- Which of the following statements is true?
a sandblasting is a generally accepted method for cleaning a surface that is to be
penetrant tested

a oil
- Insufficient washing of fluorescent penetrants during the removal stage will
result in …
a subsequent corrosion of the surface
b difficulty in the application of developer
c excessive bleed out
d excessive background fluorescence
d excessive background fluorescence
- Cleaning of the part prior to penetrant inspection is …
a not required
b important because if the part is not clean, the developer cannot be properly applied
c essential because surface contaminants may prevent penetrant from gaining access to discontinuities
d required to eliminate possibility of showing no relevant indications
c essential because surface contaminants may prevent penetrant from gaining access to discontinuities
- Which one of the following conditions will affect the rate and extent a liquid penetrant will enter cracks, fissures and other small openings?

b the surface condition of the specimen being tested
- The term used to define the period of time in which the test part is covered with penetrant is
a waiting time
b soak time (drain time)
c penetration time (dwell time)
d bleed-in-time
c penetration time (dwell time)
- Which of the following is NOT a basic inspection principle that applies to all penetrant methods?
a the penetrant must enter the discontinuity in order to form an indication
b All indications glow when illuminated with a black light
c a longer penetration is required for smaller discontinuities
d if the penetrant is washed out of the discontinuity, an indication will not be formed by that discontinuity
b All indications glow when illuminated with a black light
- When using a post emulsification (hydrophilic) penetrant, it is necessary to apply the emulsifier …
a before applying the penetrant
b after the water rinse operation
c after the dwell time has elapsed
d after the development time has elapsed
c after the dwell time has elapsed
- When conducting a fluorescent penetrant test, a commonly used technique for assuring that the excess penetrant has been removed prior to the application of a developer is to …
a blow compressed air over the surface
b chemically etch the surface
c blot the surface with absorbent paper
d view the surface under a black light
d view the surface under a black light
- Excess penetrant (all penetrant except that which is in discontinuities) is removed from the specimen …
a after the required penetrant dwell time has elapsed
b before the application of an emulsifier if post emulsifier penetrant is used
c by means of a steam cleaner
d only when water-washable penetrants are used
a after the required penetrant dwell time has elapsed
- The penetrant applied to the surface of a test specimen …
a seeps into discontinuities
b is absorbed by discontinuities
c is drawn into discontinuities by capillary action
d is drawn into discontinuities by gravity
c is drawn into discontinuities by capillary action
- When using a post-emulsifiable penetrant, the emulsifier time should be …
a as long as the penetrant dwell time
b one-half the penetrant dwell time
c the same as the developer
d only as long as necessary to effect removal of interfering background, but not
to reduce the sensitivity of the inspection
d only as long as necessary to effect removal of interfering background, but not
to reduce the sensitivity of the inspection
- Which of the following are commonly accepted methods for applying penetrant?

c spraying the penetrant on the part
d dipping the part in the penetrant
a rubbing the penetrant over the surface
- Which of the following penetrant systems is generally considered least sensitive?
