Test panels for penetrant inspections

Test panels are used for penetrant-effectiveness testing and result validation, if appropriate. The our test panels made under full use of "Know-How" cultivated in abundant experiences are widely used over the world.

Liquid Penetrant Performance Checks
Test pieces are essential for assessing the performance of liquid penetrant processes and determining that a suitable level of sensitivity is being achieved. We supply a range of commonly used test pieces that can be used to measure and or compare different consumables. Differing types and brands of penetrant will produce different result but the same product can sometimes work differently if contaminated with water or greases etc. This makes such tests essential to reliable and NDT.

 

1.Type 1 reference test block (JIS Z 2343-3/ISO 3452-3) 

Type 1 Test Panel  ISO 3452-3 JIS Z 2343-3

Reference Block Type 1
The NiCr Test Panels are made from brass platedwith 20 micron nickel-chrome alloy and stressed to induce linear cracks in the plating. The cracked test piece is cut into two twinned panels so that in-use materials can be run in comparison to new and unused materials on identical flaws.
Type 1 reference blocks are used to determine the sensitivity levels of both fluorescent and colour contrast penetrant product .They are made by cutting a single block in half perpendicular to the direction of the artifical defects.Avialable in versions with 10μm, 20μm, 30μm and 50μm crack depths.It is coforming with JIS Z 2343-3:2017• ISO 3452-3:2013.

A set of two panels, each measuring 3.875 x 1.875 inches (100 x 35mm), sheared from the same stock with matching crack patterns. Makes simultaneous comparison of two penetrant batches practical.

Guaranteed to be equivalent to both Sherwin and Magnaflux supplied panels.
This test panle is also known as the "TESCO PANEL", "TESCO-EISHIN PANEL".

3.Type 3 reference test block (JIS Z 2343-3/ISO 3452-3)
The Aluminium Comparator Block is divided into two segments and can be used to
compare different penetrants to one and other or fresh penetrant to penetrant in use. The cracked
Aluminium block is made from 2024 Aluminium with a groove separating the two sides to facilitate side-by-side penetrant comparison.

STB-N1,STB-A1,STB-G
Adjusting the time axis and measuring range required to measure the position of the reflective source: Using a test specimen, adjust the time axis of the ultrasonic testing device to accurately measure the position of the reflective source. The measurement range is also adjusted appropriately to optimize the range of the flaw.

Adjustments required to measure the echo height from the reflective source and to adjust the test sensitivity: Using the test specimen, adjust the settings of the ultrasonic testing equipment to accurately measure the echo height from the reflective source. Also, adjust the flaw sensitivity to more reliably detect minute defects and anomalies.

Inspect the characteristics and performance of the ultrasonic testing equipment and measure performance characteristics to inspect the equipment: Using a test specimen, inspect the characteristics and performance of the ultrasonic testing equipment to verify that it is functioning properly. Evaluate equipment performance by measuring performance characteristics and make adjustments or repairs as needed.UT Test Block


 

 

Test panels for Magnetic particle Testing

JIS Z 2320-1

 

The standard test specimen is a tool to evaluate the performance of magnetic particle inspection and to improve the accuracy of the inspection results. Magnetic powder flaw detection is a technique to detect the presence of minute defects or cracks on the surface of metal parts or structures.

By using a test piece, the sensitivity and accuracy of magnetic particle inspection can be objectively evaluated. It is also possible to examine factors that affect the performance of magnetic powder testing. For example, the performance of the equipment, magnetic powder, and inspection fluid used, the strength and direction of the magnetic field, and the suitability of the test operation are evaluated.

Type A standard test specimens are used to reliably indicate the orientation of a particular defect. If the defect is in a particular direction, the pattern of the magnetic powder will be in a particular pattern. The clear indication of this pattern helps to maintain the accuracy of the flaw detection. In the test specimen, the magnetization method, the value of the magnetizing current, the application method of the magnetic powder, and the concentration of the magnetic powder in the test solution are adjusted.

The test specimen is made of a thin sheet of pure iron, with grooves on one side. The test specimens are classified into several types according to the groove depth, plate material, and thickness.


In the model numbers of A1 and A2 type standard test pieces, the left side of the shaded line indicates the depth of the artificial flaw, and the right side of the shaded line indicates the thickness of the plate. (Unit: µm)
Example) A1 7/50 : A1 (specimen) (flaw depth) 7 µm / (specimen thickness) 50 µm
