Magnetic Particle Testing is also known as Magnetic particle Inspection (MPI). Magnetic particle Inspection (MPI) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) process for detecting surface and slightly subsurface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials such as nickel ,iron, cobalt, and some of their alloys. The process puts a magnetic field into the part. The piece can be magnetized by direct or indirect magnetization.

Direct magnetization occurs when the electric current is passed through the test object and a magnetic field is formed in the material. Indirect magnetization occurs when no electric current is passed through the test object, but a magnetic field is applied from an outside source. The magnetic lines of force are perpendicular to the direction of the electric current, which may be either alternating current (AC) or some form of direct current (DC) (rectified AC).

Non-Destructive Testing for MPT :

The presence of a surface or subsurface discontinuity in the material allows the magnetic flux to leak, since air cannot support as much magnetic field per unit volume as metals. A wet horizontal MPI machine is the most commonly used mass-production inspection machine.

This requires special equipment that works the opposite way of the magnetizing equipment. The magnetization is normally done with a high current pulse that reaches a peak current very quickly and instantaneously turns off leaving the part magnetized. To demagnetize a part, the current or magnetic field needed has to be equal to or greater than the current or magnetic field used to magnetize the part.

This course contains Level 1 and 2 study material from NDT Consultancy Services and covers the theory of Magnetic Particle Examination. Magnetic fields, flux leakage, magnetization processes, particles/mediums, applications, basic principles, and safety considerations are addressed.

Are you looking to upgrade or advance your NDT qualification? Do you want to acquire non-destructive testing certification? Would you prefer online NDT classes or conventional classroom courses? You can rest assured you will find certification courses matching your preference.

Whether you are an NDT professional and are already employed or are looking to start your professional career in this field, you should understand that each of these situations requires different ways or courses for that matter to deliver critical information. Also, an acceptable training method or course for one might not work for another. So, you need to look for NDT certification courses that are designed to meet the needs and schedules of a wide variety of people.

Classroom training allows you the opportunity to attend high-impact, professional NDT courses that comply with standard of NDT qualification and certification ASNT- SNT-TC-1A, CP 189 or NAS 410. These classes teach both theory and application of a particular NDT method. Opportunities are also made available to provide hands-on experience with necessary techniques and tools.

On the other hand, online NDT training helps professionals save time and expenses, while allowing beginners to learn ASNT SNT-TC-1A, CP-189 or NAS 410 recommended studies sitting in the comfort of their own space.
