Penetrant Testing (PT), used for detecting cracks and other surface defects on nonporous solid materials, is one of the most commonly used nondestructive testing methods. This course covers theory and principles as well as procedures and techniques using a range of materials. Applied mathematics will be included. Labs will focus on water-removable penetrants with a variety of developers. Quality control will be stressed.
