Dye penetrant inspection (PT) in metals using visible or fluorescent, water washable/solvent removable penetrants.
Dye Penetrant inspection can be performed on a wide range of structural assemblies for welding imperfections, and cast or machined items for manufacturing defects.
Specialist technicians certified to CBIP PT2.
Laboratory procedures and necessary equipment and experience are in place for all common dye penetrant Inspection Standards/Codes and specifications including the Australasian Standards, ASME, ISO, EN, etc.
Dye penetrant inspection can detect defects and imperfections exposed to the surface on non-porous materials by creating Red (or Fluorescent) indications against a white background.
Commonly used for non-ferrous materials such as aluminium and stainless steel.
