Penetrant Application: A visible or fluorescent dye is applied, seeping into any surface-breaking flaws.​

Excess Penetrant Removal: After adequate dwell time, excess penetrant is carefully removed from the surface.​

Developer Application: A developer is applied to draw out penetrant trapped in defects, making them visible.​

Inspection: Our certified inspectors examine the component under appropriate lighting to identify and evaluate indications.​

Post-Cleaning: After inspection, the component is cleaned to remove any residual materials.
