1. SCOPE
1.1. This procedure specification describes the techniques for wet magnetic particles testing on
ferromagnetic materials, for surface and sub-surface discontinuities. The procedure applies to the
testing of butt welds, fillet welds, castings, forgings, plates and tubulars etc.
Issued May 14, 2020
2. REFERENCE
2.1. ASME BPV Section V SE – 709
2.2. ASME BPV Section V, Article 7
2.3. AWS D1.1 – 2015 Edition, Table 6.1
3. PERSONNEL QUALIFICATION AND RESPONSIBILITY

3.1. Magnetic Particle Examination will be performed and indications evaluated by technicians
qualified and certified as Level II for MT Method in accordance with ASNT-TC-1A.
4. MAGNETIZATION EQUIPMENT / TECHNIQUES

4.1. Yoke Technique
Electromagnetic Yoke or Permanent Magnet shall used forlocalized magnetization of small and
large component with wet magnetic particles.
Yoke shall be calibrated at least once a year, or whenever it has been subjected to major electric
repair or damage. If it has not been in use for a year or more, calibration shall be done prior to
first use.
5. MAGNETIC PARTICLES
5.1. Wet Magnetic Particles
Color contrast non-fluorescent wet magnetic particles suspended in a vehicle (oil, water,
kerosene) or in pressurized cans shall be used. The mixing and concentration of wet magnetic
particles is not permitted.
Wet magnetic particles may be applied by spraying or flowing over the areas to be inspected
during magnetization.
Test surface temperature shall not exceed 50 degrees C or limitation set by manufacture.
6. SURFACE PREPARATION
6.1. This surface of the part plus adjacent area (at least 1” on both sides) to be tested shall be
essentially clean, dry and free of contaminants such as oil, grease, loose sand, lint, thick paint
(more than 2mils / 50.8 m), welding flux and spatter. Mechanical cleaning, chemical cleaning
and sandblasting may be employed. Apply and evenly thin layer of white contrast paint when
wet magneticparticle issued.
7. MAGNETISATION
7.1. A Ferromagnetic material can be magnetized by passing an electric current through the material
by an external source. Discontinuities may occur in any orientation, it may be necessary to
magnetize the part or area of interest twice or more sequentially in different directions to be
approximately 90° to those of the first examination.
Issued May 14, 2020
7.2. The adequacy and direction of the magnetic field shall be verified using a magnetic field
indicator, with the exception of the magnetic flow (yoke) technique whereby direction only
may be verified. The adequacy of magnetic flow equipment shall be verified using the lift test
detailed in ASME BPV Section V SE – 709 Paragraph 14.
8. EXAMINATION COVERAGE
8.1. All examinations shall be conducted with sufficient field overlap to ensure 100% coverage
at the required sensitivity.
9. SAFETY PRECAUTION
9.1. Pay highly attention to yoke electric shock, fire due to MT chemical being used, inhalation
toxic material and magnetic particle.
9.2. Use appropriate Personnel Protective Equipment.
10. TECHNIQUE OF OPERATION

10.1. Wet continuous Magnetization Technique
The surface of part being tested is bathed or sprayed with wet magnetic particles and terminating
the particle application simultaneously with the 0.5 second.Inspect the test surface while the wet
particles are flowing away and the magnetizing current is still on.
11. MAGNETIC STRENGTH CALIBRATION

11.1. Yoke magnetization
When using AC, the electromagnetic yokes should have a lifting force of at least 4.5 Kgs (10
Lbs) is used at 2 – 6” Yoke pole leg spacing.
12. INTERPRETATION AND RECORDING OF INDICATIONS

12.1. All indications shall be evaluated which is illuminated by daylight or artificial light to a
minimum level 1000 Lux (100 Fc) whether it is relevant or non-relevant indication. Any
indication which is believed to be non-relevant shall be regarded as defect until the indication is
eliminated by surface conditioning or if it is demonstrated to be non-relevant.
12.2. With Non-fluorescent, Wet Particles
To determine the indication is relevant or non-relevant, remove the particles attracted to the field
leakage, after switching off the current. Visually inspect for surface irregularities, then re-
magnetize, apply particles and re-inspect.
12.3. When required, indication can be recorded by means of photographs or sketch.
Issued May 14, 2020
13. TYPICAL MAGNETIC PARTICLE INDICATIONS

13.1. Surface discontinuities with few exceptions procedure sharp and distinct magnetic particle
indications.
Near surface discontinuities on the other hand produce less distinct of fuzzy magnetic particle
indications in comparison to surface discontinuities the magnetic particle indication are broad
rather than sharps and the particles are less lightly held.
14. EVALUATION OF SYSTEM PERFORMANCE/SENSITIVITY

14.1. The Performance/sensitivity of test system can be evaluated by one of the following
methods.
14.2. Artificial test parts with discontinuities introduced like field indicators.
14.3. The test parts should be magnetically same materials as the material of parts being tested
example is the test Ring Specimen.
14.4. Magnetic Field Indicators.
Magnetic field indicators may be used as convenient rough check on the adequacy and direction
of part magnetization but not as quantitative indicator of field strength or distribution. Example
of field indicators are Burmah Castrol Type I (brass) magnetic strips (where all the 3 lines to be
seen when used) or the copper faced pie type (where a distinct line need to be seen when used).
15. MARKING AND RECORDING

15.1. Where necessary for repair procedures, the positions of flaws may be marked on the
testedsurface by a method which will not adversely affect that surface.
15.2. Indications shall be recorded and reported (see section 14 below) according to
classification.
15.3. "Linear Indications"- indications in which the length is more than three times the width -
where not able to be further classified shall be treated as crack like flaws.
15.4. "Rounded indications"- indications that are circular or elliptical with a length equal to or
less than three times the width.
15.5. "Inclusions" (Intermittent and aligned) - shall be treated as linear indications.
15.6. "Cracks and Crack like Flaws"- position, size, orientation and type;
15.7. "Non-Relevant Indications"- due to spurious effects, eg magnetic writing, changes in
section, manufacturing marks, boundaries etc. Must be stringently tested prior to confirmation
as Non- Relevant. Wherever practicable, these indications shall be dressed and retested by
Penetrant Test (PT) or other applicable test method for confirmation as Non-Relevant.
Issued May 14, 2020
16. POST CLEANING AND DEMAGNETIZATION

16.1. Post cleaning shall be carried out in cases where residual of surface contrast enhancement
chemical or ferromagnetic particles could interfere with subsequent processing or service
requirements.Brushing and wiping of solvent damped rag may be employed in cleaning the part
16.2. Demagnetization of parts after test may be necessary but this will be only be carried out
where specified by client and included in the contract agreed. It shall be carried out to one of
techniques detailed in ASME BPV Section V SE – 709 Paragraph 18.
17. TESTING PROCEDURE/TECHNIQUE

17.1. The technique to carry out MT is detailed in separate technique sheets.
See attached Technique Sheets No. TS-01 to TS-03.
17.2. When required the techniques may be qualified on site during production test.
18. REPORTING
18.1. All MT shall be reported in standard format (attachment 1) accompanied with sketches of
the part being tested and location of indication, if any. The report shall be submitted to client and
copy maintained byPT. GUNUNG RAJA PAKSI. The client is responsible for the safe keeping
and distribution of the report.
