Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection Device Installation Seminar

Fukushima Prefecture has installed a fluorescent penetrant inspection device at High-Tech Plaza. Fluorescent penetrant inspection is an essential technology used in post-processing inspection of aircraft parts and a superior technique for non-destructive inspection that is capable of detecting minute flaws and defects.
At the installation seminar hosted in November 2019, lectures were given on the basics of non-destructive inspection, the place of fluorescent penetrant inspection in the aerospace industry, and an overview of fluorescent penetrant inspection along with a demonstration of the actual device.
