(2) Apply the fluorescent magnetic particles to the weld. Immediately energize the yoke with alternating current for
approximately one second.
(3) Examine each weld for cracks parallel and perpendicular to the weld direction.
(4) Do the inspection for each weld on the truss and ring assembly.
(5) Demagnetize the area with a maximum alternating current.
(a) Make sure the maximum remaining magnetic field is not more than two Gauss, as measured with the magnetic field
indicator.
(6) Clean the truss and ring assembly.
