Keywords9.1 fluorescent; penetrant inspection; testing methods; surgical implantsF601 182APPENDIX(Nonmandatory Information)X1. RATIONALEX1.1 A method of nondestructi

29、ve inspection, known as fluorescent penetrant inspection, is employed as a quality control tool forsurgical devices. This method of inspection is not only used by the manufacturers, but by their suppliers and also independenttesting laboratories. This method has been used for over twenty years for t

30、he nondestructive examination of surgical implants anddevices. Fluorescent penetrant inspection provides a sensitive method of detecting surface imperfections such as scratches, cracks,surface porosity, and welding joint imperfections.X1.2 Fluorescent penetrant inspection uses specially formulated p

31、enetrating oil, manufactured by many sources, which also hasa fluorescent dye as part of its formula. The method of inspection allows for the fluorescent penetrating oil to enter surfacediscontinuities; a subsequent process removes all other surface remnants of the penetrating oil, thus leaving the

32、fluorescent materialonly in surface discontinuities.Afinal “developer” is applied to bring out the penetrating oil from the discontinuities. Then an ultraviolet light (black light) (UV-A) is used to inspect the part for the presence of the fluorescent material. This method allows forhighly sensitive

33、 examination of small discontinuities that normally would not be visible by unaided visual inspection.X1.3 Due to a variety of specifications being applied to the inspection of surgical implants and devices, a task force was formedunder Committee F04 to standardize methods for fluorescent penetrant

34、inspection of metallic surgical implants; the result wasPractice F601. The task force, comprised of a large cross section of manufacturers, testing experts, government representatives,and other interested parties, developed a universally accepted practice for surgical implants and devices.X1.4 This

35、is a standard practiceand is only intended to confirm the standardized method of obtaining and evaluating thefluorescent penetrant indications, as well as the evaluation of the materials used in the testing method. This practice is not intendedto set acceptance standards; this type of specification

36、would be extremely difficult due to such variables as surface finish (that is,mechanically polished, grit or vapor blasted, electro polished, and so forth); manufacturing method (that is, wrought, forged, cast,and so forth); as well as other variables in surface texture.SUMMARY OF CHANGESCommittee F
