Recently ASTM International reissued the ASTM E1417-11 Edition, “Standard Practice for Liquid Penetrant Testing,” with editorial corrections. Editorial corrections to an ASTM standard means that the technical content remains unchanged but that the text of the standard has been modified in some way. The new ASTM E1417-11(e1) Edition is available from Document Center Inc. now.
For the ASTM E1417, the editorial changes included corrections to the metric conversions of subsection 6.6.2, deletion of some material in subsection 7.3.4.2, and addition of a phrase in subsection 7.8.2.6.
Since this standard is widely used in the industry, many of our customers are purchasing the corrected copy. FYI: the document establishes the minimum requirements for conducting liquid penetrant examination of nonporous metal, and nonmetal components.
