This Part is Part 5 of NB/T 47013. Penetrant Testing.
This Part was drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009, Directives
for Standardization – Part 1. Structure and Drafting of Standards.
This Part replaces JB/T 4730.5-2005, Nondestructive Testing of Pressure Equipment
– Part 5. Penetrant Testing. Compared with JB/T 4730.5-2005, the major changes of
this Part are as follows.
Nondestructive Testing of Pressure Equipment –
Part 5. Penetrant Testing
1 Application Scope
This Part of NB/T 47013 specifies the liquid penetrant testing method and quality
grading of pressure Equipment.
This Part applies to the testing of surface-breaking defects which are caused in the
manufacture, installation and use of pressure Equipment made of non-porous metallic
materials.

Requirements
3 Terms and Definitions
For the purposes of this Part, the following terms and definitions and those defined in
GB/T 14604.3 and NB/T 47013.1 apply.
3.1
relevant indication
Trace indication formed by penetrant exuded through defects, generally also called
defect indication.
c) calibrate the concentration of bulk penetrant in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions. The calibration method is to inject 10 mL of
penetrant to be calibrated and standard penetrant respectively into the
measuring cylinders containing 90 mL of colorless kerosene or other inert
solvents and mix them up. And then pour the two reagents into chromometer
Nessler test tubes to compare colour concentration. If the difference in colour
concentration between penetrant to be calibrated and standard penetrant
exceeds 20%, then it is unacceptable;
d) carry out visual examination for penetrant in use. In case of any obvious turbidity
or precipitation, colour change or difficulty to clean, it shall be discarded;
e) carry out performance comparison test between all kinds of penetrant blocks and
standard penetrant. When the capacity of indicating penetrant to be tested is
lower than that of standard penetrant, it shall be discarded;
f) the fluorescent brightness of fluorescent penetrant shall not be lower than 75% of
the fluorescent brightness of standard penetrant. The test method shall be as
specified in JB/T 7523.
4.2.1.2 The quality control of developer shall meet the following requirements.
a) dry developer shall be examined frequently. In case of powder aggregation,
significant residual fluorescence or low performance, it shall be discarded;
b) the concentration of wet developer shall be maintained with the working
concentration range specified by the manufacturer. Its proportion shall be
calibrated frequently;
c) in case of turbidity, colour change or difficulty to form a thin and even development
layer for wet developer in use, it shall be discarded.
4.2.1.3 Penetrant testing agents shall be marked with date of manufacture and shelf
life, and accompanied with product certificates and operation instructions.
4.2.1.4 For aerosol can penetrant testing agents, the surface of its aerosol can shall
be free from rust. The nozzle shall have no leakage.
4.2.1.5 Penetrant testing agents shall have good detection performance; they shall
not cause corrosion of work pieces and shall be basically non-toxic to human body.
4.2.1.6 For nickel base alloy materials, the mass ratio of total content of sulphur shall
be less than 200 × 10-6; the mass ratio of sulphur element content in the residual after
a certain amount of penetrant is evaporated shall not exceed 1%. In case of any higher
requirement, it shall be as agreed on by the supplier and the purchaser.
4.2.1.7 For austenitic steel, titanium and titanium alloy, the mass ratio of the total
content of halogens (chlorides and fluorides) shall be less than 200 × 10-6; the mass
ratio of the content of chlorine and fluorine elements in the residual after a certain
l – thickness of test block, 3 mm ~ 4 mm.

4.2.6.3 Aluminium alloy test blocks are mainly used in the following two scenarios.
a) under the regular service conditions, test whether penetrants can meet the
requirements and compare the advantages and disadvantages of two penetrants;
b) evaluate penetrant test method at non-standard temperature.
4.2.6.4 Chromium-plated test blocks are mainly used to test the systematic sensitivity
