What is PD CEN/TS 17100-Penetrant testing for photographs and sizing about?
PD CEN/TS 17100 specifies minimum requirements in order to obtain and reproduce photographs used as reference records relative to penetrant testing (PT) colour contrast and fluorescent indications. It also provides requirements for the monitoring of resolution when measurements are to be indirectly performed by recording.
Penetrant testing reveals defects by forming an indication pattern on the surface of tested items. These patterns have high optical contrast and width exceeding width of the defect opening. PD CEN/TS 17100 provides minimum requirements to record indication patterns through photographs and sizing of indications.
Who is PD CEN/TS 17100- Penetrant testing for photographs and sizing for?
PD CEN/TS 17100 on penetrant testing is relevant to:
- Casting, forging and welding industry
- Aerospace industry
- Power generation industry
- Petrochemical and oil and gas industry
- Metal, plastic, and ceramics industry
- Accredited laboratories
Why should you use PD CEN/TS 17100-Penetrant testing for photographs and sizing?
The penetrant method of non-destructive testing is used to discover surface faults that are not visible to the human eye. It is based on the utilization of liquid capillary characteristics.
PD CEN/TS 17100 specifies the requirements for obtaining and reproducing photographs used as reference records for penetrant testing colour contrast. When measurements are to be performed indirectly by recording, fluorescent indications and PD CEN/TS 17100 provide requirements for resolution monitoring.
Compliance with best industry requirements for penetrant testing colour contrast and fluorescent indications provided in PD CEN/TS 17100 can help you with efficient recording of photographs sizing of indications for better identification of defects.
