D-line Port Harcourt
Duration
6 days (Full-time)

Penetrant Testing (PT), also known as Liquid Penetrant Testing (LPT), is a widely used non-destructive testing (NDT) method for detecting surface defects in non-porous materials such as metals, ceramics, and plastics. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of the principles, techniques, and applications of PT, which is commonly used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, oil & gas, and manufacturing.

Participants will learn how to properly apply penetrants, remove excess penetrant, and develop indications to reveal surface flaws such as cracks, porosity, and laps. The course covers various penetrant testing methods, including visible (color contrast) and fluorescent techniques, and emphasizes the selection of appropriate penetrants based on material type and inspection conditions. Practical sessions will reinforce theoretical knowledge, ensuring trainees gain hands-on experience in conducting reliable inspections. Safety precautions and compliance with international NDT standards, such as ASNT, ISO, and ASTM, are also emphasized.
