Magnetic Particle

Magnetic particle testing equipment measures or detects surface and qualified subsurface defects, cracks, seams, porosity, inclusions, and very sensitive for locating small tight cracks.

Magnetic Particle Information

We offer a wide range of magnetic particle materials, equipment, black lights, meters and accessories. This nondestructive inspection method reveals cracks and other surface discontinuities in ferrous & non-ferrous test materials.

Measures or detects surface and qualified subsurface defects, cracks, seams, porosity, inclusions, and very sensitive for locating small tight cracks.

Advantages
  • Low cost
  • Portable
  • Subsurface defects
Disadvantages
  • Ferromagnetic materials only
  • Alignment of magnetic field is critical
  • Demagnetization required after the test
  • Surface coatings can mask defects
  • Pre and post cleaning necessary
  • Messy
