What Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) actually detects

Magnetic particle testing magnetises a ferromagnetic component and applies fine particles that gather at flux leakage from surface and near-surface discontinuities. Yoke, prod, coil and central-conductor techniques are selected by geometry and access.

Surface-breaking cracks in welds and base material
Near-surface lack of fusion and laps
Service-induced fatigue cracking at stress concentrations
Grinding and arc-strike damage
Toe cracks on structural and pressure welds

Codes and acceptance criteria applied

Examinations are performed to written procedures qualified against ASTM E709, ASME Section V Article 7, ASME Section VIII Division 1 Appendix 6, AWS D1.1 and ISO 9934. Acceptance criteria are taken from the construction or in-service code governing the item — ASME Section VIII for pressure vessels, ASME B31.3 for process piping, API 510, API 570 and API 653 for in-service equipment, and AWS D1.1 for structural steel.

How the examination is controlled in Testing Stavanger

Agree personnel qualification, equipment checks, procedure revision and review responsibilities for the examination. Retain those records with the results and coverage limitations.

Reporting and follow-up

Results are issued in the client's required format with indications located against the component and, where relevant, against a corrosion monitoring location so thickness trends stay continuous between campaigns. Findings can be delivered into the client's own maintenance system, or onto a 3D asset model where remaining life and risk-based inspection ranking update as new data arrives.
