20、 this practice and the references cited herein, this practice takesprecedence.3. Terminology3.1 Definitionsdefinitions relating to liquid penetrant examination, which appear in Terminology E1316, shall apply to theterms used in this practice.Throughout this practice, the term “black light” has been
21、changed to “UV-A” to conform with the latest terminology in E1316.“Black light” can mean a broad range of ultraviolet radiation; fluorescent penetrant inspection only uses the UV-A range.4. Summary of Practice4.1 A post-emulsifiable, liquid, fluorescent penetrant is applied evenly over the surface b
22、eing tested and allowed to enter opendiscontinuities. After a suitable dwell time and prerinse, the excess surface penetrant is removed by applying a hydrophilicemulsifier and the surface is rinsed and dried.Adeveloper is then applied drawing the entrapped penetrant out of the discontinuityand stain
23、ing the developer. If an aqueous developer is to be employed, the developer is applied prior to the drying step. The testsurface is then examined visually under black lightUV-A radiation in a darkened area to determine the presence or absence ofindications. (WarningFluorescent penetrant examination
24、shall not follow a visible penetrant examination unless the procedurehas been qualified in accordance with 9.2, because visible dyes may cause deterioration or quenching of fluorescent dyes.)4.2 Processing parameters such as precleaning, penetration time, prerinsing, hydrophilic emulsifier concentra
25、tion, etc., aredetermined by the specific materials used, the nature of the part under examination (that is, size, shape, surface condition, alloy),type of discontinuities expected, etc.5. Significance and Use5.1 Liquid penetrant examination methods indicate the presence, location, and, to a limited
26、 extent, the nature and magnitude ofthe detected discontinuities. This practice is normally used for production examination of critical components, wherereproducibility is essential. More procedural controls and processing steps are required than with other processes.6. Reagents and Materials6.1 Liq
27、uid Fluorescent Penetrant Testing Materials, for use in the hydrophilic post-emulsification process, (see Note 1) consistof a family of post-emulsifiable fluorescent penetrant, hydrophilic remover, and appropriate developer and are classified as TypeI Fluorescent, Method DPost-Emulsifiable, Hydrophi
28、lic. Penetrant materials shall conform toAMS 2644 unless approved by thecontract or Level III. Each penetrant and emulsifier are approved together as a pair. Intermixing of materials from variousmanufacturers is not recommended.NOTE 1Refer to 8.1 for special requirements for sulfur, halogen, and alk
29、ali metal content. (WarningWhile approved penetrant materials will notadversely affect common metallic materials, some plastics or rubbers may be swollen or stained by certain penetrants.)6.2 Post-Emulsifiable Penetrants are designed to be insoluble in water and cannot be removed with water rinsing
30、alone. Theyare designed to be selectively removed from the surface by the use of a separate hydrophilic emulsifier. The hydrophilic emulsifier,at the proper concentration, properly applied, and given a proper emulsification time, combines with the excess surface penetrantto form a water-washable mix
31、ture, which can then be rinsed from the surface leaving the surface free of fluorescent background.3 Available from The American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT), P.O.

34、tion does not occur, resulting in loss of indications.6.3 Hydrophilic Emulsifiers are liquids used to emulsify the excess oily fluorescent penetrant on the surface of the part,rendering it water-washable (see 7.1.6).They are water-base emulsifiers (detergent-type removers) that are supplied as conce
35、ntratesto be diluted with water and used as a dip or spray. The concentration, use, and maintenance shall be in accordance withmanufacturers recommendations.6.3.1 Hydrophilic emulsifiers function by displacing the excess penetrant film from the surface of the part through detergentaction. The force
36、of the water spray or air/mechanical agitation in an open dip tank provides the scrubbing action while thedetergent displaces the film of penetrant from the part surface. The emulsification time will vary, depending on its concentration.Its concentration can be monitored by the use of a suitable ref
37、ractometer.6.4 DevelopersDevelopment of penetrant indications is the process of bringing the penetrant out of discontinuities throughblotting action of the applied developer, thus increasing the visibility of the penetrant indications. Several types of developers aresuitable for use with the hydroph
38、ilic penetrant process.6.4.1 Dry Powder Developers are used as supplied (that is, free-flowing, noncaking powder) in accordance with 7.1.9.1(a). Careshould be taken not to contaminate the developer with fluorescent penetrant, as the penetrant specks can appear as indications.6.4.2 Aqueous Developers
39、 are normally supplied as dry powder particles to be either suspended or dissolved (soluble) in water.The concentration, use, and maintenance shall be in accordance with manufacturers recommendations (see 7.1.9.1(b).(WarningAqueous developers may cause stripping of indications if not properly applie
40、d and controlled. The procedure shouldbe qualified in accordance with 9.2. )6.4.3 Nonaqueous, Wet Developers are supplied as suspensions of developer particles in a nonaqueous, solvent carrier ready foruse as supplied. Nonaqueous, wet developers form a coating on the surface of the part when dried,
41、which serves as the developingmedium for fluorescent penetrants (see 7.1.9.1(c). (WarningThis type of developer is intended for application by spray only.)6.4.4 Liquid Film Developers are solutions or colloidal suspensions of resins/polymer in a suitable carrier.These developers willform a transpare
42、nt or translucent coating on the surface of the part. Certain types of film developer may be stripped from the partand retained for record purposes (see 7.1.9.1(d).7. Procedure7.1 The following general procedure applies to the fluorescent penetrant examination hydrophilic post-emulsification method(
43、see Fig. 1).7.1.1 Temperature LimitsThe temperature of the penetrant materials and the surface of the part to be processed should bebetween 40 and 125F (4 and 52C). Where it is not practical to comply with these temperature limitations, qualify the procedureat the temperature of intended use as desc
44、ribed in 9.2.7.1.2 Surface Conditioning Prior to Penetrant InspectionSatisfactory results may be obtained on surfaces in the as-welded,as-rolled, as-cast, or as-forged conditions or for ceramics in the densified condition. These sensitive penetrants are generally lesseasily rinsed away and are there
45、fore less suitable for rougher surfaces. When only loose surface residuals are present, these maybe removed by wiping the surface with clean lint-free cloths. However, precleaning of metals to remove processing residuals suchas oil, graphite, scale, insulating materials, coatings, and so forth, shou
46、ld be done using cleaning solvents, vapor degreasing orchemical removing processes. Surface conditioning by grinding, machining, polishing or etching shall follow shot, sand, grit andvapor blasting to remove the peened skin and when penetrant entrapment in surface irregularities might mask the indic
47、ations ofunacceptable discontinuities or otherwise interfere with the effectiveness of the examination. For metals, unless otherwisespecified, etching shall be performed when evidence exists that previous cleaning, surface treatments or service usage haveproduced a surface condition that degrades th
48、e effectiveness of the examination. (See Annex on Mechanical Cleaning and SurfaceConditioning andAnnex onAcid Etching in Test Method Parts and Materials in Practice E165E165/E165M for general precautionsrelative to surface preparation.)NOTE 2When agreed between purchaser and supplier, grit blasting
49、without subsequent etching may be an acceptable cleaning method.(WarningSand or shot blasting may possibly close indications and extreme care should be used with grinding and machining operations.)NOTE 3For structural or electronic ceramics, surface preparation by grinding, sand blasting and etching for penetrant examination is notrecommended because of the potential for damage.7.1.3 Removal of Surface Contaminants:7.1.3.1 PrecleaningThe success of any penetrant examination procedure is greatly dependent upon the surface anddiscontinuity being free of any cont
