Foreword
The text of EN ISO 3452-2:1999 has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 138 "Non-destructive testing",
the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR, in collaboration with Technical Committee ISO/TC 135 "Non-destructive
testing".
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or
by endorsement, at the latest by October 2000, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by
October 2000.
This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association. This European Standard is considered to be a supporting standard to those
application and product standards which in themselves support an essential safety requirement of a New Approach
Directive and which make reference to this European Standard.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries
are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France,
Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland
and the United Kingdom.
EN ISO 3452 comprises a series of European standards of penetrant testing which is made of the following:
- EN 571-1 Non-destructive testing - Penetrant testing - Part 1: General principles
- EN ISO 3452-2 Non-destructive testing - Penetrant testing - Part 2: Testing of penetrant materials
- EN ISO 3452-3 Non-destructive testing - Penetrant testing - Part 3: Reference test blocks
- EN ISO 3452-4 Non-destructive testing - Penetrant testing - Part 4: Equipment
Introduction
At the present time, one part of this standard is published independently on the European and ISO levels, the others
are under Vienna agreement and consequently have the ISO number at the European level. However, the Vienna
agreement was applied during the work, so some European Standards have referenced them under their previous
European number. The following table gives the correspondance between these different numbers.

Page 8
EN ISO 3452-2:2000
7.2 Penetrant system sensitivity

See also Annex C.
7.2.1 Fluorescent penetrants
7.2.1.1 Test panels
Test panels of 10 µm, 20 µm and 30 µm from type 1 reference block in accordance with EN ISO 3452-3 are used.
These test panels shall be reserved for the use with type I penetrants only.
7.2.1.2 Apparatus
The measurement of the visibility of indications is made electronically.
A visibility measuring equipment consists for example of the following elements (see Annex D):
– microscope assembly,
– test panel holder and moving table,
– recording system,
– suitable source of illumination,
– instrument calibration test piece.
7.2.1.3 Calibration
The visibility measuring equipment shall be calibrated using a calibration test piece consisting of a polished metal
plate, approximately 33 mm x 95 mm which has transverse grooves across its width.
The groove length should be longer than 20 mm, the groove width should be 0,15 mm ± 0,015 mm and the depth
should be greater than 1 mm. These grooves are to be filled with a suitable powder.1)
The test piece shall be used to calibrate visibility measurement equipment, the height of the peak on the chart
recorder caused by the powder in the groove being taken as 100 % when used according to 7.2.1.4.
7.2.1.4 Method
For each test panel the number of discontinuities shall be counted using a microscope with a 20 times magnification.
As photomulipliers are sensitive to temperature, light and magnetic field changes, they should therefore be protected
as required. Allow the equipment to stabilise prior to use.
The equipment shall be set up using a standard fluorescence sample (see D.4) to give approximately a 50 % full
scale deflection. The zero shall be adjusted to read zero with an unprocessed test panel from type 1 reference block.
The test panel of 30 µm depth from type 1 reference block shall be processed in accordance with the penetrant
manufacturer's recommendations using a form d developer and a 10 minute development time. The brightness of the
indications is quantified using the discontinuity intensity measuring equipment.
If it is necessary to change sensitivity ranges on a chart recorder between setting up with the standard sample and
running the test panel, zero and full scale deflection settings shall remain unaltered. In such cases standard peak
height and sample peak heights shall be compared taking the different chart recorder sensitivities into consideration.
7.2.1.5 Interpretation of results
The visibility measuring equipment having been set up according to 7.2.1.3, ("A" on figure 1), the base is taken as 0
% ("B" on figure 1). Individual peak heights are recorded except those affected by handling, etc. Grouped peaks ("C"
on figure 1) are recorded as their mean value.
The mean peak height (x– ) and standard deviation of the peak height (σn-1) are determined and the sensitivity level is
then obtained by reference to figure 2.

Process control tests

B.1 General
These process control tests are to be used when testing is carried out in accordance with EN 571-1.
In order to maintain the integrity of a penetrant process, the process as a whole and the individual components of
the system shall be regularly checked to ensure that they meet the required standards. This requirement is only
applicable to process lines since products supplied in aerosols or thixotropic penetrants will only be used for a
single inspection. In addition some materials used in process lines can be applied to the work piece either by
conventional or electrostatic spraying. Since once again the material will only be used for one inspection these
tests are not applicable.
NOTE Where some elements of the process are sprayed it does not eliminate the need for control checks on
other parts of the process.
B.2 Control tests

The following table details the control tests to be carried out and their frequency. It is the responsibility of a level 3
person according to EN 473 to decide which tests are applicable to a particular process line. The tests may be
carried out at more frequent intervals or additional tests carried out if necessary to ensure correct processing
conditions.

