1. When performing a liquid penetrant test using solvent removable visible dye penetrant one method listed
below is generally regarded as most suitable for giving accurate test results?
Squirting solvent over the surface with no more than 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure.
Wiping with a soaking wet cloth, then wiping with a dry cloth.
Wiping with a solvent dampened cloth, then wiping with dry cloths.
Wiping with dry paper wipes, then wiping with a solvent dampened cloth, and finally wiping with dry cloth.
2. Which of the following is a purpose of the drying process used in penetrant testing?
The drying proceslis used to assure that all excess penetrant will evaporate
The drying process assures the uniform drying of dry developer applied over a wet emulsifier.
After the application of a wet developer, the drying process aids in securing a uniform developer coating.
3. Which of the following is a discontinuity that might be found in rolled plate stock?
Shrinkage cracks.
Inclusions.
Forginglaps.
Blow holes.
4. Fluorescent materials used in fluorescent penetrants respond most actively to radiant energy, of a
wavelength of approximately:
700nm
3650nm
365 nm
1000 lux
5. When penetrant testing for shallow discontinuities using a post emulsification penetrant, the
emulsification time should be long enough to:
Mix the emulsifier with all the penetrant on the surface and in discontinuities.
As an aid in washing off the surface of parts when using either the water or oil soluble penetrants.
over washing
light leaks
over developing
9. Prior to penetrant testing of a soft metal part, which of the following cleaning methods would best remove
any smeared metal?
etching
shot peening
detergent cleaning
vapour degreasing
10. Cast grey iron would be inspected using what inspection technique:
solvent removable
post-emulsifiable
water washable
