New ASTM E1417 2011 Edition on Standard Practice for Liquid Penetrant Testing

There’s a new edition of the popular Standard Practice for Liquid Penetrant Testing, ASTM E1417-11 2011 Edition.  The 11 page revision replaces the ASTM E1417-05(e1) Edition from 2005 and the MIL-STD-6866.  The document establishes the minimum requirements for conducting liquid penetrant examination of nonporous metal, and nonmetal components.

The document has been redesignated to ASTM E1417/E1417M.  This redesignation means that the document contains measurements in both metric and feet and inches.

This practice is written so it can be specified on the engineering drawing, specification, or contract. It is not a detailed how-to procedure to be used by the inspector and, therefore, must be supplemented by a detailed procedure that conforms to the requirements of this practice. Specification ASTM E165 contains information to help develop detailed requirements.

The penetrant examination processes described in this practice are applicable to in-process, final, and maintenance (in-service) examinations. These processes are applicable for the detection of discontinuities, such as lack of fusion, corrosion, cracks, laps, cold shuts, and porosity, that are open or connected to the surface of the component under examination.

Caution must be exercised in the usage of elevated temperature with components manufactured from thermoplastic materials. Also, some cleaners, penetrants, and developers can have a deleterious effect on nonmetallic materials such as plastics. Prior to examination, tests should be conducted to ensure that none of the cleaning or examination materials are harmful to the components to be examined.
