Developers

 

 

Developers improve flaw visibility by pulling the penetrant retained in a cavity or crack to the surface. Developers are available in dry powder and aqueous forms, depending on the specific penetrant testing method. With the dry powder method, powders are blown onto the part with a bulb, powder applicator or swirl chamber after the application of penetrant to develop or enhance detection of the surface flaw. The fluorescent powder sticks to the penetrant remaining in a flaw or surface crack after cleaning.  With aqueous-based developer methods, the powders are suspended in a liquid that is applied to the part by spraying or immersion.
