IDENTIFICATION OF FLAWS IN PEB USING DPT TEST

abbu riyaz 1 May, 2023

The IDENTIFICATION OF FLAWS IN PEB USING DPT TEST are discuss in this post. The use of PEB is highly economical and Eco friendly. By the application of this we can save the natural resources. It has numerous advantages.

IDENTIFICATION OF FLAWS IN PEB USING DPT TEST

The joining and fixing of I-shape members makes as I-beams and columns. These forms by welding the steel plates together. And connects through bolts. And forms an entire frame of the Pre-engineered building. It reduces the Construction cost and time of Mass buildings and Heavy structures. The Welding is the major connection of members. The welding makes to connect the member strongly. It should be free from all the Defects.

To confirm the proper welding connections in the members to form a strong Connection many tests performs like, DPT,etc.

Dye Penetration Testing (DPT) is a test uses to identify the discontinuities in welding joints in PEB members. And uses to detect the cracks, fractures, pinholes, porosity, potholes, in PEB members.

Dye Penetration Testing has many names like,

The Liquid Penetrate Inspection
The Penetration Testing

It is a simple test. And a easy test to identify the discontinuities in welding joints. And to detect the cracks, fractures, pinholes, porosity, potholes, in the PEB members. Using this method all the surface defects and the flaws are easily identify and rectify. This test carries out without difficulties. This is one of the oldest test for identification of the cracks, fractures, pinholes, porosity, potholes, in PEB members.

IDENTIFICATION OF FLAWS IN PEB USING DPT TEST PROCEDURES

The Inception starts after a minimum time period of ten minutes. And not later than 60 minutes after application of the developer. This evaluation carries out in a dark environment.

It is clearly visible on to the surface of PEB Members. Now the discontinuities in welding joints identifies. Some of the false indications like machine marks and scratches, etc are not consider as major faults.

These indications are some of the proof for mechanical errors in welding.

Some of the major indications are consider as major flaws and as follows,

Crack indications more than 2 MM .
The crack length more than 3 times its own size.
Round and oval type cracks more-than its width.

MATERIALS FOR DPT TESTING IN PEB

abbu riyaz 1 May, 2023

The MATERIALS FOR DPT TESTING IN PEB is discuss in this post. Dye Penetration Testing (DPT) is a test uses to identify the discontinuities in welding joints in PEB members. And uses to detect the cracks, fractures, pinholes, porosity, potholes, in PEB members.

The Dye Penetration Testing has many names like,

The Liquid Penetrate Inspection
The Penetration Testing

MATERIALS FOR DPT TESTING IN PEB

The MATERIALS FOR DPT TESTING IN PEB are as follows,

Cleaner
Penetrant
Developer

The Cleaner, Penetrant and Developer are the three main materials for this DPT testing. These are all Non toxic chemicals. And Eco friendly materials. Using these Cleaner, Penetrant and Developer DPT testing carries out.

1. Cleaner

The Cleaner is uses to clean the surface and connections of member. The specimen to test (PEB Member) cleans for applying of the Penetrant in welding joints. It must be free from dirt, dust, paint, oil, grease and other foreign materials. For this cleaning a organic chemical like acetone uses. It is a colorless and Non toxic chemical. And a portable material comes in spray cans and in tins.

2. Penetrant

The Penetrant is on of the main element in DPT testing. Penetrant is a Dye. Its a coloring agent. It is of a high contrast color. Penetrants are red in color. So that the indications seen clearly above the white developer.

It is a water washable type. And easily cleans after testing on the materials. Penetrant sprays on the welding joints and other connections of PEB members.

It allows to remains for three to five minutes on the member. This makes to get the penetrant sink into the cracks,pores,etc. This depends on the size of the PEB members to test.

3. Developer

The excess penetrant removes from the welding joints and other connections of PEB members. And Developer applies on the welding joints and other connections of PEB members.

The Developer is white in color. The developer applies quickly on to the surface of area. And welding joints to examine on the member. This carries out with spraying. The complete area of penetrant covers with spraying the white Developer. This application of developer carries out within one to two minutes after drying of penetrant.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF DPT TEST

abbu riyaz 1 May, 2023

THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF DPT TEST are discuss in this post. DPT test has many advantages and disadvantages. DPT is a test uses to identify the discontinuities of welding joints in the PEB members. It is a simple test. And it uses to detect the flaws in the PEB members.

The Pre Engineered Building (PEB) System is growing rapidly in almost all parts of the world. The use of PEB is highly economical. And Eco friendly. By the application of this we can save the natural resources. It has numerous advantages.

The joining and fixing of I-shape members makes as I-beams and the columns. These forms by welding the steel plates together. And connects through the bolts. And forms an entire frame of the Pre-engineered building.

It reduces the Construction cost and time of Mass buildings and Heavy structures. By application of this we can reduce mass pollution. And prevent mother nature.

The Welding is the major connection of members. These welding makes to connect the member strongly. It should be free from all the flaws.

This testing has many names like,

The Liquid Penetrate Inspection
The Penetration Testing

It is a simple test. And a easy test to identify the discontinuities in welding joints. Using this method all the surface defects and the flaws easily identifies and rectifies. This test carries out without difficulties. This is the oldest test for the PEB members.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF DPT TEST

THE ADVANTAGES OF DPT TEST

The Dye Penetration Testing has many advantages. The Advantages of Dye Penetration Testing are as follows,

Low cost for performing the test
Non toxic chemicals
Eco friendly testing
Minute Defects identifies quickly and accurately
Low cost for the testing materials (Chemicals)
Easily cleans after testing on the materials
Complicated joints tests easily without difficulties
Easily carries (Portable)
Simple Producers
Fine on the rough surfaces and welding joints

THE DISADVANTAGES OF DPT TEST

The Disadvantages of Dye Penetration Testing are as follows,

Only the Surface flaws identifies
Needs a proper Handling and disposal of the Chemicals
Difficult to examine the Compact materials
Difficult to identify the deep holes, porosity, cracks, in the welding joints
Easily over washes.
