Test method
Fluorescent penetrant testing is a method to find fine flaws opened on the surface of the test specimen by impregnating a shimmery liquid with into them to enlarge to the flaw.In fluorescent penetrant testing in the aerospace industry, the inspection needs to be conducted upon selecting flaw detection materials and devices according to standards such as ASTM and AMS.
* For those who are considering the fluorescent penetrant testing other than the aircraft industry, please see here. (Link to the general is placed)

Features of testing
feature
Use of flaw detection materials, devices, and equipment conforming/according to the standards related to the aircraft.
feature
Regularly check the performance of flaw detection materials, equipment, and devices to be used.
(Fatigue test of flaw detection materials, regular inspection of flaw detection equipment, calibration of black lights and measuring instruments, etc.)
feature
Inspection by a qualified technician is required.
Flow of flaw detection
Fluorescent penetrant testing in the aircraft industry is performed by one of the following procedures

In-Use testing
Penetrant used for testing can become contaminated with foreign material or moisture,resulting in it becoming degraded, such that highly reliable test results cannot be obtained. We receive the penetrant you are currently using to perform testing based on ASTM, AMS, and similar standards. Test results are provided in the form of a In-Use testing results report.
