21、orescent; penetrant inspection; testing methods; sur-gical implantsAPPENDIX(Nonmandatory Information)X1. RATIONALEX1.1 A method of nondestructive inspection, known asfluorescent penetrant inspection, is employed as a qualitycontrol tool for surgical devices. This method of inspection isnot only used

22、 by the manufacturers, but by their suppliers andalso independent testing laboratories. This method has beenused for over twenty years for the nondestructive examinationof surgical implants and devices. Fluorescent penetrant inspec-tion provides a sensitive method of detecting surface imper-fections

23、 such as scratches, cracks, surface porosity, and weld-ing joint imperfections.X1.2 Fluorescent penetrant inspection uses specially formu-lated penetrating oil, manufactured by many sources, whichalso has a fluorescent dye as part of its formula. The method ofinspection allows for the fluorescent pe

24、netrating oil to entersurface discontinuities; a subsequent process removes all othersurface remnants of the penetrating oil, thus leaving thefluorescent material only in surface discontinuities. A final“developer” is applied to bring out the penetrating oil from thediscontinuities. Then an ultra vi

25、olet light (black light) is used toinspect the part for the presence of the fluorescent material.This method allows for highly sensitive examination of smalldiscontinuities that normally would not be visible by unaidedvisual inspection.X1.3 Due to a variety of specifications being applied to theinsp

26、ection of surgical implants and devices, a task force wasformed under Committee F04 to standardize methods forfluorescent penetrant inspection of metallic surgical implants;the result was Practice F601. The task force, comprised of alarge cross section of manufacturers, testing experts, govern-ment

27、representatives, and other interested parties, developed auniversally accepted practice for surgical implants and devices.X1.4 This is a standard practiceand is only intended toconfirm the standardized method of obtaining and evaluatingthe fluorescent penetrant indications, as well as the evaluation

28、of the materials used in the testing method. This practice is notintended to set acceptance standards; this type of specificationwould be extremely difficult due to such variables as surfacefinish (that is, mechanically polished, grit or vapor blasted,electro polished, and so forth); manufacturing m

29、ethod (that is,wrought, forged, cast, and so forth); as well as other variablesin surface texture.F601 132SUMMARY OF CHANGESCommittee F04 has identified the location of selected changes to this standard since the last issue, F601 03(2008), that may impact the use of this standard.
