Magnetic Particle Testing

AKMEC Group offers Magnetic particle testing of surface & subsurface discontinuities utilizing a permanent or electromagnetic yokes for inspection of materials & welds of pipes, pressure vessels & other process equipment’s on the construction projects & process plants.

Advantages

Can detect both surface and near sub-surface defects

Some inspection formats are extremely portable and low cost

Indications are visible to the inspector directly on the specimen surface

Relatively safe technique; materials generally not combustible or hazardous

Rapid inspection with immediate results

Can inspect parts with irregular shapes

Limitations

The specimen must be ferromagnetic material

It is not always effective on parts that have complex surface geometry

Alignment between magnetic flux and defect is important
