Description

This penetrant application/drain/contact and combined wash station can be used for the application of fluorescent dye penetrant and the subsequent penetrant drain and contact time. When the penetrant contact time has expired, parts that have been processed using water washable penetrant are post washed in this booth. In the case of post emulsifiable penetrant, it will be the pre wash.

Features

  • The booth comprises galvanised steel sheet panels with a galvanised grid floor over a stainless steel drain tray.
  • The booth is 2900mm wide and 2710mm from front to back. The internal height is 2050mm from the grid floor to the underside of the ceiling.
  • The rear wall of the booth comprises full width and height extraction slots, through which the fan will draw the airflow through the demisting filter media into the plenum chamber and a 625mm diameter axial fan mounted on the top of the booth.
  • Two pairs of ceiling mounted strip lights with both white and UV-A tubes are provided inside the booth to enable checking for full penetrant coverage of the surfaces to be tested. Separate pull cord switches are provided for white and UV lights.
  • The booth is equipped with two manual liquid penetrant application gun complete with, hoses, penetrant pressure pot and delivery system.
  • The penetrant application gun is interlocked with the extraction system and will not operate unless the extraction system is running.

What Does Fluorescent Penetrant Testing Do for Surface Finishing?

For manufacturing components, especially those with critical functions, penetrant testing is the non-destructive testing (NDT) method that checks for surface flaws that could result in component instabilities if not found. Used for quality control, regulatory compliance, failure analysis and routine maintenance.

Fluorescent penetrant testing involves applying a fluorescent penetrant dye with a low surface tension, allowing it to infiltrate all the imperfections to the surface. That is then further developed and viewed inside a dark room/area with UV lighting to highlight the flaws to the inspector.
