Work Instructions for Magnetic Particle Crack testing

1. Start power pack using main switch.

2. Put the black light on. It takes 5 mins to lit the bulb with full intensity.
3. Wash the jobs with diesel before MPI.
4. Make the oil bath. Use 1 mg of magnaflux powder to 1 litre of crack testing oil.
5. To check the concentration of magnetic particles use centrifuge tube. Pour Oil
bath
Upto level 100ml. Allow 60 minutes to settle. The volume of settled particles
should
Be 0.1 – 0.4ml/ 100ml
6. Use HWDC current according to dia of job.
Dia of job Current
1-6 mm 250-300 amp
7-12 mm 300-400 amp
13-18 mm 500-600 amp
19-25 mm 600-800 amp
Above 25 mm 800 amp
7. Pass current using head shot , to mount hollow jobs use copper rod.
8. After passing current through the jobs , use handhose to pour oil bath.
9. Use pie indicator to check magnetic field adequacy. Position the pie indicator on
the jobs such that the copper plated side is away from job surface. The field
strength is sufficient if the pie indicator shows clearly defined lines. Otherwise
repeat headshot.
10. Check the jobs under black light.
11. Remove crack jobs aside. Then use coil shot method and repeat the process.
12. Demagnet ok jobs. Use gauss meter to check residual magnetism. It should be
less than 3 gauss.
