Liquid penetrant inspection (LPI) or paint penetrant inspection is a reliable, efficient and cost-effective method to detect surface defects of sources, castings and other non-destructible components. LPI is a portable surface inspection method that allows our Interactive Experts to perform extensive on-site penetrating examinations.
Liquid penetration inspection is a valuable tool to evaluate non-ferromagnetic and non-metallic materials. In addition to checking defects and cracks, it can also be used to determine other surface properties, such as porosity.
Parts must undergo a pre-cleaning (etch, alkaline or solvent cleaning) before applying the liquid penetrant. After allowing a suitable residence time, the excess penetrating is removed from the surface (but not from possible defects) and the part is dried. Then a developing powder is applied; this developer pulls paint leaking into cracks or pores, resulting in visible signs or indications that identify surface imperfections. Based on the results, an inspector presents a report on the type, number and size of defects on a component.
Our non-destructive testing (NDT) specialists are well trained in liquid penetrating inspection, among other qualifications, and have Level II and III certification from ASNT. EUROLAB provides Type II non-fluorescent NDT services and Type I fluorescent control to aviation, government, nuclear and post-market applications to all of the various commercial and nuclear codes.
