Inspection of cleaned plates All cleaned plates are 100 % visually inspected and a sampling of 10 % is dye-penetrant tested for cracks, pinholes or material failure. To locate flaws, one side of the plate is sprayed with dye penetrant. The plate is then inspected under ultraviolet light or with a developer to reveal even the smallest defect in the plate surface. In some cases a 100 % dye-penetrant inspection has to be performed. It depends on material of plates and application of use. Final cleaning of plates After the dye-penetrant test, all plates are again pressure washed and rinsed to...
