Typical fluorescent penetrant indication |
|
Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne precision fluorescent penetrant techniques are proven and capable. Our unique process uses a custom manufactured ultrahigh sensitivity level 4+ post emulsifiable fluorescent penetrant to detect flaws normally not seen with standard penetrant methods. The process actually incorporates the penetrant, optimized processing, high magnification viewing, digital imaging and highly trained inspectors. Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne (PWR) designed this process for engineering evaluations of focused areas of interest where detection of even the smallest flaw is desired. PWR employs highly skilled and certified penetrant inspectors that have demonstrated to probability of detection lengths of less than 0.032” at 90/95 POD. These unique, world-class processes can be used for fluorescent penetrant inspection of Aluminum and Titanium, as well Steel, Titanium, and Nickel-based alloys. See our Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection white paper on this process.
