Dye Penetration Test
At Sukhakarta Technical And Consultancy Services, the dye penetration technique involves applying a penetrating liquid to the component's surface to seep into any cracks or discontinuities. After allowing time for the penetrant to enter, the excess liquid is removed, revealing the indications of any defects.
This method is suitable for any clean, non-porous material, whether metallic or non-metallic, but is not ideal for very rough or contaminated surfaces. Penetrants may contain dyes for visibility under white light or fluorescent substances that glow under ultraviolet light. Fluorescent penetrants are often used for their enhanced sensitivity in detecting flaws.
- Dye penetration inspection is widely used for testing wrought and cast products made of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, powder metallurgy parts, as well as ceramics and glass. Advantages of this method include its applicability to various types and shapes of materials, simplicity, low cost, and suitability for both field and mass production testing.
- We offer comprehensive PT setups, including visible and fluorescent testing with water washable, post-emulsifying, and solvent techniques. Our experienced and qualified staff can perform these inspections both in the field and in controlled environments.
