Learn More About Dye Penetrant Testing, and What It’s Used for

You don’t have to think too hard about the many reasons behind the continued and growing popularity of dye penetrant testing in South Africa. For one, it is one of the most frequently used and competitively priced non-destructive testing solutions available. This technique uses capillary action, which is the ability of liquid to flow through narrow spaces, without any help from external forces.

It’s used as a way to detect surface breaking defects, and can inform decisions regarding any product flaws without destroying the product. After the penetrant is applied, the excess is removed. It’s then drawn from the surface breaking defect, where the dye seeped into. By doing so, it becomes clear if there is any leakage in the product, and where exactly that leak emanates from. Dye penetrant testing remains critical in the development and testing of products, to make sure that they are market-ready.

Why Do Companies Swear by Dye Penetrant Testing?

Aside from its competitively priced nature, this form of NDT testing offers many other types of benefits that account for its popularity. For one, it has few material limitations, and can be used on magnetic and non-magnetic, metallic and non-metallic and conductive materials, among many other materials. Producing real-world and visual results, it provides instant test results.

These are only a few of the obvious reasons behind the popularity of this form of non-destructive testing. Make sure you’re working with true industry professionals who can help you harness the full power of these incredible advantages, and help your business to benefit from it.
