NiCr Penetrant Test PanelsThe 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 inuse 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 postemulsified penetrant, developers, or the processing equipment itself. NiCr Test Panels are also known as ISO 3452-3 Type 1 reference blocks.INSTRUCTIONSPrior to use, each panel should be cleaned to ensure that no residues are left on the panel. Drying with heat is recommended to completely remove all water from the cracks. After the panels are clean and dry, they can be processed in accordance with penetrant system materials and parameters to simulate production conditions. Typically, one panel is processed using new, unused materials and the other panel is processed using working / in-use materials.DIMENSIONSLength:  100mm +/- 2mm            Width:  35mm +/- 2mmThickness:  2mm +/- 0.2mmPlating / flaw depth: 20 microns
