SAEP-1145 Section 7
7.1 Lighting and lighting intensity shall meet the requirements of ASME V, Article 6, T-676.3 for color contrast (visible) PT examination, and T-676.4 for fluorescent PT examinations,
unless otherwise specified in this procedure.
7.2 Visible and UV light sources and meter specifications and requirements shall meet the requirements of ASTM E2297.
7.3 Color Contrast (Visible) PT indications can be examined in either natural or artificial white light. PT examinations performed in the field or at shop with color contrast require a
minimum of 1000 lux (100 fc) of white light illumination at the examination surface for adequate evaluation of indications. The reading shall be recorded on the PT Inspection report.
7.4 Every attempt shall be made to darken the area as much as possible prior to conducting a fluorescent penetrant examination through the use of a blanket, hood, or portable booth.
7.5 Ultraviolet light intensity shall be measured at the examination surface prior to the fluorescent penetrant examination. The light sensor shall be placed on the surface to be tested.
The black light should be centered perpendicular (90°) to the light sensor at a distance of 381 mm (15 inches). The light should be maneuvered in such a manner as to monitor the light
meter and achieve the highest intensity reading. The reading shall be recorded on the PT Inspection report.
7.7 Examinations requiring the use of ultraviolet light shall be conducted in a darkened area of 21 lux (2 fc) or less of white light intensity as measured at the surface to be tested, as per
ASTM E1417, paragraph 6.6.1.
7.8 The ultraviolet light intensity at the examination surface shall be measured:
• Prior to use
• After completion of examinations
• At least every 4 hours.
• Whenever the work location is changed.
• After changing a component of the unit such as a filter or bulb.
• After a black light unit failure.
• Whenever power source is interrupted or changes.
7.9 The light meters shall be calibrated every 1 year and bear an authentic seal which presents the date calibration was accomplished and the next due date, as per ISO 3059, Section 8.
7.10 A minimum of 3000 μW/cm² is required for field inspections in areas of ambient white light which exceed 21 lux (2 fc) as measured at the examination surface. A minimum value of
1000 μW/cm² is required for work in a darkened area of 21 lux or less, as per ASTM E165, paragraph 8.9.1 and ISO 3059, Section 6.3.
7.11 The UV light must be allowed to warm-up a minimum for 5 minutes prior to use as per ASTM E165, paragraph 8.9.1.2. In the event power is lost, many lights require 20 minutes
before they will restart. Regardless, if the power is lost, an additional warm-up time of 10 minutes is required to assure proper performance of the UV light.
7.12 The inspector should be in the darkened examination area for at least 5 minutes prior to examination to allow the eyes to adapt to the dark viewing, as per ASME V, Article 6, T-
676.4(b).
