4. MATERIALS Storage of Penetrant materials shall be as per manufactures recommendations. The room temperature shall be between 18 to 26 deg C unless no manufactures specifications available.
4.1. MATERIALS a) Solvent cleaner b) Penetrant/remover c) Developer d) Lint free cloth or equivalent
4.2. QUALITY
Only materials of a recognized commercial quality shall be used. Same shall be identified by the manufacturer e.g. Ardrox, Magnaflux or similar, to a known, related specification. For the purpose of this procedure consumables in aerosol can form shall be used. LPI Kit shall be from same manufacturer. Mixing is not allowed. The penetrant shall be of low sulphur contents.
5. SURFACE CONDITION Satisfactory results can usually be obtained on surfaces in the as welded, as cast, as rolled, or as forged conditions, however surface preparation by grinding or machining is necessary when surface irregularities might mask the indications of unacceptable discontinuities or otherwise interfere with the effectiveness of the examination.
6. METHOD This procedure is intended to cover methods to be employed for liquid penetrant inspection subject to the limitations of access.
6.1. TECHNIQUES
The area or weld under examination shall be cleaned. A liquid penetrant is applied to the surface to be examined and allowed to penetrate discontinuities, all excess penetrant is then removed. The area is dried and a developer applied. The developer functions both as a blotter to penetrant that has been trapped in discontinuities and as a contrasting background to enhance the visibility of penetrant.

6.2. INSPECTION
6.1.1 Surface Preparation
a) Prior to all liquid penetrant inspections, the surface to be examined and all adjacent areas within at least 25mm (1 in) shall be dry and free of dirt, grease, lint, scale, welding flux, weld spatter, oil and other extraneous matter that could obscure surface openings or otherwise interfere with the examination.
b) Typical cleaning agents that may be used are detergents, organic solvents, and de-
scaling solutions and paint removers. Degreasing and ultrasonic cleaning methods may also be used.
c) After cleaning, drying of the surfaces to be inspected shall be accomplished by normal evaporation or with forced hot air, as appropriate. A minimum of 3 minutes drying time shall be given to ensure that the cleaning solution has evaporated before application of the penetrant.
d) A minimum of 1000 lux* is required to ensure adequate sensitivity during the examination & evaluation of indications. (*Note. 1000 lux can be achieved with a 100 W lamp, in a distance of less than 600mm from the testing area/surface.)
6.1.2 Cleaning Process Solvent cleaner method: On removal of any rust, scale, welding flux, and spatter and in general, inorganic soils. The surfaces to be inspected shall be cleaned firstly with a dry, lint-free cloth. Subsequently with a cloth lightly moistened with solvent cleaner and finally cleaned with a dry lint-free cloth.
6.1.3 Drying Process
The drying process shall be accomplished by normal evaporation. Minimum time allowed drying 1 minute.

6.1.4 Application of the Penetrant
a) After the area has been cleaned, dried and the temperature of the surface and penetrant are within the range of 50 to 125F (10 to 52C)
b) The penetrant shall be sprayed directly to the surface to be inspected by the means of an aerosol container, such that the entire part of area under inspection is completely covered with penetrant.
c) After application, excess penetrant shall be allowed to drain from part (care being taken to prevent pools of penetrant forming on the part), while allowing for proper penetrant dwell time.
d) Dwell time shall be in accordance with ASME Section V, SE-165, Table 2, Dwell Times, and Penetrant.
e) All dwell times given are those recommended as minimum. f) Maximum penetrant dwell time shall be 60 minutes. g) After the specified penetrant dwell time has elapsed, any penetrant remaining on the
surface shall be removed with a dry or slightly moistened cloth of solvent cleaner, taking care to minimize removal of penetrant from any possible discontinuity.
h) Flushing the surface with solvent cleaner, following the application of the penetrant and prior to developing is prohibited.
i) Drying process (on removal of all excess penetrant and prior to application of the developer).
The drying process shall be accomplished by normal evaporation minimum time allowed for drying 1 minute.
6.1.5 Application for the developer
a) The non-aqueous wet developer is applied directly to the part by spraying from an aerosol container. A maximum of 3 minutes can be taken after removing of excess Penetrant.
i. The non-aqueous developer evaporates very rapidly at normal room
temperature and does not require the use of a dryer. It should be used, however, with proper ventilation.
ii. Parts shall be sprayed in such a manner as to assure complete part coverage with a thin, even film of developer.
b) Dipping or flooding parts with non-aqueous developer is prohibited. c) Developer dwell time shall not be less than 7 minutes. Dwell times shall be in accordance
with ASME Section V, SE-165, Table 2, Dwell Times, and Developer.

7. INTERPRETATION All indications shall be considered as discontinuities until investigated, upon investigation such indications shall be recognized as weld or material related and relevant, therefore subject to interpretation in accordance with the clients governing specification with regard to accept/reject criteria. For piping the acceptance criteria shall be ASME B 31.1 or ASME B 31.3 whichever is applicable.
ASME Sec.VIII Div.1 App.8*
[*This shall apply unless more restrictive standards are specified for specific materials or applications within ASME Sec VIII Div.1
All surfaces to be examined shall be free of;
Relevant linear indications Relevant rounded indications greater than 3/16 inch(4.8mm) Four or more relevant rounded indications in a line separated by 1/16 inch
(1.6mm) or less edge to edge.
An indication of an imperfection may be larger than the imperfection that causes it; however, the size of the indication is the basis for the evaluation.] Indications considered non-relevant can be caused by change in section, property of material, inadequate preparation (eg. slag, scale etc.) and therefore deemed not detrimental to the weld or area examined.
Should any indication not be identified then item shall be rejected and reported as same for supplementary inspection method to be utilized.
Post-Examination Cleaning: When post-examination cleaning is needed, it shall be conducted as soon as practical using a process that does not adversely affect the part.
