Anode NDT offers Liquid Penetrant Inspection in Grande Prairie and Western Canada
Liquid penetrant non-destructive inspection is a reliable but inexpensive testing method, minimizing the potential of putting lives and finances at risk. When performed properly by qualified technicians, it is phenomenal at finding surface flaws in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Its ability to locate the faintest surface flaws makes liquid penetrant useful for finding deficiencies, which tend to generate or rise to the surface.
Modern and Up to Date Equipment
We rely on well maintained, superior equipment to do our job well. All of our trucks are equipped with the most current international non-destructive testing standards and are maintained with care.
Affordable, accurate and easy to use in a variety of environments, liquid penetrant testing is an adept method of ensuring the safe, smooth operation of your equipment.
How it Works
Like magnetic particle inspection, liquid penetrant inspection is an affordable and efficient method of testing equipment for surface defects. But while magnetic particle inspection only works on ferrous (magnetizable) materials, liquid penetrant can be used on both ferrous (magnetizable) and non-ferrous (non-magnetizable), hard, non-porous surfaces.
Once the surface of the material is thoroughly cleaned, a penetrant (dye suspended in liquid) is applied to the examination surface and left to penetrate for a given period. Once this period has expired and sufficient capillary reaction has been achieved, the excess penetrant is removed from the examination surface and a developer is applied. This developer draws out any dye that has penetrated surface breaking indications, resulting in a visible presentation of the deficiency. It is at this point that the technician will evaluate the flaw.
