3. PERSONNEL
Personnel performing testing shall be suitably trained and qualified to ASNT, SNT-
TC-1A, ISO 9712 or other recognized national standard or certification schemes
(e.g. CSWIP or PCN). Only personnel qualified to level II or III shall carry out the
interpretation and evaluation of test results.
4. EQUIPMENT
Magnetization shall be induced by an AC/DC electromagnetic yoke or a permanent
magnet yoke having adjustable pole pieces.
Equipment type: Magnaflux-Y6, Kyung Do MP-A2L, Parker B100S, Western WC-

6K, YM5 or other equivalent equipment may be substituted.
A lifting power of at least 4.5 kg for the AC yokes and 18 kg for the permanent or
DC magnetic yokes at the maximum pole spacing shall be required. The
magnetizing (lifting) power of yokes shall be verified prior to use each day the yoke
is used or whenever the yoke has been damaged or malfunction is suspected. The
results of these verifications shall be recorded on the Magnetic Yoke Test Log (see
Exhibit 1)
The permanent magnetic yoke should only be used when a power supply is not
available or the working environment does not permit hot work.
For field strength assessment, a Burmah Castrol Flux Indicator or Pie-Shaped

Magnetic Particle Field Indicator shall be used.
Calibration procedure for yoke:
a) Visual check the yoke for any physical damage, cracking of casing, wire
connections
b) Lifting power check:
- Adjust maximum spacing of poles from 100 mm to 200 mm depend on each

yoke type
- Lifting power of yoke is accepted if yoke should be capable of lifting a

standard weight steel block as below:
 For AC electromagnetic yoke: a weight steel block of at least 4.5 kg
 For DC electromagnetic & permanent magnet yoke: a weight steel block of

at least 18 kg

Rev. No. : A
c) Value of poles spacing shall be recorded.
5. DETECTING MEDIUM
Either water or paraffin based magnetic ink, which meets the requirements of ASME
SE-709 / ASTM E709 shall be used. The particle concentration of mixed ink at site
from bulk shall be verified in accordance with section 5.1. The particle concentration
of pre-mixed ink (usually aerosol cans) will be verified by certificate from the
manufacture. The color of magnetic particles shall be chosen so that a high contrast
shall be provided on a white background.
Temperature limitations: the magnetic particles shall be used within temperature

limits set by the manufacturer. Under normal conditions, the wet particles shall only
be used for temperature range from 10oC to 50oC and the dry particle method shall
be applied for temperature over 50oC.
Manufacturer and type of magnetic particles: Nabakem - SM-15 black (aerosol

spray cans) or Magnaflux - 7C black (mixed ink from bulk) for wet method and
Magnaflux - Grey or 8A Red Power for dry method or other equivalent materials.
5.1. Quality control of magnetic ink at site from bulk

a) Particle concentration check
For each new batch of mixed ink from bulk, the particle concentration shall
be checked as follow:
 The ink shall be thoroughly agitated.
 A 100 ml sample shall be transferred to a Pear-shaped centrifuge tube.
 The sample shall be allowed to settle under gravity only for

approximately 60 minutes with petroleum distillate suspensions or 30
minutes with water-based suspensions before reading. The batch shall
be considered acceptable when the solid’s concentration is within 1.2%
- 2.4% by volume.
b) Break Test
Prior to the initial usage of each new batch of water based mixed ink from
bulk, a break test to check for adequate wetting properties shall be carried
out as follow:
 Prepare a test piece having the finish surface similar to subject to be

tested and apply a thin layer of contrast paint.
 Apply sample of the newly mixed ink to the surface of the test piece.

Rev. No. : A
 The ink should flow evenly over the surface. If the ink collects in
globules on the surface then it shall be rejected.
Particle concentration check and break test shall be repeated on a daily basis
and the result recorded on the Magnetic Ink Test Log (see Exhibit 2)
5.2. Application of detecting medium

The magnetic inks shall be applied by spraying over the test surface
5.3. Method of removing excess particle

