Penetrant Testing

Training of Penetrant Testing staff is essential to guarantee the reliability of the inspection process. Correct application of the procedure, then interpretation of the indications found, and finally acceptance or rejection of the parts according to the criteria stipulated in the applicable specifications, require agents to acquire specific theoretical and practical knowledge.
