Manufacturing
Manufacturing is the use of tools, machines and labor to produce goods for sale or use. It may refer to various human activities ranging from handicraft to high tech, but is most commonly applied to industrial production where raw materials are transformed into finished goods.

Why are cost ascertainment and cost estimation important to a manufacturing firm?
Cost ascertainment as well as cost estimation both are inter-related and are immense use to the management. In case of concern has a sound costing system, the ascertained costs will greatly help the management in the process of estimation of rational accurate costs which are no necessary for a variety of purposes stated above. Moreover, the ascertained costs may be compared with the predetermined costs on a continuing basis and proper and timely steps be taken for controlling costs and maximizing profits.

What type of flooring is used in a footwear showroom?
Many footwear showrooms have a medium to dark, neutral coloured, fine patterned, low twist pile, hard wearing carpet as the floor covering. This is used because it:
* gives a more luxurious and welcoming feel to the space than most hard surfaces
* does not clash with a wide range of shoe colours and makes them more prominent
* is firm enough for the shoes to be tested for comfort * does not create drag in the way a deep pile would, making walking more difficult * does not highlight the shoes' stiff newness as a hard floor might
* is easy to keep clean * does not show small dirt particles
* is durable * does not mark easily, such as from black rubber soles or sprigged shoes or stilettos * conceals any minor flaws in the smoothness of the flooring.
Some specialist shoe showrooms may have hard surfaced areas for specific uses, such as running shoes. These can be covered in durable linoleum or hard wearing types of vinyl. A fine pattern helps to hide flaws dirt particles and marks.

What is liquid penetrant test in non destructive testing?
Liquid penetrant inspection is a nondestructive testing method that does not harm the test piece and is commonly used on materials such as metals, glass, plastics and fired ceramics. This nondestructive testing method relies on the liquid penetrant seeping into the flaw, then forming a surface indication that is observed under special lighting after the penetrant is given time to "bleed out" from the flaw. Liquid Penetrant Inspection (LPI or PT) is very effective in detecting flaws that are open to the surface such as fatigue, quench or grinding cracks; forging cracks and bursts; overload and impact fractures; porosity; laps and seams.
The Process
At Laboratory Testing Inc., the first step in Liquid Penetrant Inspection is to thoroughly clean the surface to be inspected to be sure it is free of oil, grease, water, heat-treat scale, paint, plating and other contaminants that may prevent liquid penetrant from entering flaws. The part may also require etching if mechanical operations such as machining, sanding, or grit blasting have been performed because they can smear metal over the flaw opening and prevent the penetrant from entering.
Next, a red visible or fluorescent dye liquid penetrant is applied to the part by spraying, brushing or immersing in a penetrant bath. The liquid penetrant is left on the surface for a sufficient time to allow as much penetrant as possible to seep into a defect. Penetrant dwell time is the total time that the penetrant is in contact with the part's surface.
After the dwell time has elapsed, the excess liquid penetrant is removed from the surface. Depending on the penetrant method used, this step may involve cleaning with a solvent (solvent-removable), direct rinsing with water (water-washable), or first treating the part with an emulsifier (post-emulsifiable) before rinsing with water. When using the water-washable or post-emulsifiable methods, the part is placed in a low-temperature oven and allowed time to dry after rinsing.
A thin layer of developer is applied to the part to assist in drawing penetrant trapped in flaws back to the surface where it will be visible as indications. Developers may be applied by dusting (dry powder) or spraying (wet developers). These indications are larger than the actual flaw, and therefore, are more visible. When using fluorescent penetrants, indications must be viewed under darkened conditions with a high-intensity UV lamp. The final step in the process is to thoroughly clean the surface to remove any residues.
Advantages and Limitations
Liquid Penetrant Inspection offers a fast and relatively inexpensive means of surface inspection since large areas and quantities of parts or materials can be inspected quickly. The process is flexible for inspecting parts of almost any shape and for most materials that are not extremely rough or porous. This process is a nondestructive testing method which does not cause harm to the parts or products being tested. Indications are produced directly on the surface of the part and provide a visual representation of the flaw. Liquid penetrant inspection is highly sensitive to small surface discontinuities.
One of the major limitations of a penetrant inspection is that flaws must be open to the surface. Also, surface finish and roughness can affect inspection sensitivity. Pre-cleaning of parts is critical since contaminants can mask defects, and post-cleaning is required to remove residues.
