Covers magnetizing and associated equipment; detecting media; safety precautions; testing procedures; surface preparation; magnetization; application of detecting medium; viewing; recording of indications; reporting; demagnetization. Appendices cover selection of techniques, areas to be inspected, test pieces, report, technique and procedure sheets and preservation of indications. See also PD 6513.
This British Standard specifies techniques and procedures for magnetic particle flaw detection of ferromagnetic materials. Magnetic particle flaw detection is primarily used for the detection of surface-breaking flaws, particularly cracks. It can also detect flaws just below the surface, but its sensitivity diminishes rapidly with depth.
