ESTABLISH A BASELINE FOR NEW PANELS
-
Establish a baseline for new panels by
processing with unused penetrant materials. Use the same materials
and processing parameters as used in the penetrant system which the
panel is intended to monitor. In particular, if dry powder developer
is used, apply the powder in the same manner as in the actual
system, e.g., dust chamber, immersion, electro-static, etc.
Record the baseline, i.e., the number of
cracks detected, their appearance, as well as background condition.
-
After establishing the baseline, clean
the panel following specified procedures.
AMS 2647-B specifies cleaning and storing
to the manufacturer’s instructions, or according to AMS 2647-B
paragraphs 3.3.7.1 through 3.3.7.3, which, in brief, suggest removing
the developer with water and a soft bristle brush, dyng, then soaking
the panel in a volatile solvent, e.g., isopropyl alcohol (Sherwin
DR-63), acetone (Sherwin DR-64), methyl ethyl ketone, etc., for at least
ten minutes. Then, dry thoroughly before reuse.
Do not store PSM-5TM panels in
an alkaline solution.
Sherwin Incorporated’s recommended
post-cleaning procedures are found in the “Maintenance” section of this
bulletin.
