What is Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT)?
Liquid penetrant testing (PT) is a non-destructive testing method used for detecting surface-breaking discontinuities. It is widely applied on welds, castings and machined components. Firms providing ISO 17020-accredited PT services must correctly manage per-piece, per-metre and per-m² pricing models, crew service charges, and PQR/WQT test records.
