What is it?
This two day (16 hrs.) course provides basic knowledge of the liquid penetrant inspection
method. Emphasis is placed on both color contrast visible and fluorescent penetrants and
the solvent removable, water washable and post emulsified penetrant removal methods. In
addition to covering the theoretical aspects of this method, the course provides demonstrations and
practical hands-on laboratory time on both portable and stationary equipment.
Who should attend?
The course is designed for manufacturers, NDT inspection companies, services companies, and overhaul
facilities, who require their personnel to be trained in Penetrant Testing, used to locate inherent,
processing or service discontinuities in nonporous materials.
