Post Emulsifiable
When there is concern about removing much of the penetrant from the
defect, a post emulsifiable system is used.

Nonaqueous developer is
applied by a aerosol spray
to a thoroughly dried and
cooled part.
A thin even coating should
be applied. The coating
should be white but still
slightly transparent when
performing a visible dye
penetrant inspection, and
even thinner when
performing a fluorescent
penetrant inspection.

Step 5 Inspection/Evaluation
A very important
step of evaluation is
to document findings
on an inspection
report form or other
record keeping form.
This may be
supported with
drawings or photos
of indications, etc.

With color contrast materials, very good lighting should be used (500
lux minimum) on the specimen surface.
The specimen is manipulated by a robotic handler, is 'seen' by a closedcircuit television (CCTV) camera, and the output signal is digitized.
