Accessories
Accessories for non-destructive testing (NDT) using the penetrant testing (PT) method include a range of tools that support proper application, inspection, and evaluation of indications. PT meters are used to measure parameters such as penetrant dwell time, developer thickness, and ensure correct process conditions, helping maintain repeatability and accuracy of inspections. PT standards (reference specimens with known defects) are essential for calibrating equipment, verifying sensitivity, and ensuring that the inspection system reliably detects surface-breaking discontinuities such as cracks, laps, and porosity.
UV lamps are used for fluorescent penetrant inspections, providing uniform ultraviolet illumination to make indications clearly visible. High-quality UV lamps ensure that fluorescent indications are bright and easily detected, improving the reliability of defect identification. Together, these accessories enable accurate, consistent, and standardized PT inspections across various materials and components.
