 The fluorescent type, water-washable or solvent removable

method of PT (Type I, Methods A or C) shall be used on hard
face surfaces of gates, seats, and stems.
10.3 Penetrant Application

10.3.1 (All Methods): Verify that the surface(s) to be
examined are clean and within the permitted
temperature range. Apply the penetrant to the
surface(s) by spraying, brushing or immersing until
they are completely covered with penetrant.

10.4 Duel Time

10.4.1 The minimum application (dwell) time for liquid
penetrant material shall be standardized for Lunik
Engineering applications at 15 minutes.
NOTE:
The minimum dwell time for HVOF type TC hard facing
of valve gates, stems and seats using wet fluorescent
liquid penetrant inspection shall be 10 minutes.
10.4.2 The penetrant must remain wet for the duration of the
dwell time. Areas of penetrant that dry prior to
theend of the dwell time require reapplication of the
penetrant. Reapplied penetrant shall remain on the
surface for the original prescribed dwell time.
10.5 Removal of Excess Penetrant
10.5.1 Solvent Removable Penetrants: Wipe the surface with a

clean, lint free cloth until most traces of penetrant
have been removed. Remove the remaining traces of
penetrant by wiping with a clean, lint free cloth
lightly moistened with solvent.
Note: Do not spray or pour solvent directly on the surface

to be examined as this may flush penetrant out of any
discontinuities.
10.5.2 Water Washable Penetrants: Remove excess penetrant

with a coarse water spray not exceeding 40 psi. The
temperature of the water shall not be below 40°F
(4.4°C) or above 110°F (43°C). Generally a spray
angle of 45 to 70 degrees is most effective. Water
washable penetrant can be easily over washed; wash
time must be closely controlled. Avoid over washing
as excessive washing can wash penetrant out of
discontinuities.
NOTE: Use of a water soaked cloth to remove water washable

penetrant is prohibited.
Washing of fluorescent penetrant should be done under
black light in a semi-darkened area and the washing
should be stopped as soon as an acceptable background
level is reached.

10.6 Drying of Parts
10.6.1 Solvent Removable Penetrants: The surfaces to be

examined may be dried by normal evaporation, blotting,
wiping or controlled or filtered forced air not
exceeding 10 psi.
10.6.2 Water Washable Penetrants: Drying of the surfaces may

be by normal evaporation, forced air not exceeding 10
psi, or by blotting the surface with a clean, lint
free cloth, provided the temperature of the material
is not raised above125F° (50°C).
10.7 Developer Application

10.7.1 Aqueous wet developers shall be applied immediately
after the excess penetrant has been removed and prior
to any drying. Aqueous developers may be applied by
spraying, flowing or immersing the part.
10.7.2 Nonaqueous wet developers shall be applied as soon as

the examination area is dry, but no longer than 15
minutes after the excess penetrant has been removed.
10.7.3 Nonaqueous wet developers shall be applied by

spraying the developer over the entire examination
surface resulting in a thin even coat.
10.7.4 Nonaqueous wet developers shall be allowed to dry by

normalevaporation.
10.7.5 Dry power developers shall be applied by dusting the

examination surface with a hand bulb or mechanical
blower or with the part enclosed in a dust chamber.
10.8 Developing Time

10.11.1 Development time shall begin when the developer
has completely dried. The minimum development
time shall be 10 minutes. The maximum
development time shall be 60 minutes.

components where (Note 1)
cladding is left in
the as-welded
condition (not

Notes:
1. Locations of indications are to be recorded in such a manner
that the location can be referenced to the recording of the VT
inspection. Upon completion of the PT inspection the developer
is to be removed and the VT examination (using camera system) is
repeated at the recorded locations of the PT indications. The

absence of any visual porosity or other visible defect

identified by VT examination is to be confirmed.
To permit the acceptance of rounded indications of a size <1.5

mm, additionally inspect the clad layer volumetricallyto confirm
that the porosity has not penetrated into the first 1/8" (3 mm)
of the cladding to the base material.
12.0 INTERPRETATION
Final interpretation shall be made after allowing the penetrant
to bleed out for 10 to 30 minutes.
12.1 Broad or blurry areas of pigmentation may be difficult to

evaluate. When necessary to evaluate blurred indications, the
area will be reexamined as above by cleaning and reapplication
of penetrant and developer as per the original application.
Close observation of the indications of interest during
development should enable the indications to be accurately
characterized and measured.
12.1.1 Indications which are believed to be non-relevant

shall be regarded as relevant until re-examined by
liquid penetrant or another nondestructive testing
method to determine whether or not an actual
imperfection exists. With approval of the Level III
of Lunik Engineering, surface conditioning may be
done prior to the reexamination.
13.0 Post cleaning: Removing residual penetrant and developer is

Required on all parts.
Note: When required, the NDE supplier is responsible for

system performance verification of the penetrant,
emulsifier, remover, and developer by application
against testing panels containing known defects (such
as the ISO 3452-3 blocks or PSM5 Tam panels.)
14.0 TYPES OF PENETRANTS AND TECHNIQUES:

14.1 Penetrant Types
14.1.1 Visible (Colour contrast) penetrant – A highly

penetrating liquid incorporating a non-fluorescent
dye which produces indications of such intensity that
they are readily visible during examination under
white light. Red dyes are most commonly used because
they provide excellent contrast.

14.1.2 Fluorescent penetrant – A highly penetrating liquid

that fluoresces under black light illumination
resulting in excellent visibility.
14.2 Penetrant Techniques – Visible and fluorescent penetrants

can be used with any of the following techniques
14.2.1 Water washable penetrants include an emulsifier which

makes it possible to remove excess penetrant from the
surface with water.
14.2.2 Solvent removable penetrants require the use of a

solvent to remove excess penetrant.
15.0 SYSTEM PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION:

15.1 The overall performance of the PT system which includes the
equipment, personnel, particles,and lightingshall be verified
according to ASTM E709 at regular intervals as stated in Table 7.
The performance verification results shall be recorded and
maintained for a minimum of one year.

 Particles used
 Results of Examination indicating acceptance, rejection or
additional recommended tests.
 Reports for rejected material will include a sketch with
approximate location and size of defects
 NDE Technician's Name, certification type (ASNT, SNT-TC-1A, EN-
473, etc.), and Level.
 Customer Witness Name and Date (if applicable)
17.0 DOCUMENTATION:
17.1 Complete the report as required by section 16 of this procedure.
17.1.1 Record all indications found during the examination on the

report.
WARNING:
 For fluorescent inspections, the black light equipment must be

capable of developing the required wavelengths of 320 to 380 nm
(3200-3800 Å)
A) Wavelengths at or near 365 ƞm (3650Å) shall predominate. The

black light intensity at the examination surface shall not be
less than 1000 micro watts/cm2. Unacceptable intensity
readings will result in re-inspection of all parts examined
since the last acceptable intensity reading.
