An Intensive 5-day Training Course
Penetrant Testing (PT)
- Format: Classroom
- Duration: 5 days
- Language: English
- Accredited: CPE, KHDA Certified training courses
INTRODUCTION
Penetrant Testing Inspection utilizes the property of capillary action to find surface breaking discontinuities in a variety of materials. It is one of the most economical Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods. A (penetrant) is applied to the surface of a test piece. Liquid Penetrant Inspection uses this capillary action to allow the penetrant to enter into fissures and voids that are open to the surface. After a dwelling time, the excess penetrant is removed, any remaining penetrant in the voids will flow back out exposing the indication. There are a variety of techniques included in liquid penetrant testing available depending on the type of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) inspection and the kind of flaws a technician is aiming to find.
TRAINING OBJECTIVES
