NOTE:
1) All current forms required for the implementation of this procedure are located in Doc.
No. QA3B1/ANI.
2) Records for all renewal examinations, whether satisfactory or unsatisfactory, shall be
kept.
13.2 NDT PERSONNEL RESPONSIBILITY
The NDT personnel have responsibility to:
a. Fluorescent (liquid) Penetrant inspection (PT):
1) Perform controls such as penetrant comparison test, water contamination test
penetrant wash-ability test, penetrant sensitivity test, etc. as described in the
appropriate process control procedures. The tests are performed daily, weekly and
monthly and the results are recorded on the forms as described in the appropriate
NDT methods procedures.
2) Select the process to be used for each application according to the sensitivity
required, the type of defect sought, and the available equipment. Consult the
Taskcard, workcard and maintenance manual requirements for type of penetrant to be
used. Knowing the kind of penetrant to be used, perform the process as required by
the NDT procedure or manufacturers’ technical manuals;
3) During the inspection process, it is important to remember that the penetrant must
enter and fill the surface before an accurate indication of the defect can be obtained.
The surface being inspected must be thoroughly clean and dry and sufficient time
must be allowed for the penetrant to fill the discontinuity completely. The time period
will vary considerably, depending upon the type of penetrant used, type of material
being inspected, sensitivity required, and types of defects expected to be found (refer
to appropriate NDT procedures or Standard Practices);
4) Care must be taken to ensure that none of the penetrant is washed out of the defect
while the excess is being removed form the surface.

CAUTION
NEVER USE PENETRANT REMOVER TO CLEAN THE SURFACE FROM
EXCESSIVE PENETRANT, USE ONLY APPROVED CLEANERS.
5) Use developers; A proper indication of the flaw depends upon the amount of penetrant
drawn out of it by the developer, and spread on the surface;
6) Control the ultra violent light intensity to be within limits as required by the NDT
procedures. Allow time while the black light is on before inspecting the parts;
7) After completion of any penetrant inspection process, all traces of inspection material
residues must be removed within as soon as possible. Thoroughly clean the parts
using any suitable approved method;
8) It is very important that the part be clean and free of foreign material of all kinds,
including moisture that may clog surface discontinuities and. Thereby interface with
the efficient action of the penetrant. Keep the part(s) in the oven as long as required to
become properly dried. Adjust the oven to the correct temperature and ensure that the
temperature is maintained in limits all the time (consult manufacturers’ standard
practices and/or NDT procedure for the proper temperature the time);
9) Paint, varnish or similar coatings as well as grease dirt, and corrosion must be
completely removed to prevent the development of misleading indications. Plating
should also be removed down to the base metal if this can conveniently be done
without camouflaging any surface defects. Refer to NDT procedures of manufacturers’
manuals for information on parts preparation;
10) Wear gloves to protect the hands and, if necessary, wash skin with soap and water as
soon as possible. Wear safely glasses, goggles, or plastic face shield whenever there
is risk of the solvent splashing.
CAUTION
KEEP PENETRANT AND SOLVENT OFF OF CLOTHES AND SKIN. THESE
CHEMICALS CAUSE IRRITATION WHEN IN PROLONGED CONTACT WITH THE
SKIN.

11) Provide adequate ventilation at all times, vapors arising from the penetrant or solvent
may be toxic.
12) Dry developer powders are considered harmless, but the inhaling of excessive
amounts should be avoided.
13) Avoid looking directly in the black-light source. The liquid in the eyeball glows in black
light and causes the viewer’s sight to become hazy. The effect is not so harmful, and
normal vision is restored after a momentary period of adjustment.
b. Magnetic Particle Inspection (MT):
1) Perform controls such as bath concentration, known defect check, ultra violet light
intensity, machine amperage, etc. as described in the appropriate process control
procedures. The tests are performed daily, weekly and every six months and the
results are recorded on the forms as described in the appropriate NDT methods
procedures.
2) Determine the method of applying the magnetic fields on to the part. The direction of
the magnetic field is very critical for detecting discontinuities. Ensure the that the lines
of force are at right angles to the longest dimension of the discontinuity if the best
inspection results are to be obtained;

3) Perform the following procedure (refer also to manufacturers’ manuals):


a) Ensure that the part is properly cleaned; The part must be as clean as required by
the parts processed through inspection;
b) Magnetize the part; Equipment to magnetize the part depends on material,
location, and the type of defect being sought. Use the appropriate current DC or
AC and the appropriate Amperage. Refer to NDT procedures and manufacturers’
manuals;
c) Coat the magnetized area with magnetic particles and check for defects, surface or
subsurface;
d) Demagnetize the part after inspection;
e) Check the part with a standard magnetic field indicator to assure complete
demagnetization.
CAUTION
FAILURE TO DEMAGNETIZE THE PARTS WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE
AIRCRAFT DURING OPERATION.

f)
Clean the parts after performing Magnetic Particle Inspection. If inspection has
been made with the oil suspension method, magnetic particle residue must be
removed by solvent cleaning or vapor degreasing. If inspection has been made
with water suspension method, clean the part. If the part is cadmium plated use an
air water vapor blast to remove residue;
g) Clean
h) Keep cleaning fluids or magnetic particles out of areas where they could get
entrapped;
i) Do not magnetize bearings;
j) Avoid arc strikes during magnetization to preclude possible damage to critical
items.
c. Eddy Current Inspection (ET):
1) Assure that prior to inspection a known defect sample is processed to facilitate the
instrumentation interpretation;
2) Prior to using the instrumentation for thickness requirements, ensure that the
instrument is calibrated by using a sample of similar material and a known thickness;
3) Make sure that the surface of the area being inspected is thoroughly cleaned so the
eddy current probe can make good contact;
4) Ensure that the proper eddy current equipment selected has been designed to
accomplish the work.
NOTE : Some test equipment have been designed to be used on magnetic materials,
other for use on non-magnetic materials and some models are designed for
use on both type materials. The manufacturer’s specifications should always
be consulted to assure that the eddy current equipment has the capacity to
accomplish the particular inspection application.
d. Ultrasonic Inspection (UT):
1) Ensure that prior to inspection, a known defect sample is proceed to calibrate the
instrumentation;
