Liquid Penetrant

Liquid penetrant testing exploits the high capillary action of particular fluids to seep into surface-breaking features, thus revealing the presence of flaws. In this video, a basic red penetrant is applied to a part and, after a specific procedure, is blotted back out of a crack, spreading laterally enough to provide an indication vivid enough for detection. While ostensibly simple in application, this test method requires careful attention to processing details to maximize its potential for flaw-finding.

Magnetic Particle movie

This video shows the magnetic particle process. When a current is passed through a test object, a magnetic field is established perpendicular to the current direction. At the point of surface-breaking cracks, this field leaks into the air, attracting fine magnetic particles. In the instance shown, the particles have been tagged with a fluorescent tracer to stand out vividly when viewed under ultraviolet lighting.
