Penetrant Testing

Nondestructive Testing Handbook, fourth edition: Penetrant
Testing
At ASNTs Spring Conference, Dallas, TX, March 2011, the MT/PT Committee of ASNTs
Technical and Education Council resolved that the working outline of the fourth edition handbook
volume on liquid penetrant testing would be based on the table of contents of the NDT
Handbook, third edition: Volume 2, Liquid Penetrant Testing. The editors have the discretion to
modify the arrangement as need arises.
Persons willing to participate as reviewers are invited to contact the committee chair, David G.
Moore (Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, NM, 505-844-7095; dgmoore@sandia.gov) or
the handbook editor, Patrick Moore, ASNT 614-384-2484, pmoore@asnt.org).
