Paints shall be removed with chemicals rather than physic

19、al method. 5.3.3. All the detergents remaining on the test surface affect the fluorescency of penetrant and therefore, prior to application of penetrant, all the test piece shall be thoroughly dried after being washed off through neutralizing. 5.3.4.

20、oft metallic parts machined shall be etched. 5.3.5. In case cleaning plastic products, solvent which might affect material quality shall not be used. 5.4. Application of penetrant Penetrant shall be applied to the entire surface of the test part of the test piece whose cleaning is completely finishe

21、d by dipping, spraying or brushing. 5.4.1. Application method shall be selected according to shape and dimensions of test piece, but if possible, dipping shall be used. 5.4.2. The penetration time shall be determined according to material of test piece, processing method, kind of flaws and the kind

22、of penetrant(Refer to Table 2). 5.4.3. For parts whose penetration degree is doubtful, it may be better to apply penetrant longer or again to ensure indication degree of flaws. 5.4.4. To improve the penetration and sensitivity of penetrant, it may be better to preheat the penetrant at 65 max. prior

Water-washable method Penetrant shall be removed with pressure spraying method, if possible. Distance between spray nozzle and the surface of the

29、 test piece shall be about 30cm. The appropriate temperature of cleaning water shall be within 1638. In case of fluorescent penetrant, cleaning shall be carried out with ultraviolet rays, making sure the cleaning conditions. Take care lest penetrant which penetrated into flaws should be washed outsi

30、de due to excessive cleaning. 5.5.2. Post-emulsifiable method (1) In case of Type (fluorescent penetration), the emulsifier application time shall be adjusted, taking into consideration the sensitivity of penetrant, the surface roughness of test piece, activity of emulsifier according to the kind of

31、 flaws to be found for each part. Emulsifier shall be applied with the method which is capable of covering swiftly the entire surface stained with penetrant, such as dipping and spraying, but not brushing. Make the cleaning time as short as possible, not to exceed 5 minutes because it is feared that

32、 penetrant which penetrated into flaw part may be washed outside when the cleaning time lasts long. (2) In case of Type (dye penetrant), other conditions than emulsifier application time shall be the same as those of I type. Emulsifier application time shall be made as short as possible, taking more

33、 careful attention to it than that of I type. After emulsifier application time is up, the entire surface shall be sprayed with water or dipped into water lest emulsification should continue any longer. At this time be careful lest water drop should enter into emulsification tank which is near. It t

34、his case, cleaning method shall be the same as water washable method in item 5.5.1. 5.5.3. Solvent-removable method After applying solvent, excessive penetrant shall be wiped out with dry cloth, regardless of type and . Aerosol type detergent shall not be directly sprayed to the surface of test piec

35、e because it is feared that penetrant which penetrated into fine flaws may be washed outside. 5.6. Developing The work of making the size of flaws appear magnified several times or tens times by spraying developer of white powder on the surface of the test piece and then siphoning remaining penetran

36、t inside flaws out to the surface through capillarity. 5.6.1. Water wet developer The concentration and mixing method of wet developer which is used in the mixture of water and developer powder along with moisturizing compound shall conform to the manufacturers order. Developing method is generally

37、as follows remove the penetrant and then apply developer by the method such as dipping and dry by letting excessive developer flow and drop. To get high sensitivity, dry the part with the heat of the part itself by means of spraying developer after drying the test sample in a hot chamber at an appro

38、priate temperature after the removal of penetrant. EDS-T-7124EXPANDING TEST FOR TUBES PAGE: 8/9 ISSUED DATE: 1988. 11. 10 REVISED DATE: 2006. 06. 19 VERSION: 2 GM DAEWOO Auto & Technology 5.6.2. Volatile wet developer Volatile wet developer made by suspending developer powder into volatile solvent h

39、as comparatively high sensitivity and is used when test piece to be is used without heating it or partial inspection of large parts is performed. 5.6.3. Dry developer After removing penetrant and then drying the part, apply dry developer of fine powder by means of spraying or dipping. Remove excessi

40、ve developer powder by slightly tapping or blowing with an air of low pressure after the application of developer. Dry developer has low sensitivity compared with wet developer. 5.6.4. Drying After the application of wet developer or remove of penetrant, dry the test piece in a hot chamber kept at 6

41、6107 prior to the application of dry developer. Note: ASTM: Drying temperature(Fluorescency: 7993, Dyeing: 7193) 5.7. Inspection The application time of developer shall be determined according to kinds of penetrant, developer and flaws. Generally, developing time shall be the longer one between half

42、 of penetration time and 4 minutes. The sufficient time shall be alloted that indication of flaws may form but inspection shall be conducted before indications of flaws blur due to excessive developing by leaving the test piece too long in the developer. Inspection shall be performed under light con

43、ditions which help manifest indications of flaws. In case inspecting with ultraviolet ray in the dark, it shall be performed after adapting the eyes of test personnel to darkness. In case inspecting with ultraviolet ray, illumination of ultraviolet ray on the surface of test piece shall be 969 LUX(9

44、0 FOOT-CANDLE) min In case of type I(fluorescent penetrant test), 8), pay attention lest flurescent substances and other pollutant should be attached. 6. RECORD OF TEST RESULT In case of occurring the indication of flaws, describe its location and depth in the report or take picture of it with film

45、sensitive to ultraviolet ray in case of type I or copy indication of flaws with scotch tape in case of type II. 7. CAUTIONS Test personnel shall apply this test method after giving enough thought to the merits and demerits of this method, when required, use other non-destructive test method along wi

46、th this or check the presence of flaws by performing destructive test. 7.1. Merit 7.1.1. This can be applied to non magnetic material. 7.1.2. Complex shaped material can be tested. 7.1.3. Circular shape flaws and flaws of every direction can be detected. EDS-T-7124EXPANDING TEST FOR TUBES PAGE: 9/9
