Overview
Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT/LPI) is used to detect surface-breaking discontinuities in non-porous materials. A liquid penetrant is applied to the test surface and allowed to dwell, seeping into any surface-breaking defects by capillary action. Excess penetrant is removed, and a developer is applied which draws penetrant from defects back to the surface, creating visible indications.
