The use of fluid penetrants is particularly valuable in detecting discontinuities open to the surface, such as cracks, pores, and blowholes in nonmagnetic materials although it can be used on magnetic material if desired. The work to be tested is immersed in or coated with a fluid of low surface tension. Any surface opening or discontinuity will permit the entrance of the fluid. The excess fluid is removed from the surface and that which remains in the defect will then flow or creep and outline the defect. 1, record 1, English, - fluid%20penetrant
