BS EN 571-1:1997 defines a method of penetrant testing
used to detect discontinuities, e.g. cracks, laps, folds,
porosity and lack of fusion, which are open to the
surface of the material to be tested. It is mainly applied
to metallic materials, but can also be performed on
other materials, provided that they are inert to the test
media and they are not excessively porous, examples
of which are castings, forgings, welds, ceramics, etc.
BS EN 571-1:1997 is not intended to be used for
acceptance criteria and gives no information relating to
the suitability of individual test systems for specific
applications nor requirements for test equipment.
The term 'discontinuity' is used here in the sense that
no evaluation concerning acceptability or
non-acceptability is included.
Methods for determining and monitoring the essential
properties of penetrant testing products to be used are
specified in EN 571-2 and EN 571-3.
