c. Penetrant Application:
The penetrant may be applied by brushing, spraying, or

Allow a minimum of 30 minutes dwell time to a maximum of
240 minutes. Extended dwell time may require rewetting

Rinse the part by waterwash using a low-pressure spray
(pressure not to exceed 40 PSIG) and a temperature of
16°C to 38°C (60°F to 100°F).
g. Drying/Developer Operation:

in a drying oven at a temperature not to exceed 60°C
(140°F) until dry. Then apply the developer. If an aqueous
developer is to be used, then submerge the part in the de-
veloper solution immediately after washing. Follow by
drying the part in a drying oven as mentioned above. In
either case, parts shall be removed from the drying oven
as soon as they are dry.
