Liquid Penetrant Testing
KD-Check
... if cracks shall be detected with liquid penetrants testing
Liquid Penetrant Testing is a nondestructive testing (NDT) method, which enables the visualization of surface cracks if the defect is open to the surface. Inhomogenities in the volume cannot be detected.
Mainly metals, but also plastics and ceramics can be inspected with liquid penetrant testing. It is recommended to execute a tolerance check on plastics before beginning the inspection.
The method is very sensitive. Cracks or pores with typical widths between 0.5 m and 10 m and depths
between 20 m and 200 m can be detected by means of the liquid penetrant testing method.
Dye penetrant testing (red-white method)
Dye penetrant
Red penetrants are often used because of the easy handling. Only one spray can of cleaner, penetrant
and developer is required for inspection in each case. Therefore, the penetrant method is well suited for
Fluorescent penetrant
on-site inspections, in case of maintenance and for random tests. The evaluation is carried out in

normal daylight.

Fluorescent penetrant testing
KD-Check agents in spray cans
Due to higher sensitivities of fluorescent test liquids this method is mainly applied for the serial inspection
of safety relevant objects, e.g. in the aerospace and automotive industry. By means of stationary testing
systems a large number of objects can be tested reproducibly within a short time. The testing sensitivity is
further increased by using dry developers which are applied electrostatically.
