Non-destructive testing

The main aim of this book is to provide a concise guide to the penetrant inspection method of non-destructive testing. The emphasis is practical and is aimed at indicating how the various processes can be applied. The book begins with a survey of the history of the technology and the introduction of non-destructive testing. It goes on to discuss the penetrant process itself, its development, principles of the processes, techniques, choice of methods and the equipment that can be used. It also examines the quality control of penetrant materials and processes. The final chapters deal with health and safety and the management of penetrant waste.

Reviews for Penetrant Testing: A practical guide

...the author is experienced in this field of penetrant testing. The book contains enough information for planning and using a penetrant testing method to the fullest advantage of this important technique. - Applied Mechanics Review; ..a very interesting and valuable source of information...lots of diagrams, tables, illustrations and photographs which add to the well prepared and presented text...recommended this book to the professional and student alike. - Quality News; Excellent information on the mechanisms of failure, defects and their origins ... Classic diagrams are provided which illustrate the manufacturing processes and metallurgical features. This information is important to give NDT personnel basic metallurgical knowledge which is often lacking concise but thorough guide to the practical application of the penetrant method of NDT. Despite the strong practical emphasis, theoretical background is given to explain why particular procedures are adopted |o Metals and Materials; Thorough Guide...The procedures are explained in a thorough manner, being accompanied by over 50 figures together with tables, also by questions and answers for each chapter...Ecological, economic, health and safety aspects are all addressed. The cost of the book is minute in comparison with the consequential losses of a material losses--|o Energy World |d 11/92u
