    Liquid penetrant testing (LPT) was selected to inspect a 304 stainless steel component in a food treatment plant. [LPT] works on non-porous materials like metals and is safe for use in a food plant. The LPT process involves applying a penetrant that is drawn into surface cracks, removing excess penetrant, and using a developer to draw the penetrant out of cracks for inspection. LPT provides rapid, low-cost inspection of surfaces but can only detect surface defects in non-porous materials.

    NAME: SITI NOOR NATRAH BINTI RUSLI

    MATRIC NO. : 171040800

    PROGRAM: RK12

    METHOD: LIQUID PENETRANT TESTING

    PROBLEM CASE: NO. 1

    JUSTIFICATION OF LPT METHOD


    The selection of LPT is due to location of defects (food treatment plant) and type of tested material (304
    stainless steel). This steel is actually austenitic steel that has non-porosity behavior. Promptly, LPT
    successfully work on nonporous and fairly smooth materials such as metals, glass, plastics and fired
    ceramics. It also safe for testing in food plant.

    PRINCIPLE TESTING OF LPT METHOD


    Liquid penetrant is drawn into the surface-breaking crack by capillary action and excess surface penetrant
    is then removed; a developer (typically a dry powder) is then applied to the surface, to draw out the
    penetrant in the crack and produce a surface indication.

    TESTING PROCEDURES OF LPT METHOD

    Pre-clean Apply penetrant Clean with Spray non- Inspect


    surface cloth wipe aqueous surface
    (10-52oC) 10 minutes 10 minutes
    developer

    ADVANTAGES

     High sensitivity to small surface discontinuities


     Rapid and low cost inspection
     Work on most type of material
     Suitable for large part and complex shape
     Portable equipment

    DISADVANTAGES

     Only detect surface defects


     Only for non-porous materials
     Require pre-cleaning & post-cleaning
     Multiple process operation
     Chemical handling & disposal
