5. Liquid penetrant testing (PT)

• Detects surface-breaking defects on non-porous materials (metals, ceramics, some plastics).
• Process: surface cleaning, application of penetrant, dwell time, removal of excess, developer application, inspection, and solvent cleaning.
• Sensitivity: high for fine surface flaws.
• Limitations: only surface-breaking flaws; requires clean, non-porous surfaces; not suitable for porous materials or rough surfaces without preparation.
