Developer assists in the detection of
discontinuities by:
a. providing a contrasting background.
b. emulsifying the penetrant bleedout.
c. providing a clean surface.
d. providing a dry surface.

- Difficulties with removal of a
postemulsifiable penetrant during the rinse
operation can be overcome by:
a. reapplying a coating of emulsifier.
b. using conditioned (soft) water during
the washing operation.
c. cleaning, then completely reprocessing
the part using a longer emulsification
time.
d. increasing the water temperature
c. cleaning, then completely reprocessing
the part using a longer emulsification
time.
- Which of the following is an advantage of
a fluorescent water washable penetrant
system compared to a fluorescent
postemulsifiable penetrant system?
a. Water washable is superior for testing
critical in service parts.
b. Water washable has fewer processing
steps.
c. Only wet developer may be used with
postemulsifiable penetrants.
d. Water washable penetrants will more
readily detect fine, tight cracks in
weldments.
b. Water washable has fewer processing
steps.
- Excessive removal of penetrant may result
in:
a. undetected discontinuities during
evaluation.
b. an excessive background that inhibits
the evaluation process.
c. the need to apply the developer twice
to obtain significant bleedout.
d. small, tight cracks that are easily
detected
a. undetected discontinuities during
evaluation.
- When using the visible, solvent removable
process, after the penetrant dwell time,
excess penetrant is removed by:
a. spraying solvent on the part and then
wiping with a clean, dry rag or paper
towel.
b. wiping off excess penetrant with a
clean, dry rag or paper towel,
moistening the part with solvent and
rewiping the part.
c. wiping off excess penetrant with a
clean, dry rag or paper towel,
moistening a clean cloth with solvent
and rewiping the part.
d. wiping off excess penetrant with a
clean, dry rag or paper towel, then
rewiping with a cloth soaked with
solvent.
c. wiping off excess penetrant with a
clean, dry rag or paper towel,
moistening a clean cloth with solvent
and rewiping the part.

castings after proper emulsification
dwell time.
d. They have higher tolerance to
variations in the removal process when
compared to

castings after proper emulsification
dwell time.
