Liquid Penetrant Inspection Services for Surface Flaw Detection
Detect surface-breaking defects with precision using liquid penetrant inspection (LPI). Our certified liquid penetrant testing services support fast, accurate, and cost-effective detection of cracks, porosity, laps, seams, and other discontinuities in non-porous materials.
What Is Liquid Penetrant Testing?
Liquid penetrant testing (PT) is a widely used non-destructive testing (NDT) method that identifies surface-level discontinuities without damaging the material. Also known as a dye penetrant test or penetrant inspection, this method is ideal for detecting flaws in metals, ceramics, plastics, and other non-porous substrates.
