What is PD CEN/TR 16638 - Penetrant and magnetic particle testing using blue light about?
PD CEN/TR 16638 is a standard that covers penetrant and magnetic particle testing using blue light, enabling the detection of surface and near-surface defects to remove surface irregularities and improve surface uniformity.
PD CEN/TR 16638 specifies the requirements for penetrant and magnetic particle testing, the materials and viewing conditions when using fluorescent detection media excited by actinic blue light.
Note: It is not intended that PD CEN/TR 16638 “sub-method” technique is used as a substitute for the existing colour contrast and fluorescent techniques standardised in the EN ISO 3452 series and EN ISO 9934 series.