B.3 Control test forms

The results of each control test shall be recorded on a control test form. A separate form shall be used for each
penetrant plant. Any deviations found shall be reported to the responsible person and appropriate corrective action
must be taken.
The following information shall be included:
– company and site,
– process line identity,
– date,
– shift,
– name and qualification,
– signature.
B.4 Control test

B.4.1 Materials levels
The level of material in all process systems shall be visually examined to ensure that there is sufficient material to
allow complete coverage of the components to be processed. If insufficient material is in the system, extra material
shall be added and mixed before any other tests are carried out.
B.4.2 System performance
This test is carried out using the reference test block type 2 described in EN ISO 3452-3. It is often advantageous
to also use a component with known discontinuities typical of those normally expected.
A record in the form of a permanent replica, photograph or other suitable means showing the discontinuities
including the level of background, shall be prepared and processed using the same parameters normally in use and
retained for reference. This record shall be used as a comparison for the practical results obtained using the same
test for the daily system performance check. Indications from pealable developers are not the same as obtained
using standard developers. The indications on the chrome plated side of the reference test block type 2 or on the
component with known discontinuities shall show the same number of indications and pattern with those of the
record prepared using the same materials and process sequence. Similarly the level of background shall appear the
same as that shown on the record.
B.4.2.1 Reference test parts cleaning
To ensure that reference test parts are sensitive enough to a change in penetrant process parameters, it is
necessary to draw out all of the penetrant which remains entrapped in the discontinuities after testing. It is of the
utmost importance not to physically modify the discontinuities.
The best way is to counteract adsorption effect on the entrapped penetrant due to the discontinuity walls by a
stronger capillary effect. A solvent-based (non-aqueous wet) developer is the right means.
The following procedure shall be used:
a) immediately after processing, remove developer with a water rinse;
b) dry, i. e. not by wiping;
c) apply a thick coat of form d developer. The coating shall arrive wet on the surface;
d) leave for 10 to 15 minutes;
e) repeat stages a) to d), let developer remain for 30 minutes;
f) check for penetrant traces under adequate illumination. If present, repeat stages a) to d) until all traces of
penetrant have been removed;
g) finally wash with water and dry.
h) do not keep parts in solvent. Parts may be stored in a protective envelop to prevent scratching, twisting, any
mechanical or thermal shock.
B.4.3 Penetrant appearance
Check for any abnormal aspects of the penetrant (e.g. milky appearance, visible contamination, deposits of water
at the bottom or top of the penetrant).
Page 22
EN ISO 3452-2:2000
B.4.4 Rinse water appearance

When using re-cycled water, check for opacity, fluorescence, foam and colouration of the rinse water. Any of these
suggests that the treatment system is not functioning effectively.
B.4.5 Rinse water temperature
Check that the rinse water temperature is within the specified limits.
B.4.6 Oven temperature
Check that the oven temperature is within the specified limits in the area of the work pieces.
B.4.7 Working area
Ensure that the working area is clean and tidy. When inspecting components processed with a fluorescent penetrant
system there shall be no reflective surface, e. g. white paper on the inspection bench or in the immediate vicinity of
the inspection area. In addition there shall be no stray white light sources near to the inspection area.
B.4.8 Compressed air filter(s)
Ensure that the trap(s) are free of contaminants.
B.4.9 Integrity of UV-A filters
Ensure that lamps with UV-A filters are in good condition.
B.4.10 UV-A irradiance
Measure UV-A irradiance as described in prEN ISO 3059.
B.4.11 Visible light intensity in inspection booth (fluorescent system)
Measure the maximum visible light intensity in the booth as described in prEN ISO 3059.
B.4.12 Visible light intensity (colour contrast systems)
Measure the minimum visible light intensity at working area as described in prEN ISO 3059.
B.4.13 Fluorescent intensity
B.4.13.1 Use standard reference samples of level 1 and 2 penetrants at 1 %, 0,9 %, 0,8 % in high flash kerosene.
For level 3 penetrants use standard reference samples at 0,1 %, 0,09 %, 0,08 %. The reference samples shall be
stored in light-proof sealed containers.
To prepare the reference samples it is suggested that dilutions of 10 %, 9 %, 8 %, are first prepared and then further
diluted at 1 to 10 or 1 to 100 respectively.
B.4.13.2 For level 1 and 2 penetrants prepare a 1 % solution of the penetrant under test in the same solvent as
used in B.4.13.1. For level 3 penetrants, prepare a 0,1 % solution of the penetrant under test in the same solvent
as used in B.4.13.1.
B.4.13.3 Using test tubes, visually compare the fluorescent intensity of the penetrant under test against the
reference samples of the same penetrant. UV-A illumination shall be evenly distributed with an irradiance of at least
10 W/m² (1000 µW/cm2).
Record the level to which the fluorescent intensities are similar.
As an alternative, the method described in 7.7 may be used.
Requirements: The fluorescent intensity shall be greater than 90% of the reference.
B.4.14 Colour contrast intensity
B.4.14.1 Use standard reference samples of the colour contrast penetrant at 1 %, 0,9 %, 0,8 % and 0,7 % in high
flash kerosene or any other suitable non-volatile solvent.
To prepare the reference samples it is suggested that dilutions of 10 %, 9 %, 8 % and 7 % are first prepared and
then further diluted at 1 to 10.
These reference samples shall be stored in light-proof sealed containers.
Page 23
EN ISO 3452-2:2000
B.4.14.2 Prepare a 1 % solution of the penetrant under test in the same solvent as used in B.4.14.1.
B.4.14.3 Using test tubes, under evenly distributed visible light, compare the colour intensity of the penetrant under
test against the reference samples.
Record the level to which the colour intensities are similar.
Requirement: Colour intensity shall be greater than 80 % of reference.
B.4.15 Suppliers' overcheck
A representative sample of the in-use penetrant shall be taken at least once a year and sent to the supplier's or
other suitable laboratory for re-certification. Otherwise, the penetrant shall be discarded and replaced.
The overchecking laboratory shall issue a report stating that the physical-chemical parameters of the penetrant under
test are all within acceptable limits when compared with the nominal values for a new penetrant. It is recommended
that the report shows actual values and not only a statement.
It is the responsibility of the supplier to choose which parameters are to be checked.
B.4.16 Concentration of hydrophilic remover
The test is applicable for freshly prepared solutions and is carried out using a refractometer.
The test refractometer shall be calibrated using accurately prepared solutions of the new hydrophilic emulsifier. At
least five solutions shall be used. One shall be the nominal concentration, two shall be above and two below the
nominal concentration. The values shall be plotted graphically.
To estimate the concentration of the hydrophilic remover, read the value given by a sample of the freshly prepared
product and determine its concentration from the graph.
All parts of the test shall be carried out at ambient temperature.
The results of this test shall be reported.
Requirements: Adjust concentration to required value. Mix well before rechecking.
NOTE This test is primary designed for freshly prepared solutions. It can however be used to adjust the concen-

