This standard provides general guidance on methods of carrying out penetrant inspection on materials and components both during manufacture and in service. It does not deal with acceptance or rejection. Penetrant inspection is used to locate discontinuities, such as laps, folds, cracks, porosity and fissures, which are open to the surface of a material or component. Penetrant techniques can be used on materials irrespective of their physical properties, provided that the surface is normally non-absorbent and compatible with the penetrant process.
