Magnetic Particle Inspection Course

About Magnetic Particle Testing

Magnetic Particle inspection is a Non Destructive Testing method for the detection of surface or near surface flaws in ferromagnetic materials such as steel and iron. Detection of these flaws is achieved by establishing a suitable magnetic field in the test article, applying magnetic particles to the surface which collects at the site of the flux leakage. Magnetic Particle Testing is conducted in a range of industrial applications, with portable and non-portable systems.

While not essential, as the course notes do cover all required areas, reading some of the below literature might help provide additional knowledge, and are generally available in reference libraries:

  • Basic Metallurgy for Non-Destructive Testing, Edited by J L Taylor. The British Institute of Non- Destructive Testing

  • Classroom Training Handbook CT-6-3, Magnetic particle testing - General Dynamics, Convair Division.

  • Electrical, Magnetic and Visual Methods of Testing Materials . JBlitz, W.G. King and D.G.Rogers, Butterworth

See our knowledge section to try examples of the typical question and problems that you will encounter during the course.
