1. The most likely result of a too short dwell time of an emulsifier is:
(a) A tendency to remove the penetrant from fine discontinuities

(b) Incomplete removal of excess surface penetrant

(c) An overactive emulsifier

(d) All of the above

2. Diffusion of a lipophilic emulsifier penetrant into the test piece surface is stopped by:

W
(a) The conclusion of the emulsifier dwell time

25
(b) The penetrant

(c) Application of developer

(d) The water rinse step

35
3. When using a post emulsifiable penetrant process, it is important to drain as much excess penetrant as
possible from the surface of a test piece which has been immersed in the penetrant because:
(a) Too much penetrant on the part surface may lead to more rapid penetration and over-sensitivity
83
(b) A thinner layer of penetrant is likely to have higher capillary action and, thus, be more sensitive to fine
discontinuities

(c) A thinner layer of penetrant will result in less penetrant contamination in the emulsifier tank

(d) None of the above

10

4. When a drain-dwell technique is used during emulsification, what two mechanisms are responsible for
combining the emulsifier and penetrant?
(a) Diffusion and turbulent mixing
80

(b) Osmosis and agitation

(c) Turbulent mixing and osmosis

(d) Agitation and turbulent mixing

5. When performing a post emulsifiable penetrant test, the test piece does not rinse acceptable clean
during normal processing. What should be done?
(a) Return the test piece to the emulsifier and repeat the step

(b) Increase water temperature and pressure

(c) Remove the excess penetrant with solvent remover and process the remainder of the test normally

(d) Clean the test piece and re-process through the complete penetrant test process
6. The adequacy of excess penetrant removal, using water washable penetrant process, is judged and
controlled by:
(a) Water rinse time

(b) Fluorescent brightness measurement

(c) Visual observation

(d) Cleanliness of cloths used for removal

W
7. Another name for a self-emulsifying penetrant process is:

25
(a) Solvent removable

(b) Water washable

(c) Post emulsifiable

(d) Solvent emulsifiable

(a) 35
8. Which of the following is a function of an emulsifier?
To draw penetrant out of a discontinuity and form a visible indication
83
(b) To increase the size of an indication through capillary action

(c) To provide contrasting background for viewing penetrant indications

(d) None of the above

10
9. When viewed under black light, developer appears:
(a) Yellow-green

(b) Blue-black

(c) White
80

(d) Pinkish white

10. Penetrant developers are used in which of the following forms?

(a) Water washable

(b) Water suspendable

(c) Solvent suspendable

(d) All of the above

11. Which of the following developers requires the test piece to be dried prior to its application?
(a) Water washable

(b) Water suspendable

(c) Non-aqueous suspendable

(d) All of the above

12. An effect of a thick developer coating might be:

W
(a) To obscure discontinuity indications

25
(b) To enhance discontinuity indications

(c) To increase penetrant test sensitivity by providing more capillary paths

(d) None of the above

the development time?

(a) 35
13. Why is it important to view the test piece shortly after developer application and periodically through

To make sure the developer dries evenly

83
(b) To guard against pooling of developer in low areas

(c) To avoid missing small flaw indications adjacent to areas of high bleed-out

(d) To avoid missing transient indications against an otherwise clean background

10
14. Which of the following is an advantage of a dry developer?
(a) Ease of handling

(b) Non-corrosive

(c) No hazardous vapours

80

(d) All of the above

15. Why is the need for a dry surface prior to developer application more of a disadvantage with a dry
developer than with a non-aqueous wet developer?
(a) Because the dry developer only forms a thin film on the surface of the test piece

(b) Because the solvent in a non-aqueous wet developer penetrates deeper into discontinuities to contact
entrapped penetrant and draw it back out

(c) Because the warm test piece causes evaporation of the solvent in the non- aqueous developer

(d) All of the above

16. The preferred method of application of aqueous wet developer is:
(a) Dipping

(b) Spraying

(c) Brushing

(d) All of the above

17. It is easier to control developer coating thickness with a soluble developer than a water suspendable

W
one because:

25
(a) Less developer can be dissolved that suspended in water

(b) It dries more rapidly on the test piece

(c) Evaporation deposits a thin, even coating on the test piece

(d) All of the above

(a) It may be applied to a dry surface35

18. Which of the following is not an advantage of an aqueous wet developer?
83
(b) It has no hazardous vapours

(c) There is visible evidence of developer coverage

(d) During drying, only water evaporates, not costly solvents

10
19. A disadvantage of water soluble developers is:
(a) Agitation of the developer is not required

(b) A uniform developer film is obtained

(c) The dried developer is difficult to remove during post cleaning

80

(d) None of the above

20. Fluorescent penetrant indications are more visible than colour contrast penetrant indications because:
(a) They reflect more light

(b) They emit rather than reflect light

(c) They contain a higher concentration of dye particles

(d) Yellow and green contrast more than red and white
