Magnetic Particle Inspection LEVEL I (MT1)
This technique introduces magnetic fields into a ferromagnetic material. Surface or sub-surface flaws generate magnetic flux leakage fields, which can be detected using ferromagnetic particles attracted to the leakage site.
Course Content
- Magnetic fields in and around magnets
- Principles of magnetism
- Limitations of magnetism in the various metals, i.e. paramagnetic, diamagnetic and ferromagnetic.
- Flux leakage fields, when used for inspection purposes and flaw detection, Magnetic hysteresis of various metals, advantages and disadvantages of the magnetic particle method.
- Generation of magnetic fields in materials using electrical current flow; AC and DC yokes, transformer power packs, test benches.
- Permanent magnets.
- Magnetic field and intensity measuring and detection using Hall gauges, field strength meters and flux indicators.
- Inspection using fluorescent and visible contrast particles (wet and dry).
- Illumination for inspection, white light and ultraviolet energy.
- Practical exercises.
- Reporting and procedures.
- End-of-course examinations.
Duration
5 DAYS (24 Hrs. Classroom training, 2 Exam days)
What’s Included:
- Course Material/Notes
- Theory Exam
- Practical Exam
- Use of equipment/ consumables
Requirements
Grade 12 Certificate
