Penetrant Testing (PT) Angola
Penetrant testing detects surface-breaking defects on materials where magnetic methods do not apply — stainless steel, aluminium, copper alloys and other non-magnetic components.
Overview
PT is simple, portable and unforgiving of poor preparation: results depend on cleaning, dwell time and lighting discipline. Openmar runs PT to written procedure with controlled consumables and defined dwell and development times, so an accepted weld is genuinely accepted rather than under-inspected.
It is routinely applied to stainless piping welds, machined components, valve bodies and repairs where a leak path would be unacceptable.
Applications
- Stainless and duplex piping welds
- Valve bodies, pump housings and manifolds
- Aluminium and non-ferrous structures
- Machined surfaces and threads
- Leak-path verification after repair
Methodology
Our Process
Pre-cleaning
Prepare and dry the surface so discontinuities remain open to penetrant.
Penetrant Application
Apply penetrant and control dwell time under suitable conditions.
Development
Remove excess penetrant, apply developer and observe indication formation.
Evaluation
Classify indications, record results and complete post-cleaning.
Why Openmar
- Angolan company operating locally, with local content and mobilisation from Luanda
- Written procedures and qualified personnel for every method deployed
- Multi-discipline teams that reduce mobilisations and time on site
- Traceable reporting that supports repair decisions and regulatory files
- ISO 9001 quality management, ANPG registration and HSE documentation available for pre-qualification
Angola Coverage
Openmar mobilises from Luanda to onshore facilities, yards, terminals and offshore installations across Angola, including Cabinda, Soyo and offshore blocks. Teams, procedures and equipment are prepared before mobilisation so work starts on arrival.
