FAQ

Liquid penetrant testing is essentially the process of injecting coloured liquid into a product that will seep into any surface defects. It can detect cracks as narrow as 150 nanometres.

Liquid penetrant testing detects hairline cracks, surface porosity, leaks, and fatigue cracks. It uses liquid dye to see defects that are otherwise not visible to the naked eye.

Liquid penetrant testing can be applied to any non-porous clean material, metallic or non-metallic. It is unsuitable for dirty or rough surfaces.

It is typically a six-step process:

  1. Surface cleaning
  2. Application of a penetrant liquid
  3. Removal of excess penetrant liquid
  4. Application of developer
  5. Inspection of test surface
  6. Post-inspection cleaning
