U.S. Miltary Terminology
Penetrants are classified according
to the terminology developed in the military specification MIL-I-25135 by
the U.S. Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Wright Patterson
also conducts qualification tests before approving each penetrant to this
specification. This qualification is mandatory for a penetrant to be
recognized by most users. The terminology used in the military
specification has changed recently leading to some confusion. The older
terminology, which dates back to 1945, was used in revisions of this
specification up to revision "C" (MIL-I-25135C). The newer terminology
began with revision "D" in 1984 and became "E" in 1988. Most Penetrants
which were qualified to the "C" revision had to be reformulated to meet
the requirements of the "D" revision. The "D" revision penetrants leave
less interfering background, have a higher flash point, are less toxic,
are brighter and more retentive in small flaws, are less corrosive and
cost more to make. "D" revision penetrants are not always required for
every application. American Gas & Chemical Co. penetrants are qualified
under the latest Qualified Products List under SAE AMS 2644C. If you are
using another brand of Inspection Penetrant, ask us for our equivalent. |
