(ASNT: SNT-TC-1A: 2011)
This course deals with basic principles of Magnetic Particle Testing, safety precautions, magnetization methods & techniques, magnetization & electric current, magnetic particles and application methods, principles of demagnetization, magnetic testing equipment, types of discontinuities and evaluation techniques, and magnetic testing quality control. Students will prepare a detailed report with reference to test procedures, standards and codes of practice.
At the end of the course, the participants will be able to;
- Understand basic Principles; Flux Fields; Alternating & Direct pulsating currents.
- Understand factors affecting Depth of penetration.
- Understand Effects of Discontinuities on Materials; Current calculation formulas.
- Understand Current directional flow versus flux field; Discontinuities commonly detected.
- Select the Proper Method of Magnetization; Sequence of operations.
- Understand Demagnetization Procedures & Need for demagnetization of parts.
- Operate Equipment; Black light type; Understand Light characteristics & Tests for black light intensity.
- Understand Quality Control of Equipment and Processes; Malfunctioning of equipment.
- Understand Bath concentration; Settling & Other bath-strength tests.
- Test many numbers of flawed specimens using magnetic particle tests.
- Interpret results based on ASTM/ASME standards and specifications.
- Interpret the Company Procedure to perform acceptance/rejection.
