ASTM E165 Liquid Penetrant Test for General Industry

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM E165 testing. This standard covers procedures for the penetrating inspection of materials.

Penetrant testing is a non-destructive testing method for detecting surface-open discontinuities such as cracks, seams, laps, cold seals, shrinkage, laminations, leaks or lack of fusion, and is applicable for in-process, final and maintenance.

It can be effectively used in the examination of non-porous, metallic materials, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and non-metallic materials such as non-porous glazed or fully densified ceramics, as well as some non-porous plastics and glass.

The ability to review a liquid penetrant inspection process recommended or required by individual organizations to ascertain its viability and completeness.

For use in the preparation of process specifications and procedures for liquid penetrant testing of parts and materials. Agreement of the customer requesting penetrant testing is highly recommended. All areas of this application may be open to agreement between the conscious engineering organization and the supplier, or to a certain direction from the conscious engineering organization.

This application does not specify or recommend criteria for evaluating indicators obtained by penetrant testing. It should be noted, however, that once symptoms are found, they must be interpreted or classified and then evaluated. To this end, there should be a separate code, standard or special agreement that defines the type, size, location and direction of indicators considered acceptable and unacceptable.

Values ​​stated in SI units or inch-pound units will be considered standard separately. The values ​​specified in each system may not be exactly equivalent; therefore, each system should be used independently of the other. Combining values ​​from the two systems may result in non-compliance with the standard.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
