    Specification for Magnetic Particle used in Magnetic Particle Examination

    1. SCOPE
    This specification covers the requirements of magnetic particles used for detection of surface and
    slightly sub surface discontinuities in ferro-magnetic materials. These particles are intended to be
    used for detection of cracks, laps, seams, inclusions in raw materials, semi-finished and finished
    products.
    2. CLASSIFICATION
    The particles covered by this specification are of two types :
    i) Non - Fluorescent - for dry and wet methods
    ii) Fluorescent - for wet method only

    3. LIGHTING INTENSITIES
    While testing with non -fluorescent particles the intensity of the visible light at surface of the parts
    undergoing inspection shall be 1000 lux (100ft.candles) minimum.
    While testing with fluorescent particles, the area of viewing shall be darkened and maximum
    ambient visible light shall be 20 lux (2ft.candles).
    The black light intensity at the examination surface shall be 1000µW/cm2 minimum. For portable
    black light source, the intensity shall be minimum 1000µW/cm2 at 38 cm from the source.
    4. MATERIALS
    The particles used shall be finely divided ferromagnetic materials suitably treated to facilitate
    visibility. Non -fluorescent particles may be colored for use where as fluorescent particles shall be
    coated with materials glowing under black light.

    The particles shall be designed for use as a free flowing dry powder or for suspendable application
    in suitable liquid or polymerizable material.

    The particles shall be designed to have a high magnetic permeability and a low retentivity. The
    particle shall be consistent in respect of size, shape, and material quality for better results. The
    particle shall be non- porous and free from rust, grease, paint, dirt and other deleterious materials.

    petroleum distillate or suitably conditioned water.

    7. PARTICLE CONCENTRATION- Particle concentration for fluorescent particles shall be in


    the range of 0.1- 0.4 ml. in 100 ml. bath sample and 1.2-2.4ml. in 100 ml bath sample for non-
    fluorescent particles.
    8. pH VALUE - When water is used as a suspension vehicle, the wetting agents shall be non ionic
    and the pH value of the specimen shall be within 6-10. The conditioning agent should contain anti
    - foaming and corrosion inhibiting additives.
