DEVELOPMENT OF PENETRANT TESTING NON-DESTRUCTIVE TEST MONITORING USING IOT SYSTEM

Penetrant testing is an important quality control measure used in the manufacturing industry to detect surface defects in welded components. Ensuring the consistency and reliability of the testing process is crucial for obtaining accurate results. According to ISO 3452 no 1 2021, the ambient temperature should be between 10°C and 50°C during the testing process. The light intensity should be at least 500 lux. However, manual monitoring and control of the testing process can be time-consuming and error-prone and may not provide sufficient visibility into the process. The main objective of this project is to automate the penetrant testing monitoring and reducing the need for manual monitoring and control using IoT system. The methodology used to develop the IoT-based device for monitoring the penetrant testing process is design the prototype using Solidworks Software. Hardware used are Arduino Uno as Microcontroller with NodeMCU ESP8266 as Wi-fi Connectivity module, temperature and light intensity sensor to collect data on various parameters. It connected to mobile app or web interface that can be monitored remotely by the operator. The expected result of this project is to reduce the need for manual monitoring for the penetrant testing process, collects data on parameters, including temperature and light intensity, and provides alerts if any issues are detected. Ensures that the parameters of the testing process meet the requirements specified by ISO 3452 no 1 2021. The IoT-based device designed for monitoring the penetrant testing process holds promising potential in enhancing the effectiveness and precision of the testing procedures., as well as provide greater visibility and control for manufacturers.
