Magnetic particle procedure amperages should be verified in one or
more ofthe following ways to ensure the applied magnetic fields
are of suficient strength to detect discontinuities:
|. Perform the procedure on atest part with known discontinuities
(same typ, size and location).
2. Measure tangent magnetic field using a Hall effect probe
{gaussmeter. The tangential field strength shall be inthe range of|
530.60 G (Gauss)
3. Utilize formulas on page 1
4. Perform the procedure with qualitative quality indicators,
