Liquid Penetrant Testing - Level I

Liquid Penetrant Testing - Level I

Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT) is a widely used method for detecting surface discontinuities in materials. This method involves applying a liquid dye to the surface of a material and allowing it to dwell for a specific period. The dye can be a visible color or a fluorescent color that requires special lighting conditions for effective visibility. Through capillary action, the liquid dye enters discontinuities that are open to the surface of the material. After excess dye removal, a developer is applied to the surface, causing the trapped dye in discontinuities to be drawn back onto the surface, forming indications. These indications are then interpreted by qualified personnel. PT is suitable for most non-absorbent materials.

Responsibilities of Certified Level I:

Individuals certified to Penetrant Testing Level I have demonstrated competence to perform PT according to written instructions and under the supervision of Level 2 or Level 3 personnel. Level I personnel, within the defined scope of their certificate, may be authorized by their employer to:

• Set up Penetrant Testing equipment
• Perform Penetrant Inspection tests
• Record and classify results of tests according to written criteria
• Report the results of Penetrant tests
• Level I certified personnel are not responsible for choosing the test method or technique to be used, nor for interpreting the test results.

Training & Exam Duration:

Liquid Penetrant Testing - Level I training typically requires 16 hours of instruction. Additionally, SNT-TC-1A training for 8 hours is recommended to enhance understanding and compliance with industry standards.

Work Experience Requirement:

• To qualify for PCN Level I certification in PT, candidates must complete a minimum of 1 month of supervised work experience in PT. This requirement ensures practical exposure to PT techniques and procedures under the guidance of experienced personnel.
• Note: The Liquid Penetrant Testing Level I course equips individuals with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively carry out PT inspections.
