Liquid Penetrant Testing I/II

Originating in the early 1930s, the railroad industry first used the "Oil and Whiting" technique to detect defects in components, setting the foundation for the modern liquid penetrant method. Liquid Penetrant Testing I & II provides a detailed introduction to this essential inspection method, widely applied in various manufacturing processes to detect surface-breaking defects.

Liquid Penetrant Testing is one of the oldest and still one of the most widely used nondestructive testing methods today. Originating in the early 1930s, the railroad industry first used the "Oil and Whiting" technique to detect defects in components, setting the foundation for the modern liquid penetrant method. Liquid Penetrant Testing I & II provides a detailed introduction to this essential inspection method, widely applied in various manufacturing processes to detect surface-breaking defects.

In this course, we cover:

• •The history and fundamentals of Liquid Penetrant Testing
• •An overview of various testing applications
• •Different types of liquid penetrant equipment
• •The advantages and limitations of the penetrant method
• •Identifying indications and defects
• •The proper reporting and recording of defects

Upon completing this course, students will be able to:

• •Understand the fundamentals of the penetrant method and its various techniques
• •Recognize the pros and cons of using Liquid Penetrant Testing
• •Perform and document examinations in accordance with applicable code requirements

The course includes 16 hours of hands-on training, during which instructors will demonstrate the use of Method A, B, C, & D Type I & II penetrant applications. Students will also engage in mock-up exercises and practical exams designed to simulate real-world NDT scenarios. Upon successful completion, participants will earn 32 total hours of accredited classroom instruction and a Classroom Certificate, with knowledge assessed through an exam.

This course meets the requirements in accordance with SNT-TC-1A, CP189, NAS410, and outline of CP105.
