Dye penetrant testing is one of the most widely used non-destructive testing methods for detecting surface-breaking defects such as cracks, porosity and laps in non-porous materials. The process involves applying a liquid penetrant to the test surface, allowing time for it to seep into any defects, removing the excess and then applying a developer to draw the penetrant back out and reveal indications. Available in both colour contrast and fluorescent penetrant formulations, PT inspection is used extensively across aerospace, oil and gas, manufacturing, power generation and mining industries. We offer penetrant testing equipment for both field and workshop applications. View our complete range of
