What is BS EN 10228-2 - Penetrant testing about?
BS EN 10228 is a series of European standards on non-destructive testing of steel forgings that discusses the best procedures and specifications required for performing penetrant testing. BS EN 10228-2 is the second part of a series of documents on non-destructive testing of steel forgings. BS EN 10228-2 describes techniques and acceptance criteria to be used for the penetrant testing of steel forgings. The method described is used for the detection of surface discontinuities.
Who is BS EN 10228-2 - Penetrant testing for?
BS EN 10228-2 on non-destructive testing of steel forgings is relevant to:
- Companies involved in metal testing services
- Metal component quality and maintenance services
- Steel foundry
Why should you use BS EN 10228-2- Penetrant testing?
The penetrant method of non-destructive testing is dedicated to detecting surface defects invisible to the naked eye. It is based on the use of capillary properties of liquids. Penetrant testing reveals the defects that are open to the surface.
BS EN 10228-2 navigates you through the test procedure, personnel qualification, testing system, testing products, surface condition, penetrant testing process, removal of defects, test report.
BS EN 10228-2 supplies a state-of-the-art approach to penetrant testing. BS EN 10228-2 can improve the efficiency of penetrant testing. BS EN 10228-2 can help manage the risks of penetrant testing better. BS EN 10228-2 can produce robust test results.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN 10228-2:2016 supersedes BS EN 10228-2:1998 which is withdrawn.
Some significant technical changes to the previous version EN 10228-2:1998 are listed below:
