Designation:E1417/E1417M13Standard Practice forLiquid Penetrant Testing1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1417/E1417M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope*1.1 This practice establishes the minimum requirements forconducting liquid penetrant examination of nonporous metal,and nonmetal components.NOTE1This practice replaces MIL-STD-6866.1.2 The penetrant examination processes described in thispractice are applicable to in-process,final,and maintenance(in-service)examinations.These processes are applicable forthe detection of discontinuities,such as lack of fusion,corrosion,cracks,laps,cold shuts,and porosity,that are openor connected to the surface of the component under examina-tion.1.3 Caution must be exercised in the usage of elevatedtemperature with components manufactured from thermoplas-tic materials.Also,some cleaners,penetrants,and developerscan have a deleterious effect on nonmetallic materials such asplastics.Prior to examination,tests should be conducted toensure that none of the cleaning or examination materials areharmful to the components to be examined.1.4 UnitsThe values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard.Thevalues stated in each system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,each system shall be used independently of the other.Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.1.5 All areas of this practice may be open to agreementbetween the cognizant engineering organization and thesupplier,or specific direction from the cognizant engineeringorganization.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 The following documents form a part of this practice tothe extent specified herein:2.2 ASTM Standards:2D95 Test Method for Water in Petroleum Products andBituminous Materials by DistillationD2512 Test Method for Compatibility of Materials withLiquid Oxygen(Impact Sensitivity Threshold and Pass-Fail Techniques)D6304 Test Method for Determination of Water in Petro-leum Products,Lubricating Oils,and Additives by Cou-lometric Karl Fischer TitrationE165 Practice for Liquid Penetrant Examination for GeneralIndustryE543 Specification for Agencies Performing NondestructiveTestingE1135 Test Method for Comparing the Brightness of Fluo-rescent PenetrantsE1316 Terminology for Nondestructive ExaminationsE2297 Guide for Use of UV-Aand Visible Light Sources andMeters used in the Liquid Penetrant and Magnetic ParticleMethods2.3 ASNT Standards:3ANSI/ASNT-CP-189 Standard for Qualification and Certifi-cation of Nondestructive Testing PersonnelSNT-TC-1A Recommended Practice for Personnel Qualifi-cation and Certification in Nondestructive Testing2.4 Military Standards:4,5MIL-STD-792 Identification Marking Requirements forSpecial Purpose Components1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E07 on Nonde-structive Testing and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E07.03 on LiquidPenetrant and Magnetic Particle Methods.Current edition approved June 1,2013.Published June 2013.Originallyapproved in 1991.Last previous edition approved in 2011 as E1417/E1417M 111.DOI:10.1520/E1417_E1417M-13.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Available fromAmerican Society for Nondestructive Testing(ASNT),P.O.Box28518,1711 Arlingate Ln.,Columbus,OH 43228-0518,http:/www.asnt.org.4Copies of specifications,standards,drawings,and publications required bymanufacturers in connection with specific acquisition functions should be obtainedfrom the contracting activity or as directed by the contracting officer.5Available from Standardization Documents Order Desk,DODSSP,Bldg.4,SectionD,700RobbinsAve.,Philadelphia,PA19111-5098,http:/dodssp.daps.dla.mil.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 QPL-AMS-2644 QualifiedProductsList,InspectionMaterial,PenetrantMIL-STD-45662 Calibration System Requirements2.5 ANSI/ISO/AIA Standards:6ANSI/NCSL Z540-1 General Requirement for CalibrationLaboratories and Measuring Test EquipmentISO 10012 MeasurementManagementSystemsRequirements for Measuring Measurement Proces
