Magnetic Testing

MT provides a fast, cost-effective, reliable evaluation of surface defects.

 

 

Magnetic particle inspection has many uses both in the lab and in the field and is effective for:

• Final inspection

• Receiving inspection

• In-process inspection and quality control

• Maintenance and overhaul in the transportation industries

• Plant and machinery maintenance

• Inspection of large components

Magnetic particle testing advantages:

• Can detect both surface and near subsurface indications

• Can inspect large and irregular shapes easily

• Surface preparation not as critical

• Indications are immediately visible directly on the specimen surface

• Inexpensive compared to many other NDT techniques

• Portable inspection especially when used with battery-powered equipment

• Quick and relatively uncomplicated

• Is adapted for site or workshop use

• Training is less stringent than for UT, RT or ET
