Applying MIL-HDBK-1823 for POD Demonstration on a Fluorescent Penetrant System

This paper provides a practical and statistical review of the guidelines stated in MIL-HDBK-1823 regarding the number of discontinuities, the distribution of discontinuity sizes and how the sizes are distributed across the specimen standard (note that MIL-HDBK-1823 uses the term “flaw” for “discontinuity”). A general overview of the accepted POD analysis technique for fluorescent PT systems and interpretation of results will also be given, since the results of the statistical analysis can be subject to is interpretation even with a well-designed specimen standard.
