1. SURFACE PREPARATION
PURPOSE
To have a clean and dry test surface
Clean no rust, no scale, no paint, no
corrosion product
Dry no oil, no grease, no water
Because if contaminants are present, it will
prevent the penetrant from entering the
discontinuities.
Example of contaminants:
METHODS OF CLEANING
Mechanical Cleaning
Chemical Cleaning
MECHANICAL CLEANING

CHEMICAL CLEANING
Detergent cleaning
Remove surface soil
Detergent may be alkaline or acid and shall
be non-corrosive
Thorough rinsing and drying required
Vapour degreasing
Remove organic contaminants such as oil,
grease
Use of solvent vapour
Chlorinated solvent can be harmful to Ni,
Stainless Steel, Ti

4. DEVELOPER APPLICATION
Sequence
1. Dry developer or non aqueous developer

How it applies?
By dipping the part into tank container
(contain developer)
By pouring or flowing
By using compressed air spray gun
