After provision of cracks. Test panel are manufactured by separating a plated panel into two pieces with a
cutting line perpendicu1ar to the direction of cracks so that excellent symmetry proportion of the two panels
is obtained.
By using this advantage, the panel is effective. In comparing performance characteristics of various
penetrant liquids, aging check of penetrant liquid on the inspection lines. etc.
Thus, the way of maintaining the performance of penetrant liquid is provided by selecting the Type of test
panels according to the sensitivity of penetrant liquid:
CRACK DEPTHS
The crack depth (D) of the TYPE- 1 test panel is equal to
the thickness of nickel and chrome plated on the surface of
brass board. (See Fig. - 2)
As shown in Fig. –1, the average value of four corners of
test panel measured is considered as plate thickness. Each
measured value shall be within ± 10% of the rated size.
CRACK INDICATION
Photo-2 shows an example of the crack indication on TYPE-I
50 µm test panel inspected by using normal sensitivity of
fluorescent penetrant and non-aqueous wet developer. As this
photo shows that every cracks on the pair of the two pieces
panel are obtained excellent symmetrical proportion. Thus,
exact comparison test can be done for various penetrant
materials.
APPLICATION
These tests panels are used for the confirmation of sensitivity
level for the penetrant inspection material and systems. They
are also used to regularly check the performance of
penetration inspection materials and equipment
