Magnetic Particle Inspection: Magnetic Particle Testing (commonly called magna-flux testing) is a nondestructive test method used to detect cracks and other discontinuities at or near the surface in ferromagnetic materials such as; eyebolts, crane hooks, welds on specialty lifters, swivel hoist rings, End Effectors and Hi-Lo Forks.
- Physical characteristics, such as size, type and serial number if available of test item are recorded on an inspection report.
- Test item is visually inspected for elongation, wear, deformation, and missing capacity markings.
- The test item is inspected for cracks that can not be seen by the naked eye using a Magnetic Particle test
- The part is cleaned with a special cleaner.
- The part is magnetized.
- The part is sprayed with a magnetic particle spray.
- The part is inspected for cracks by a certified technician using a black light and magnetic yoke.
- The part is demagnetized and cleaned.
- Each passable test item will be tagged with a color coded inspection tag, demonstrating that it has been checked.
- Test items which do not pass inspection will be tagged with a caution tag as well as a red paint mark.
- Lastly, a computer generated report will be provided on a spreadsheet with a certificate to governing regulatory standards for all passing test items.
