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
