This course is designed to provide participants the theory lectures and practical training with a preliminary understanding of Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) as per the ASNT Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A for Personnel Qualification and Certification in Nondestructive Testing.
The course is designed to provide delegates with a detailed and up-to-date overview on magnetic particle testing. It covers the principles and theory of magnetic particle testing; magnets and magnetism; direct current, direct pulsating current and alternating current of flux fields; the effects of discontinuities on materials including design factors and the relationship to load-carrying ability; and magnetization by means of electric current using circular techniques and longitudinal technique.
Participants will be able to select the proper methods of magnetization; apply demagnetization procedures; and list the various types of equipment such as portable, stationary, automatic, multidirectional units, liquids and powders, ultraviolet radiation type and light-sensitive instruments.
Further, participants will be able to assess the types of discontinuities in casting, ingots, wrought sections, parts and welds; and implement systematic evaluation techniques using various standards and defect appraisal as well as quality control of equipment and processes.
Sample Questions for general examinations are presented in the separate question booklets that can be obtained from ASNT International Service Center. Participants will further demonstrate familiarity with and ability to operate the necessary equipment for MT, record and analyse the resultant information to the degree required as well as test flawed specimen and component and analyse the results of NDT as part of the practical training.
At the completion of the course, participants will be appearing for a Level II exam. Each candidate will be a ‘Certified ASNT NDT Level II in Magnetic Particle Testing’ upon successfully passing the examination with a minimum passing composite grade of at least 80 percent (%) which will be administered and graded by Haward Technology through its Certified ASNT Level-III instructors.
