ASTM E1417 is a test method that determines the minimum requirements for conducting liquid penetrant testing of metals and non-metals. The procedure given in the ASTM E1417 test method is applicable to in-process, final, and maintenance examinations. ASTM E1417 has four methods A, B, C and D for different types of specimens. ASTM E1417 test method covers the liquid penetrant examination of metals and non-metals. Read more about ASTM E1417 Liquid Penetrant Testing below.

Introduction to ASTM E1417
ASTM E1417 is a standard practice designed to conduct the liquid penetrant examination of non-porous metals and non-metal components. The practice helps in the detection of discontinuities, lack of fusion, corrosion, cracks, laps cold shuts, and porosity associated with the materials under examination. The penetrant examination processes described in ASTM E1417 apply to in-process, final, and maintenance examinations. The processes given in the ASTM E1417 practice are used to detect discontinuities, such as lack of fusion, corrosion, cracks, laps, cold shuts, and porosity, that are open or connected to the surface of the component under scrutiny. The results obtained are specially used for quality control and specification purposes.
The ASTM E1417 standard practice is generally applicable to both metals and nonmetals, but the use of thermoplastic materials at elevated temperatures requires great caution. The procedure in the ASTM E1417 test method is conducted in testing labs per the instructions from the cognizant engineering organization and helps determine the durability and reliability of materials. MaTestLab has the best lab network in the USA to serve clients with ASTM E1417 test requirements.
ASTM E1417 Test Method
ASTM E1417 test method proceeds with preparing the surface and cleaning it to remove any oil, soil, grease, paint, and other coatings that could prevent the penetrant from entering. Chemical cleaning, mechanical cleaning, and etching are the procedures carried out to fulfill the purpose. Then the penetrant is applied and the penetrant dwell time is recorded. Next, the penetrant is removed, the specimen is dried and the process is repeated. The following methods are used for the removal of penetrants:
Method A and B
In method A, water-washable penetrants are removed through manual or automated water spray, manual wipe, or an air-agitated immersion wash. In method B, Lipophilic post-emulsified penetrants are removed by air-agitated water immersion or by water spray or hydro-air spray rinse after application of an appropriate emulsifier.
Method C and D
In method C, Solvent removable penetrants are removed by wiping the excess penetrant with a cloth and removing the remainder with a solvent-dampened lint-free cloth. In method D, the hydrophilic post-emulsifiable penetrant is removed with water and the application of a hydrophilic emulsifier.

ASTM E1417 Results
ASTM E1417 test method covers the liquid penetrant examination of metals and non-metals. The metals are passed through a series of examinations and then approved or disapproved on the basis of their performance. The materials suitable for specialized applications and accepted on a sampling basis are marked with the symbol ‘p’. The symbol ‘p’ represents 100% examination and approval for use. In the case of dyeing, the maroon dye denotes components accepted on a 100% examination basis whereas yellow dye denotes the sampling basis when the sampling is permitted.
Tests Related to ASTM E1417 ISO 4987 is similar to ASTM E1417 and deals with the liquid penetrant testing of steel and iron castings. The procedure is useful for identifying the properties of metals and specifying their industrial applications as per the approved standards.
