QOP 9-MT-1

Revision: 6 specimen and excess particles removed in accordance with Paragraph 11.3.

9.5 Wet Magnetic Particle: Finely divided ferromagnetic particles manufactured by Magnaflux Corporation or equivalent. The particles shall possess high permeability and low retentivity characteristics. The particles shall be treated to impart color, fluorescent or non-fluorescent, such that they provide contrast to the test specimen. The particles shall be designed for use in a suspension vehicle. Low viscosity oil or conditioned water shall be used as the suspension vehicle. The suspension vehicle shall be applied to the test specimen in accordance with Paragraph 9.6.

9.5.1 Petroleum Distillate Vehicles: Low -viscosity light petroleum distillate vehicles shall possess the following characteristics:

1. Viscosity shall not exceed 3.0 cSt (3 mm squared/s) at 100 degrees F (37 C) and 5.0 cSt (5 mm squared/s) at the lowest temperature at which the vehicle will be used.

2. Shall have a minimum flash point of 200 degrees F (93C) so as to reduce risk of fire.

3. Shall be nonfluorescent if used with fluorescent particles.

4. Shall be non-reactive so as not to degrade suspended particles.

9.5.2 Water vehicles: Water may be used as the a suspension vehicle provided a suitable conditioning agent is added as to provide proper wetting and the following characteristics exist:

1. The vehicle shall have good wetting characteristics as to provide complete coverage of test specimen without evidence of de-wetting.

QOP 9-MT-1

Revision: 6 container be drained, thoroughly cleaned and refilled with clean solution.

9.5.4 Concentration of bulk wet magnetic particle suspensions shall be checked prior to initial use by settling volume measurements and maintained on a daily basis. The concentration of suspended magnetic particles shall be checked in the following manner:

1. Allow re-circulating system to run for at least thirty minutes prior to testing the solution or shake container thoroughly to disperse particles in suspension.

2. Take a 100-ml portion of solution directly from hose or other device used to apply solution to test specimen, or from immersion tank, demagnetize and allow it to settle for 60 minutes for petroleum distillates or 30 minutes for water based solutions before reading.

3. The amount of particles settling at bottom of tube is indicative of particle concentration in the bath.

9.5.5 The concentration of the wet suspension shall be from 0.1 to 0.4-mL in a 100mL bath sample for fluorescent particles and from 1.2-mL to 2.4-mL in a 100-mL bath sample for non-fluorescent particles.

9.6 Wet magnetic particles, fluorescent or non-fluorescent, shall be applied to test specimen by spraying or flowing the solution over the area being examined.

9.7 With fluorescent particles, the examination is performed using ultraviolet light called black light. The following steps shall be taken when performing black light inspection:

1. Examination shall be performed in a darkened area.

2. The examiner shall remain in the darkened area a minimum of five minutes prior to performing the examination to enable his eyes to adapt to dark viewing.

3. The examiner shall not wear photochromic or permanently tinted lenses.

4. The black light shall be allowed to warm up for a minimum of five minutes prior to use or measurement of ultraviolet light intensity emitted.

Warm up minimum not required when LED ultraviolet light is used for examination.

5. The black light intensity at the surface of the test specimen shall be measured prior to use, at least once every eight hours, whenever the light power source is changed or interrupted, and upon completion of inspections.

6. A black light meter shall be used to measure black light intensity.

7. The black light intensity at the surface of the test specimen shall be a minimum of 1000 micro W/cm squared.

Revision: 6

10.0 Temperature Of Test Specimen:

10.1 For Dry Magnetic Particle examination, the surface of the test specimen shall not exceed 600 degrees F (315C).

10.2 For Wet Magnetic Particle examination, the surface of the test specimen shall not exceed 135 degrees F (57C).

11.0 Sequence Of Operations:

11.1 Magnetic Particle Inspection shall be performed by the continuous method;

that is, the magnetizing current shall remain on while the test medium is being applied.

11.2 Direct or Indirect magnetization shall be used. Where the direct contact method is used, the magnetizing current is passed directly through the part creating a circular field within the part. Where the indirect method is used, a magnetic field is induced into the part creating a circular, longitudinal, or multidirectional magnetic field within the part.

11.3 Dry Continuous Technique: The flow of magnetic current shall be initiated prior to application of dry magnetic particles and terminated only after the application of powder has been completed and the excess powder has been removed. Dry magnetic powder shall be applied by means of a hand powder applicator in such a manner that a light, uniform, dust-like coating settles on the surface under test.

Excess particles shall be removed by means of dry air of sufficient force to remove the excess particles without disturbing those that are indicative of discontinuities.

Excess particles shall be removed by using a hand-actuated rubber bulb or specially designed applicator.

11.4 Wet Continuous Technique: Wet magnetic particles, fluorescent or non-fluorescent, shall meet requirements or Paragraph 9.5 and be applied to test specimen in accordance with Paragraph 9.6. The flow of magnetic current shall be initiated prior to application of wet magnetic particles and terminated only after the application of solution has been completed and the excess flow of solution has subsided.

11.5 Magnetic Field Adequacy: When it is necessary to verify magnetic field strength adequacy, a pie shaped magnetic field indicator shall be used. The indicator shall be positioned on test specimen so that the copper- plated side is away from surface of test specimen. When magnetic particles are applied simultaneously with the magnetizing force, a clearly defined line (or lines) of magnetic particles forming across the copper face of the indicator shall be considered evidence of suitable field
