Non-destructive testing
- Principle -
Dye penetrant testing (PT or LPI) : method based on penetrant application on materials to check flaws and defects on its surface. Adapted penetrant is applied (by spraying or dipping) on the material, then after removal of the excess, a developer is added to highlight the penetrant out of the flaws. These defects are detected by fluorescence with inspection mainly done with UV light at 365nm wavelength.
Magnetic particle inspection (MT or MPI) : technique that involves creating a magnetic flux inside a ferromagnetic material to highlight potential discontinuities or cracks on its surface. When a defect is present in its path, this magnetic flux is deflected and creates a leak which, by attracting the fluorescent particles of a revealing product, provides a particular signature characteristic of the defect. UV light at 365nm wavelength is then used to examine and detect these particles.
