The Five Star TAM Panel is engineered to meet the stringent requirements of MIL-STD-6866, paragraph 5.8.3, making it an essential tool for conducting daily system performance checks in penetrant testing applications. TAM panels are indispensable in maintaining compliance and ensuring the reliability of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods, particularly in aerospace and industrial inspection. Five Star offers two TAM panel finishes: a highly polished, mirror-like chrome or a lightly grit-blasted finish that reduces reflectivity for varied inspection needs.

These panels are crafted with precision, using 4" x 6" stainless steel with a chromed or grit-blasted finish on the left side and a grit-blasted texture on the right side, to meet specifications set by Pratt & Whitney (TAM 146040) and ASTM E-1417 standards. The left side of the panel includes five distinct indications induced through an automated cracking process, providing reliable benchmarks for penetrant system sensitivity.

Key Features:

1. MIL-STD Compliance:

   • Designed to meet the MIL-STD-6866 and Pratt & Whitney TAM 146040 specifications, these panels are a dependable choice for NDT technicians aiming to meet industry-standard compliance and testing accuracy.

2. Two Surface Options:

   • Choose from a polished, mirror-like chrome finish for high-reflectivity inspections or a grit-blasted chrome option for inspections requiring reduced glare.

3. Periodic Recalibration:

   • Each panel is recommended for annual recalibration and recertification, following Pratt & Whitney specifications. Five Star Panels can be returned to the manufacturer’s facility for cleaning, crack measurement, and recertification.

4. Built for Reliable Testing:

   • The TAM panel's left side includes five crack indications produced through an automated cracking process, creating reliable reference points to monitor the penetrant system’s sensitivity and accuracy daily.
