dipenuhi
8.6.2 Sebelum developer diaplikasikan pada
permukaan, developer hams dikocok
terlebih dahulu untuk meyakinkan
kekentalan dari partikel dan menghasilkan
dispersi yang sesuai
8.6.3 Developer harus diaplikasikan sehingga
tebal lapisannya cukup untuk menarik
cairan dari cacat ke permukaan tetapi tidak
boleh berlebihan sehingga tidak menutupi
indikasi dari cacat tersebut.
8.6.4 Waktu minimum untuk developing sampai
interprestasi adalah 10 - 30 menit

minimise removal of penetrant from
discontinuities.
8.4.2 Excess solvent removable penetrants shall
be removed by wiping with a dry clean
cloth or absorbent paper, repeating the
operation until most traces of penetrant
have been removed.
8.4.3 The remaining traces shall be removed by
lightly wiping the surface with a clean
cloth or absorbent paper moistened with
solvent.
8.4.4 To minimize removal of penetrant from
discontinuities, care shall be taken to
avoid the use of excess solvent. Flushing
the surface with solvent, following the
application of the penetrant and prior to
developing, is prohibited.
