The test surface shall be inspected under daylight or under artificial white light with an
illuminance of not less than 500 lx on the surface of the tested part. The viewing conditions
shall be such that glare and reflections are avoided.
3.2.3 Blocks for penetrant testing
Blocks for penetrant testing include two kinds, one is Type 1 reference block, the other is

mm. All dimensional tolerances are ± 10 % .See following figure.

4 INSPECTION FOR THE SURFACE TO BE INSPECTED

Prepare surface by grinding or brushing. However, sand or shot blasting is not allowed so as to prevent
concealing the openings of the surface defects.
Prior to penetration detection, the detecting area and all adjacent areas at least 1" (25.4mm) shall be dry
and free from object which interfere with the detection of imperfections such as weld spatter, grease, slag,
pits, paint, dust and etc.

5.1 Pre-clean

Cleaning agent shall be used to remove foreign matters in area to be detected like oil
contamination, dirt etc., which will interfere with penetration. Any solvent shall be wiped-off.
5.2 Dry after cleaning

Any liquid residue will impair the penetration; therefore, parts shall be dried completely. Drying can
be done naturally at ambient temperature for ten (10) minutes. The temperature of the parts prior
to penetrant application shall be within the range of 10 ～ 50℃.
5.3 Apply penetrant

Penetrant can be applied through spraying, with the whole surface area to be detected wetted.
Penetration time shall meets requirements in Table 5.3.1, surface temperature of the area to be
detected shall be kept within the required range of 10 ～ 50℃.

Within the required penetration time, surface area to be detected shall be kept wet and penetrant
shall be reapplied to those dry areas.
5.4 Remove surplus penetrate

After penetration, surplus penetrate shall be wiped away with clean rags.
Spray less amount of cleaning agent on the rags and clean the surface to be detected with the rags.
It is not permitted to wipe the area to be detected to and fro. Wash with cleaning agent is not
allowed after penetrant application and prior to developer application.

done. Developer shall be sprayed to the surface wholly to form a uniform film. Immersion or brush
painting is not allowed.
Spray tank shall be shaken fully before developers applied to keep developer in a suspension the
nozzle of the tank shall be 12" - 16" (300 - 400mm) from the surface to be detected, and a proper
angle of 40 - 45°shall be formed.
Developing time shall not be less than that regulated in Table 5.3.1, counting after the developer
film on the surface to be detected is dried.
℃
5.6 Penetrant testing at temperatures out of the range of 10 ～ 50℃

When Penetrant testing at temperatures higher than 50℃, ISO 3452-5-2008 is used.

re-examination following surface conditioning. Indications with a maximum dimension of 2 mm or
less shall be classified as non-relevant. All larger indications, even if considered not to be
detrimental, shall be regarded as relevant until re-examination following surface conditioning.
7.2 Acceptance criteria

The acceptance criteria shall meet Section 9 of ISO13847:2000.

Relevant indications shall be unacceptable if any of the following conditions exist:
a) linear indications evaluated as cracks;
b) linear indications evaluated as incomplete fusion exceeding 25 mm in aggregate length in a
continuous
