Magnetic particle inspection (MT) is a non-destructive testing method used to detect surface and slightly subsurface flaws in ferromagnetic materials (such as carbon steel). It is used routinely to inspect welds, piping, pressure vessels and structural steel components.
Application
- New fabrication welds for code compliance to :
- ASME Section V for pressure vessels.
- ASME B31.1 and B31.3 for piping.
- API 1104 for pipelines.
- Castings and forgings, valves and their components, machined parts, pressure vessels, cranes and structural steel welds for cracks, non-fusion, cold laps In-service welds.
Advantages
- Flaws are highly visible, The equipment is:
- Portable and can be battery powered
- Light enough to take easily onto scaffolding
- Non-hazardous to operations or other nearby personnel
- Very good sensitivity to fatigue cracking, tight fusion, HIC and SCC
Personnel Qualifications
Our inspectors are highly qualified, holding MT certifications at Level 2 in accordance with the SNT TC 1A certification scheme.
This qualification process ensures that our personnel possess the necessary knowledge, skills, and expertise to perform magnetic particle testing.
Products
Equipped with following products:
- AC Magnetic Yoke: MATCON MAT 230
- Permanent Yoke: The MAG-1 magnet is ideal for the effective magnetization of components for crack detection, particularly where the use of electromagnetic yokes is impractical or prohibited for safety reasons.
- Srem products: FLUXO 3 (Black magnetic Ink) FLUXO 4 (White contrast paint)
- Accessories for cleaning and preparing the surface or piece for inspection, and clean up after carrying out test.
