### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The dye penetrant testing process has been a value added quality process for our organization.
*by J***S on December 19, 2019*

Love the ease of use. We use it to inspect the integrity of SST Tig welds in steam piping installations. This is only a surface inspection process in conjunction with a visual inspection but well worth the effort.
