Abstract

This paper describes the result obtained in a study of AFCEN (French Society for Design and Construction Rules for Nuclear Island Components) in order to caracterize dye penetrant product family, based on experimental test methods of french standards NFA 09.520 and NFA 09.521. In particular, sensitivity tests have been carried out on artificial defects, and correlated with tests on real defects. Some tests on penetrant washability have also been performed. The results obtained with these three series of tests show that the choice of a dye penetrant product family is not without influency on results obtained, and that is not so simple to make the good choice which could, in certain case, be the less bad compromise. This study has permitted the definition of the minimum requirements to be introduced in RCCM code in order to select properly the dye penetrant products.
