1:00 - 5:30 pmThis is an excellent opportunity to hear about

lessons learned from recent fluorescent penetrantinspection research efforts and the best practicesimplications of this work.Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI) is a widelyused technique for the detection of surface

breaking cracks. The aerospace industry relieson this method for inspection of manycomponents, particularly when a full surface

inspection is required. The Federal AviationAdministration funded a multi-year research effortwhich partnered Iowa State University's Center forNondestructive Evaluation with aviation industrypartners including Boeing Commercial AirplaneCompany, BoeingThantom Works, Delta Airlines,United Airlines, General Electric Aviation, Pratt &

Whitney, Rolls Royce, Honeywell, D & W

Enterprises, Maqnaflux,Met-L- Chek, ana Sherwin, Inc. Results of theresearch and the implications for productioninspection will be presented in this four hourtutorial session.

During the tutorial session, the following topics willbe covered:

•Cleaning methods in preparation for FPI• Drying methods in preparation for FPI• Penetrant Application Penetrant Removal•Part Drying• Developer Application•Inspection
