Slide1
Non-Destructive testing is the use of noninvasive techniques to determine the integrity of a material, component or structure or quantitatively measure some characteristics of an object. It is the testing of materials, for surface or internal flaws or metallurgical condition, without interfering in any way with the integrity of the material or its suitability for service.

i.e. Inspect or measure without doing harm.Slide2
NDT increases the safety and reliability of the product during operation.
It decreases the cost of the product by reducing scrap and conserving materials, labor and energy.
It enhances the reputation of the manufacturer as a producer of quality goods. All of the above factors boost the sales of the product which bring more economical benefits for the manufacturer.
NDT is also used widely for routine or periodic determination of quality of the plants and structures during service. This not only increases the safety of operation but also eliminates any forced shut down of the plants.

Visual Testing
Visual testing is the
most basic and common inspection method involves in using of human eyes to look for defects. But now it is done by the use special tools such as video scopes, magnifying glasses, mirrors, or
borescopes
to gain access and more closely inspect the subject area.

Visual Testing Equipments:
Mirrors (especially small, angled mirrors),
Magnifying glasses,
Microscopes (optical and electron),
Borescopes

Closed circuit television (CCTV) systems,

.Slide6
Cheapest and simplest technique in detecting surface flaws
Good light is essential and usually some form of magnification is used.
A disadvantage is that even with magnification of up to 5 times some surface flaws may not be noticed.Slide7

Dye Penetrant Testing
This method is commonly used for detect the surface cracks or defects. Dye penetrant Testing (DPT) is one of the most widely used nondestructive Testing (NDT) methods. DPT can be used to inspect almost any material provided that its surface is not extremely rough.

Dye Penetrant Testing Process
Three liquids are
used in this method.

At first the surface of the material that is to be tested is cleaned by a liquid. The liquid is called cleaner. Slide11

Then a liquid with high surface wetting characteristics is applied to the surface of the part and allowed time to seep into surface breaking defects. This liquid is called penetrant. After five or ten minutes the excess penetrant is removed from the surface.Slide12
Then another liquid is applied to pull the trapped penetrant out the defect and spread it on the surface where it can be seen. This liquid is called deveoper.

Advantages of Dye Penetrant
Testing
This method has high sensitivity to small surface discontinuities.
Large areas and large volumes of parts/materials can be inspected rapidly and at low cost.
Indications are produced directly on the surface of the part and constitute a visual representation of the flaw.
Aerosol spray can make penetrant materials very portable.
Penetrant materials and associated equipments are relatively inexpensive.Slide15
Limitations of Dye Penetrant
Testing
15
Only surface breaking defects can be detected.
Precleaning is critical since contaminants can mask defects.
The inspector must have direct access to the surface being inspected.
Surface finish and roughness can affect inspection sensitivity.
Post cleaning of acceptable parts or materials is required.
Chemical handling and proper disposal is required.
