Question 6 of 15

What is the purpose of dwell time in PT?

A) To evaporate solvents from the dye B) To allow the penetrant to change color C) To let penetrant seep into flaws D) To give developers time to dry

Question 7 of 15

Question 11 of 15

Why is solvent sprayed directly on the surface discouraged during excess removal?

A) It accelerates developer action B) It may leave metal discoloration C) It might remove penetrant from the flaw D) It causes the penetrant to fluoresce prematurely

Question 12 of 15
