About Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)

Magnetic Particle Testing uses one or more magnetic fields to locate surface and near-surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials. The magnetic field can be applied with a permanent magnet or an electromagnet. When using an electromagnet, the field is present only when the current is being applied. When the magnetic field encounters a discontinuity transverse to the direction of the magnetic field, the flux lines produce a magnetic flux leakage field of their own.

About Liquid Penetrant Testing

Liquid penetrant testing is capable of revealing only those discontinuities which are open to the surface. Liquid Penetrant is an improvement over visual inspection. Penetrant testing increases the sensitivity of flaw detection by highlighting a discontinuity for easier visual detection. The discontinuity is magnified in size by an indication produced on the surface being examined as a direct result of the test. Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT) is the most widely used NDT inspection method. It is very inexpensive, does not require an extraordinary amount of training, and is more sensitive than a visual inspection alone.

About Radiographic Testing (RT)

Industrial radiography involves exposing a test object to penetrating radiation so that the radiation passes through the object being inspected and a recording medium placed against the opposite side of that object. For thinner or less dense materials such as aluminum, electrically generated x-radiation (X-rays) are commonly used, and for thicker or denser materials, gamma radiation is generally used.

About Ultrasonic Testing (UT)

Ultrasonic testing uses the same principle as is used in naval SONAR and fish finders. Ultra-high frequency sound is introduced into the part being inspected and if the sound hits a material with a different acoustic impedance (density and acoustic velocity), some of the sound will reflect back to the sending unit and can be presented on a visual display. By knowing the speed of the sound through the part (the acoustic velocity) and the time required for the sound to return to the sending unit, the distance to the reflector (the indication with the different acoustic impedance) can be determined.
