Fluorescent dye penetrant inspections are a form of non-destructive testing. By applying a fluorescent dye penetrant, along with the use of specialty black light equipment, we can detect flaws that, if gone undetected, could lead to catastrophic loss.

We perform fluorescent dye penetrant testing to ensure component integrity on items such as rotating and/or stationary airfoils, cases and valve components, gears, bolts and studs, and rotating components for life extension evaluations.

We begin by clearing the surface of any dirt and debris. Then, one of our expert technicians will apply the fluorescent dye penetrant to the appropriate area. Once we remove the excess product, the material will highlight problematic spots.

Professionals at Advanced Turbine Support can observe any flaws under special lighting conditions. We use advanced UV light and blackout technology to create conditions that make performing fluorescent dye penetrant testing possible. Your machines are in good hands when you choose our non-destructive testing services.

With fluorescent dye penetrant inspections, we can help you identify any defects, cracks, or porous areas open to the surface with ease. These deficiencies could be affecting normal operations. Because the dye brightly highlights damaged areas, we can quickly identify repair opportunities without the need to completely disassemble turbine parts. This lowers the risk of collateral damage.

Using a fluorescent dye penetrant is a very effective way to view service-induced or parent material flaws open to the surface of your machinery. Let the experts at Advanced Turbine Support assist you with our NDE methods by contacting us today.
