Magnetic particle inspection is primarily used on ferrous
metals. It is an extremely quick inspection for surface weld
crack detection on structural steel, tanks, plates,
etc. Commonly used methods are: Dry Powder Method, Wet Fluorescent
Method and Black Ink Method. Typical applications would be:
- Inspection of structural steel welds during fabrication.
- Dry Powder testing of in-service units up to approximately 500
degrees F
- Large vessel and tank surfaces for cracks
- Turn-around maintenance inspection of gears box components
- Machined components after final machining
- Shafts and bars or surface cracks.
