calibration requirement of T-660 of ASME Code Section V

c) Areas being inspected shall be sprayed in such a manner so as to assure complete coverage with a thin, even film of developer.

d) Dipping or flooding parts with non-aqueous developer is prohibited.

e) Developing dwell time shall not be less than 10 min., The maximum permitted developing time is 1 h for nonaqueous developers as stated in accordance with (ASME-V.Article24, SE-165) unless otherwise specified by the client, in a more restrictive manne



Removal Method 

As  mentioned  previously,  penetrant  systems  are  classified  into  four  categories  according to the method used for excess penetrant removal.   ­

Method A: Water­Washable  

­Method B: Post­Emulsifiable, Lipophilic   Method C: Solvent Removable  

­ Method D: Post­Emulsifiable, Hydrophilic  


Method C, Solvent Removable, is used primarily for inspecting small localized areas.   This method requires hand wiping the surface with a cloth moistened with the solvent  remover, and is, therefore, too labor intensive for most production situations.  

Method A, Water­Washable, is the most economical to apply of the different methods  and  it  is  easy  to  use.  Water­washable  or  self­emulsifiable  penetrants  contain  an  emulsifier  as  an  integral  part  of  the  formulation.  The  excess  penetrant  may  be  removed from the object surface with a simple water rinse. 

When removal of the penetrant from the defect due to over­washing of the part is a  concern,  a  post­emulsifiable  penetrant  system  can  be  used.  The  post­emulsifiable  methods  are  generally  only  used  when  very  high  sensitivity  is  needed.  Post­ emulsifiable penetrants require a separate emulsifier to breakdown the penetrant and  make it water washable. The part is usually immersed in the emulsifier but hydrophilic  emulsifiers may also be sprayed on the object. Brushing the emulsifier on to the part is  not  recommended  because  the  bristles  of  the  brush  may  force  emulsifier  into  discontinuities,  causing  the  entrapped  penetrant  to  be  removed.  The  emulsifier is  allowed sufficient time to react with the penetrant on the surface of the part but not  given  time  to  make  its  way  into  defects  to  react  with  the  trapped  penetrant.  Controlling the reaction time is of essential importance when using a post­emulsifiable  system. If the emulsification time is too short, an excessive amount of penetrant will  be left on the surface, leading to high background levels. If the emulsification time is  too long, the  emulsifier will react with the  penetrant  entrapped in  discontinuities,  making it possible to deplete the amount needed to form an indication.  

The hydrophilic post­emulsifiable method (Method D) is gives better sensitivity than  the  lipophilic  post­emulsifiable  method  (Method  B).  The  major  advantage  of  hydrophilic emulsifiers is that they are less sensitive to variation in the contact and  removal time.  




III-610 SCOPE

When a liquid penetrant examination cannot be conducted within the standard temperature range of 40°F to 125°F (5°C to 52°C), the temperature of the examination shall be qualified in accordance with this Appendix.

III-630 MATERIALS

A liquid penetrant comparator block shall be made as follows. The liquid penetrant comparator blocks shall be made of aluminum, ASTM B 209, Type 2024, 3⁄8 in. (9.5 mm) thick, and should have approximate face dimen- sions of 2 in.  3 in. (50 mm  75 mm). At the center of each face, an area approximately 1 in. (25 mm) in diameter shall be marked with a 950°F (510°C) tempera- ture-indicating crayon or paint. The marked area shall be heated with a blowtorch, a Bunsen burner, or similar device to a temperature between 950°F (510°C) and 975°F (524°C).The specimen shall then be immediately quenched in cold water, which produces a network of fine cracks on each face.

The block shall then be dried by heating to approxi- mately 300°F (149°C). After cooling, the block shall be cut in half. One-half of the specimen shall be designated block “A” and the other block “B” for identification in subsequent processing. Figure III-630 illustrates the com- parator blocks “A” and “B.” As an alternate to cutting the block in half to make blocks “A” and “B,” separate blocks 2 in.  3 in. (50 mm  75 mm) can be made using the heating and quenching technique as described above. Two comparator blocks with closely matched crack patterns may be used. The blocks shall be marked “A” and “B.”

Since visible dye penetrants do not require a darkened area for the use of an ultraviolet light, visible systems are more easy to use in the field. Solvent removable penetrants, when properly applied, can have the highest sensitivity and are very convenient to use.  However, they are usually not practical for large area inspection or in high-volume production settings.

Another consideration in the selection of a penetrant system is whether water washable, post-emulsifiable or solvent removable penetrants will be used. Post-emulsifiable systems are designed to reduce the possibility of over-washing, which is one of the factors known to reduce sensitivity . However, these systems add another step, and thus cost, to the inspection process.
