Opportunities for the Reduction of Substances and Equipment Impact on Personnel in Penetrant and Magnetic Particles Testing

Yuriy Yaremenko

Abstract

Penetrant testing (PT) and magnetic particles inspection (MPI) are widespread methods of non-destructive testing which are not required a lot of investments for manual application and are simple in terms of discontinuous interpretation. On the other hand, work with chemicals requires special precautions, safety instructions and disposal limitations. Growing demand among customers to decrease impact of consumables and equipment on personnel and environment, shift producers’ priorities to develop new, safer solutions. This work offers to consider some results of MR Chemie company in development of free of dangerous components consumables for PT and MPI and to look closer at aspects of ultraviolet irradiation, as part of fluorescent PT and MPI methods, which affect
on personnel safety.
