Magnetic Particle Testing Level I/II

Due to its effectiveness and ease of application, Magnetic Particle Testing has become one of the most widely used nondestructive testing (NDT) methods, employed on more parts and materials than any other technique in the industry today.

Magnetic Particle Testing I & II introduces a powerful inspection method that uses electromagnetic currents to detect surface and near-surface defects in a variety of manufacturing processes. Due to its effectiveness and ease of application, Magnetic Particle Testing has become one of the most widely used nondestructive testing (NDT) methods, employed on more parts and materials than any other technique in the industry today.

In this course, we cover:

• •The history and fundamentals of Magnetic Particle Testing
• •An overview of various testing applications
• •Different types of equipment used in MPT
• •The advantages and limitations of the method
• •Identifying indications and defects
• •Proper recording and reporting of defects

Upon completing this course, students will be able to:

• •Understand the principles of different currents and magnetic fields and how they influence the detection of defects
• •Evaluate the pros and cons of Magnetic Particle Testing
• •Perform and document MPT examinations according to applicable code requirements

The course includes 16 hours of hands-on training, during which instructors will demonstrate both Yoke, Prods, Cable, & Bench techniques, with wet and dry particle applications. Students will also engage in mock-up exercises and practical exams designed to simulate real-world NDT scenarios. Upon successful completion, participants will receive 32 total hours of accredited classroom training and a Classroom Certificate, with knowledge assessed through an exam.

This course meets the requirements in accordance with SNT-TC-1A, CP189, NAS410, and outline of CP105.
