SCOPE:
1.1
This procedure covers the Magnetic Particle Examination method using portable AC/DC
electromagnetic yoke by using non-fluorescent ferromagnetic particles and acceptance
standards, which shall be followed whenever Magnetic Particle examination is specified.
1.2
This procedure shall be used in the examination of all ferromagnetic materials and weld
joints of all shapes and sizes to detect surface open discontinuities . The stage extent and
location of examination shall be as specified in Quality Inspection Plan.

4.2.1
AC/DC Electromagnetic Yoke shall be verified for lifting power as specified below.
4.2.2
Steel block shall be weighed with a scale from reputable manufacturer and stenciled with the
applicable nominal weight prior to first use. This Weight need be verified again only if
damaged in a manner that could have caused potential loss of material.

CALIBRATION
4.3.1
Visible light meter (Lux meter) shall be calibrated atleast once a year or whenever
the meter has been repaired. If meters have not been in use for one year or more,
calibration shall be before being used.

SURFACE PREPARATION:
5.1
The surface to be examined and all adjacent areas within at least one inch shall be
dry and free of all dirt, grease, lint, scale, welding flux and spatter, oil and other
extraneous matter that could interfere with the examination.

5.4 1 For Non Fluorescent MT, thin uniform layer of non-magnetic surface contrast paint shall
be applied on the uncoated examination surface only in amount sufficient to enhance the
particle contrast and it shall be demonstrated that the indications can be detected through
the enhancement as per Para 150 of ASME Sec. V Article 1. Actual thickness
measurement of this nonmagnetic contrast enhancement coating is not required.

6.1
Either dry or wet, no fluorescent particles which gives highest contrast with the part
surface shall be used for the examination as specified in the table given below.

The temperature of the part surface and dry or wet particle suspension shall not exceed
122F(50 C) or as recommended by the manufacturer. Alternatively particles may be
used outside manufacturer's recommendations providing the procedure is qualified in
accordance with section V of ASME article 1, T-150.

APPLICATION OF PARTICLES
6.4.1
The dry particles may be applied by dusting or blowing on the part surface. The wet
bath may be applied on the part surface by pouring or spraying.
7.0
METHOD OF EXAMINATION:
7.1
Before the magnetic particle examination is conducted check of the examination surface shall
be conducted to locate any discontinuity surface opening which may not attract and hold
magnetic particles because of their widths.
7.2
7.3
The examination shall be done by the continuous method that is the magnetising current
remains "ON" while the examination media is being applied and while excess
of
media being removed by light air stream or bulb or syringe or other source of low
Pressure dry air,when dry particles are used. In case of wet particles the wet bath shall
be stopped at the instant the current is 'ON'.
7.4
7.5
Field adequacy may be checked by placing the Field Indicator on the surface to be
examined The maximum pole spacing permitted during examination shall be
200 mm and the pole spacing less than 2 inches shall be avoided.
8.0
EXAMINATION COVERAGE:
8.1
All examinations shall be conducted with 50% overlap to assure 100% coverage at the
required sensitivity.

INTERPRETATION
9.1
10.0
EVALUATION OF INDICATIONS:
10.1
10.2
10.3
Relevant indications are those which result from unacceptable mechanical discontinuities
and which have any dimension greater than 1/16(1.5 mm). Rounded indications are
those indications which are circular or elliptical with the length less than or equal to three
times the width. Linear indications are those indications in which the length is more than
three times the width.
10.4
An indication of the discontinuity may be larger than the discontinuity that causes it,
however, the size of the indication and not the size of the discontinuity is the basis of
acceptance or rejection. Only indications which have any dimension greater than
1/16 inch (1.5mm) shall be considered relevant.
