Non-destructive testing - Penetrant testing - Part 1 : general principles

This document specifies a method of penetrant testing used to detect discontinuities, e.g. cracks, laps, folds, porosity and lack of fusion, which are open to the surface of the material to be tested using white light or UV-A (365 nm) radiation. It is mainly applied to metallic materials, but can also be performed on other materials, provided that they are inert to the test media and not excessively porous (castings, forgings, welds, ceramics, etc.) This document also includes requirements for process and control testing, but is not intended to be used for acceptance criteria. It gives neither information relating to the suitability of individual test systems for specific applications nor requirements for test equipment. NOTE 1   Methods for determining and monitoring the essential properties of penetrant testing products to be used are specified in ISO 3452-2 and ISO 3452-3. NOTE 2   The term "discontinuity" is used in this document in the sense that no evaluation concerning acceptability or non-acceptability is included. NOTE 3   CEN/TR 16638 addresses penetrant testing using actinic blue light.

Non-destructive testing - Penetrant testing - Part 1 : general principles

Le présent document définit une méthode d'essai par ressuage utilisée pour localiser les discontinuités telles que fissures, replis, plis, porosités et manque de liaison, ouvertes et débouchant à la surface du matériau à examiner. Cette méthode est principalement appliquée aux matériaux métalliques mais peut être également utilisée pour d'autres matériaux pourvu que ceux-ci ne soient pas attaqués par les produits utilisés et ne soient pas excessivement poreux. Parmi les exemples possibles, les pièces moulées, les pièces forgées, les soudures, les céramiques, etc.

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department
To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
