Experienced Dye Penetrant Inspection Specialists
At Bravura Inspection, we offer expert Dye Penetrant Inspection (DPI) services, an effective, reliable, and cost-efficient non-destructive testing method for identifying surface-breaking defects in non-porous materials. DPI is widely recognised for its simplicity and sensitivity, making it ideal for detecting flaws such as fatigue cracks, porosity, leaks, and welding irregularities.
Our team of PCN-certified technicians uses both visible and fluorescent dye systems, depending on the inspection environment and component requirements. Whether you’re working with stainless steel, aluminium, ceramics, or other non-ferrous materials, Bravura ensures that each inspection meets the highest standards of accuracy and repeatability. We offer both on-site and in-house testing to suit your operations, serving industries such as aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, marine, and energy with dependable results and minimal disruption.

Benefits of Dye Penetrant Inspection
Versatility
Cost-Effective
High Sensitivity
Despite being one of the most straightforward NDT methods, DPI offers high sensitivity to surface-breaking defects. It is capable of detecting extremely fine cracks, pinholes, and porosity that may not be visible to the naked eye, making it a reliable choice for ensuring component quality and performance.
On-Site and In-House Capabilities
We provide both portable and lab-based DPI services to accommodate the specific requirements of your operation. We offer inspections using either visible red dyes (for daylight visibility) or fluorescent penetrants (requiring UV light for high sensitivity), giving you flexible options for achieving the most accurate results in any environment.