The excess particles shall be removed from the test surface by means of an
air blower with active magnetic current.
6. CONTRAST LACQUER
In order to improve contrast, a thin layer of a proprietary brand of rapid drying high
opacity white contrast, nonmagnetic lacquer shall be applied. The lacquer must
adhere firmly to the test surface and not be soluble in the detection medium.
7. SURFACE PREPARATION
The surface to be tested and all adjacent areas within at least 1 inch (25 mm) which
are subjects to magnetic particle testing shall be clean and free from paint, oil
grease, heavy scale or corrosion deposits and any other extraneous matter which
could interfere with the test. In most cases adequate surface cleaning will be
achieved by means of a wire brush. Surfaces may also be prepared by solvent
cleaning, grit blasting or a combination of these methods.
Welds will normally be tested in the as welded condition however where there is
reasonable cause to suspect the presence of defects it may be necessary to
prepare the surface by grinding.
After cleaning, a thin layer of white contrast lacquer shall be applied.
8. LIGHTING
A minimum white light intensity of 1000 Lux (100 fc) at the test surface is required
during the examination and evaluation of indications. The light intensity, natural or
supplemental white light source (such as LED or fluorescent bulb), shall be
measured with a white light meter prior to the evaluation of indications or a verified
light source shall be used. Verification of light sources is required to be
demonstrated only one time, documented, and maintained on file.

Rev. No. : A
Light meters shall be calibrated at least once a year or whenever the light meter has
been repaired. If meters have not been in use for one year or more, calibration shall
be done before being used.
9. TEST PROCEDURE
 The magnetic field and magnetic particle ink shall be applied as below:
 Wet Particles: The magnetizing current shall be turned on after the particles
have been applied. Flow of particles shall stop with the application of
current. Wet particles applied from aerosol spray cans may be applied
before and/or after magnetizing current is applied. Wet particles may be
applied during the application of magnetizing current if they are not applied
directly to the examination area and are allowed to flow over the
examination area or are applied directly to the examination area with low
velocities insufficient to remove accumulated particles.
 Dry Particles: The magnetizing current shall remain on while the

examination medium is being applied and while any excess of the
examination medium is removed.
 The magnetic field shall be removed after the termination of MPI ink application.
 All tested areas shall be examined at least twice. For the second test the
magnetic field shall be orientated perpendicular to the first test. The magnetized
area shall be considered to be not larger than a circle described through the
contact points with a poles spacing of maximum 200 mm.
10. INSPECTION
 Inspection shall commence immediately the detecting medium has been applied
and shall continue during and for a short time after the application of the
magnetic field
 All tested areas shall be magnetized in a minimum of two mutually

perpendicular directions. See technique sheets for detail (Appendix 1)
11. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

The acceptance criteria shall be applied as following:
- For structural welds of carbon steel: shall satisfy the following criteria
i. The weld is to have no cracks, tears, or lack of fusion.
ii. For undercut shall comply to AWS D1.1 as below:

Rev. No. : A
 Nontubular connections: shall be in accordance with AWS D1.1 section

6 table 6.1 Item “Statically Loaded”, Row 7(A)
 Tubular connections: shall be in accordance with AWS D1.1 section 9

table 9.16, Row 7(B)
iii. The sum of diameters of piping or porosity is not to exceed 10mm in any
linear 25mm of weld and 20mm in any 300mm length of weld.
iv. The maximum length of a single defect is to be less than 2/3 of the effective
throat of the weld up to a maximum of 20mm.
v. The defect is to be further than three times the larger of its own width or
length from the end of the weld or from an adjacent defect.
vi. Any indication which is believed to be spurious is to be regarded as a defect

unless on revaluation by the same method or by an alternative technique
subsequent to surface dressing the indication has been removed.
vii. Any defects which appear to be subsurface are to be exposed by surface

grinding to display their nature, full size and shape.
- For process piping welds: shall be in accordance with ASME B31.3 paragraph
344.3.2
Acceptance criteria are summarized in Appendix 2 of this procedure
12. REPORT
The test results shall be reported on a “Magnetic Particle Testing Report” form (see
Exhibit 3). The report shall identify batch numbers of material used.
13. POST EXAMINATION CLEANING

Where post examination cleaning is required it should be conducted as soon as
practical by wiping with cloth or a wire brush
14. DEMAGNETIZATION
Where residual magnetism in part could interfere with subsequent processing or
usage, the part shall be demagnetized any time after completion of examination.
Demagnetization shall be conducted by using AC Yoke with induced current while
yoke is being moved away from the test object.
In the scope of this procedure generally no residual magnetism shall be retained in

the part due to the advantage of usage of magnetic field induced by AC current
yoke.
