This document is a product data sheet for NiCr test panels used for checking penetrant system performance. The panels contain cracked nickel-chrome plating to simulate flaws. They are supplied as twinned panels so that in-use materials can be compared against new materials. The panels conform to various ISO and ASTM standards for nondestructive testing. They should be cleaned prior to use and processed according to penetrant system parameters to compare performance of new versus used materials.

Twin Test Panels for Checking
Comparative Penetrant System Performance The NiCr Test Panels are made from brass plated with 20 micron nickel-chrome alloy and stressed to induce linear cracks in the plating. The cracked test piece is cut into two twinned panels so that in-use materials can be run in comparison to new and unused materials on identical flaws. Comparison testing can show performance differences in the penetrant material, emulsifiers used with post-emulsified penetrant, developers, or the processing equipment itself. NiCr Test Panels are also known as ISO 3452-3 Type 1 reference blocks. INSTRUCTIONS FEATURES Prior to use, each panel should be cleaned to ensure that no residues are left on the Length 100mm +/- 2mm panel. Drying with heat is recommended to Width 35mm +/- 2mm completely remove all water from the cracks. After the panels are clean and dry, they can be Thickness 2mm +/- 0.2mm processed in accordance with penetrant system Plating / flaw depth 20 microns materials and parameters to simulate production conditions. Typically one panel is processed using new, unused materials and the other panel SPECIFICATIONS is processed using working / in-use materials.
