Magnetic Particle Testing
Magnetic Particle Testing Magnetic particle inspection is a method that can be used to find surface and near surface flaws in ferromagnetic materials such as steel and iron.
Magnetic Particle Testing The technique uses the principle that magnetic lines of force (flux) will be distorted by the presence of a flaw in a manner that will reveal it's presence. IRON POWDER N S S S N N CRACK
Magnetic Particle Testing The iron particles can be applied dry or wet; suspended in a liquid, colored or fluorescent. While magnetic particle inspection is primarily used to find surface breaking flaws, it can also be used to locate sub-surface flaws. But it's effectiveness quickly diminishes depending on the flaw depth and type.
Magnetic Particle Testing Surface irregularities and scratches can give misleading indications. Therefore it is necessary to ensure careful preparation of the surface before magnetic particle testing is undertaken.
Liquid Penetrant Testing
Liquid Penetrant Testing Liquid penetrant inspection is a method that is used to reveal surface breaking flaws by bleedout of a colored or fluorescent dye from the flaw.
Liquid Penetrant Testing The technique is based on the ability of a liquid to be drawn into a "clean" surface breaking flaw by capillary action. Penetration Penetrant Fluorescent penetrant on surface seeps into the crack.
Ultrasonic Testing
Ultrasonic Testing Ultrasonic inspection uses sound waves of short wavelength and high frequency to detect flaws or measure material thickness. It is used on aircraft, the power stations generating plant, or welds in pressure vessels at an oil refinery or paper mill.
Ultrasonic Testing Usually pulsed beams of high frequency ultrasound are used via a hand- held transducer which is placed on the specimen.
Eddie Current Testing
Eddie Current Testing Eddy current testing is an electromagnetic technique and can only be used on conductive materials. It's applications range from crack detection, to the rapid sorting of small components for either flaws, size variations, or material variation. Commonly it is used in the aerospace, automotive, marine and manufacturinq industries.
Eddie Current Testing When the eddy currents in the specimen are distorted by the presence of the flaws or material variations, the impedance in the coil is altered. This change is measured and displayed in a manner that indicates the type of flaw or material condition.
Acoustic Emission Testing
Acoustic Emission Testing Acoustic emission monitoring (AE) involves listening to the sounds (which are usually inaudible to the human ear) made by a material, structure or machine in use or under load and drawing conclusions about it's "state of health" from what is heard, just as a Doctor would listen to your heart and lungs.
Acoustic Emission Testing Applications include testing pipelines and storage tanks (above and below the ground), fibreglass structures, rotating machinery, weld monitoring and biological and chemical changes.
Radiography(X-Ray Inspection)
Radiography(X-Ray Inspection) X-rays are produced by high voltage x ray machines whereas gamma rays are produced from radioactive isotopes such as Iridium 192 .The x-ray or gamma rays are placed close to the material to be inspected and they pass through the material and are then captured on film. This film is then processed and the image is obtained as a series of gray shades between black and white.
Radiography(X-Ray Inspection) X-rays and gamma rays are very hazardous. Special precautions must be taken when performing radiography. Therefore the operator will use these inside a protective enclosure or with appropriate barriers and warning signals to ensure there are no hazards to personnel.
