Test Pieces

Use this test block to check the strength of in-use penetrants, by processing one half of the block with used penetrant, and the other half with fresh penetrant.

76 x 51 x 9.5 mm with a 3.2 mm wide groove that divides the face of the block in half.

Complies with ASTM E165 and ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel code.

Use our TAM crack comparator to measure the actual size of indications identified during the LPI inspection process.

Measures in increments of 0.010" to 0.180" (0.2 mm to 4.6 mm).

Meets Pratt & Whitney requirements (P&W Reference – TAM 135273).

NiCr Test Panels are ideal comparators to test penetrant sensitivity; use them to compare in-use penetrant against fresh unused product to determine if the penetrant is performing properly.

Dimensions: length 100mm ± 2mm, width 35mm ± 2mm, thickness 2mm ± 0.2mm

The Magnaflux TAM Panel monitors both the sensitivity and washability of our Zyglo liquid penetrants and detects any sudden changes in the processing system.

Meets Pratt & Whitney TAM #146040 specifications.
