About this course

Liquid Penetrant Testing training covers Type I fluorescent and Type II visible penetrant systems, processing controls, dwell times, developers, and the evaluation of indications across aerospace and industrial hardware.

PT is frequently a technician's first method, the equipment is simple but the process discipline matters. The course's process-control depth is built for aerospace work where NAS410 governs.