Annex C
(informative)
Determination of fluorescent penetrant sensitivity levels

A variety of methods for determining sensitivity levels have been used in the past. In most cases, however, they
have been dependent upon unique test specimens and/or measuring equipment. This makes independent
verification of sensitivity levels virtually impossible to perform. Additionally, most traditional methods, based sensitivity
levels directly or indirectly on the quantity of fluorescent material in the penetrant, i. e. the assumption was made in
these cases that fluorescent brightness is an indicator of sensitivity. In reality, whilst fluorescent brightness is one
major factor in penetrant sensitivity, tests have shown that the probability of detection of a discontinuity is also
dependent upon whether a penetrant stays in a discontinuity and, if so, how reproducible it is.
This specification sets out to address these issues by using a method for determining sensitivity that:
a) is reproducibly verifiable by an independent suitably equipped laboratory;
b) takes into account both fluorescent brightness and reproducibility of results to give a higher measure of
probability of detection.
EXAMPLE The two traces reproduced in figure C.1 have both been obtained by the method detailed in section
7.2 of this standard. Both have similar average brightness of indications and, so would be labelled as equivalent
sensitivity by some test methods. However, the variability of trace 2 is much greater than that of trace 1. This means
that the penetrant used to give trace 2 could be less likely to detect a specific discontinuity due to the wide variance
in discontinuity brightness. For this reason, by this method, penetrant 2 would be designated a lower sensitivity than
penetrant 1.
The method detailed in 7.2 uses standard deviation as a measure of reproducibility, and hence differentiates
between the products in terms of sensitivity.

Example of indication visibility measuring equipment
D.1 General configuration
The microscope assembly is fixed in a vertical position above the test panel holder and moving table such that the
test panel holder containing a test panel from reference block type 1 or instrument calibration standard can be
moved at reproducible and constant speed under the microscope assembly and at right angles to the slot direction.
The chart recorder is connected directly to the photo-multiplier tube. The source of UV-A radiation is positioned in
close proximity to the test panels.

Figure D.1 - Indication visibility measuring equipment (example)

Page 27
EN ISO 3452-2:2000
D.2 Microscope assembly
The microscope assembly consists of a simple microsope tube with a photographic lens at one end and a
photomultiplier tube at the other end. Between the lens and the photomultiplier are a blanking plate and an optical
filter. The blanking plate has an aperture to ensure that the photomultiplier receives the emitted light from only one
discontinuity on the test panel, at the same time. The optical filter transmits visible light of 550 nm ± 25 nm.
D.3 Test panel holder and moving table
The test panel holder consists of a flat table capable of clamping an individual test panel in a reproducible and
identical position. The test panel holder is mounted on to a motor-driven moving table which drives the holder
backwards and forwards at approximate 25 mm/min.
D.4 Recording system
The recording system consists of a chart recorder or equivalent computer data collection system the input of which
is supplied by the output from the photomultiplier tube.
The photomultiplier tube and chart recorder specifications is such that when illuminated in accordance with D.5 the
standard calibration test piece produces a peak on the recorder with a height of 50 % ± 5 % of a full scale
deflection.
D.5 Illumination
The test panel or calibration test piece is illuminated over the area being viewed by the optical system with an UV-A
level of 10 W/m2 to 20 W/m2 (1000 µW/cm2 to 2000 µW/cm2) and a visible light level below 10 lux. Illumination levels
on the test panel should not be altered during the test.
