Surface discontinuity: Open to surface discontinuity.

Subsurface discontinuity – a discontinuity that is not open onto the surface of an product or test job.
Non relevant indication – indications that are not due to discontinuities.
May be due to abrupt changes in article shape, surface roughness, etc.
Classification of Defects by Origin
Typically grouped into 3 stages:
1. Inherent
2. Processing
3. Service-Induced (also call In-service discontinuity)

Definitions
Discontinuity – An interruption (Gas hole, cold shut, crack, forging lap, seam, inclusion, porosity, etc.) in the normal physical structure or configuration of an product or part.
It may or may not be a defect
Defect – a discontinuity that interferes with the usefulness of a part or exceeds  or acceptability limits established by applicable Standard Specifications & Code
Not all discontinuities are defects
Surface discontinuity – a discontinuity open to the surface
May be observed through VT, PT, or MT, More likely harmful to product than a       subsurface discontinuity since it provide start for further damage.

• This examination process is useful for detection of open to surface discontinuities only.
• Applicable to varieties of non porous materials.
• Produces enlarged indication for easy detection.
• Relative volume of a flaw is indicated by the amount of bleed out.

• Discontinuities are detected by a penetrating colored liquid.
• Indications form directly over the defect.
• This method detects surface breaking discontinuities only.

Liquid Penetrant Testing:  The oil & whitening was first method used in early 20th century oil diluted by kerosene was used as penetrant and chalk powder as developer.

Non Destructive examination.

The following is a list of nondestructive examination
methods and respective abbreviations used within
the scope of Section V:
RT — Radiography
UT — Ultrasonics
MT — Magnetic Particle
PT — Liquid Penetrants
VT — Visual
LT — Leak Testing
ET — Electromagnetic (Eddy Current)
AE — Acoustic Emission

Today  Awareness Session was conducted for Non-Destructive Examination at Dhole Patil College of Engineering, Pune. Total 72 students have been benefited from this training program.

What is destructive Testing:

Destructive testing (DT) is the process of inspecting, testing, or evaluating materials, components or assemblies for discontinuities, or differences in characteristics by destroying the serviceability of the part or system. In other words, when the inspection or test is completed the part can not be used.

What is Non- Destructive Testing?

Nondestructive testing (NDT) is the process of inspecting, testing, or evaluating materials, components or assemblies for discontinuities, or differences in characteristics without destroying the serviceability of the part or system. In other words, when the inspection or test is completed the part can still be used.
