本文件规定了一种渗透检测方法，用于检测使用白光或UV-a（365 nm）辐射对待测材料表面开放的不连续性，例如裂纹、搭接、褶皱、气孔和未熔合。它主要适用于金属材料，但也可以在其他材料上进行，前提是这些材料对试验介质是惰性的，并且没有过多的孔隙（铸件、锻件、焊缝、陶瓷等）。本文件还包括工艺和控制试验的要求，但不用于验收标准。 它既没有给出与特定应用的单个测试系统的适用性相关的信息，也没有给出测试设备的要求。购买本文件时可获得的所有当前修订均包含在购买本文件中。

This document specifies a method of penetrant testing used to detect discontinuities, e.g. cracks, laps, folds, porosity and lack of fusion, which are open to the surface of the material to be tested using white light or UV-A (365 nm) radiation. It is mainly applied to metallic materials, but can also be performed on other materials, provided that they are inert to the test media and not excessively porous (castings, forgings, welds, ceramics, etc.)This document also includes requirements for process and control testing, but is not intended to be used for acceptance criteria. It gives neither information relating to the suitability of individual test systems for specific applications nor requirements for test equipment.All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
