1、Designation:E165/E165M12Standard Practice forLiquid Penetrant Examination for General Industry1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E165/E165M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A
2、 number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This practice2covers procedures for penetrant examina-tion of materials.Penetrant testing is a nondestructive testingmethod for detectin
3、g discontinuities that are open to the surfacesuch as cracks,seams,laps,cold shuts,shrinkage,laminations,through leaks,or lack of fusion and is applicable to in-process,final,and maintenance testing.It can be effectively used in theexamination of nonporous,metallic materials,ferrous andnonferrous me
4、tals,and of nonmetallic materials such as non-porous glazed or fully densified ceramics,as well as certainnonporous plastics,and glass.1.2 This practice also provides a reference:1.2.1 By which a liquid penetrant examination processrecommended or required by individual organizations can bereviewed t
5、o ascertain its applicability and completeness.1.2.2 For use in the preparation of process specifications andprocedures dealing with the liquid penetrant testing of partsand materials.Agreement by the customer requesting penetrantinspection is strongly recommended.All areas of this practicemay be op
6、en to agreement between the cognizant engineeringorganization and the supplier,or specific direction from thecognizant engineering organization.1.2.3 For use in the organization of facilities and personnelconcerned with liquid penetrant testing.1.3 This practice does not indicate or suggest criteria
7、 forevaluation of the indications obtained by penetrant testing.Itshould be pointed out,however,that after indications havebeen found,they must be interpreted or classified and thenevaluated.For this purpose there must be a separate code,standard,or a specific agreement to define the type,size,locat
8、ion,and direction of indications considered acceptable,and those considered unacceptable.1.4 UnitsThe values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard.Thevalues stated in each system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,each system shall be used indepe
9、ndently of the other.Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and
