    Uploaded by

    unknown unexplained
    Liquid penetrant testing (LPT) uses liquid capillarity to locate surface defects in materials. Applus+ uses quality testing products and certified technicians to provide LPT services across North America per ASNT and ASTM standards. LPT can detect manufacturing defects and in-service issues like cracks in industries like aerospace, power, and oil/gas to improve reliability and reduce costs from defects. Applus+ offers both visible and fluorescent LPT methods.

    Liquid Penetrant Testing (LPT)


    Liquid penetrant testing (LPT) is one of the most widely used non-destructive testing methods. LPT is
    based on capillarity or capillary attraction, where a liquid is able to flow into narrow spaces without
    the assistance of – or even in opposition to – external forces such as gravity. The materials processes
    and procedures used in liquid penetrant testing are designed to make the results of this capillary action
    visible and capable of interpretation. Liquid penetrant testing is an effective means of locating and
    determining the severity of surface discontinuities in materials, including those that are not visible to
    the naked eye.

    The Applus+ solution


    Applus+ uses only quality products from the industry´s top suppliers, such as Sherwin
    and Magnaflux. Our mobile units can provide services anywhere in North America. We
    also have laboratories available that can provide testing on products shipped to these
    locations. Our procedures comply with ASNT and ASTM requirements. We have
    certified Level III technicians on staff to provide support and guidance as well as
    developing new procedures when required.

    Target customers
    LPT can be used to locate and evaluate defects throughout an items life-cycle, such as:
    Manufacturing defects open to the surface (such as cracks)
    ●

    Lack of fusion
    ●

    Porosity (gas pockets)


    ●

    Cold shuts, inclusions


    ●

    Hot tears
    ●

    Gas holes
    ●

    LPT can also detect in-service discontinuities such as:


    Contact: info@applus.com

    ● Fatigue cracks
    ● HIC
    ● SOHIC
    ● SCC
    Early identification of in-service discontinuities means that outages can be planned and
    executed properly rather than as an emergency. This testing method is used in a variety
    of industries such as aerospace, food processing, power generation, oil/mining
    production and refining, maritime and more.

    Key customer benefits


    The complexity of modern industry and the demand for safer and more reliable products
    and equipment dictate the use of fabrication and testing procedures that will ensure
    maximum reliability. Liquid penetrant testing, when applied properly, can provide:
    ●Increased product reliability
    ●Improved production processes by identifying problems in a timely fashion so that
    they can be corrected
    ●Reduced costs in terms of fewer returned items and less rework
    ●Overall improved quality
