    Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) uses magnetic fields to locate discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials. An electromagnet or permanent magnet can be used to apply the magnetic field. When a discontinuity is present, it distorts the magnetic flux lines and creates its own leakage field. The exam covers MT principles, magnet types, equipment, inspection materials, techniques, calibrations, interpretation, procedures, and safety. References include guides on MT theory, handbooks, and recommended practice supplements.

    Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) Examination

    Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)


    Magnetic Particle Testing uses one or more magnetic fields to locate surface and near-surface discontinuities in
    ferromagnetic materials. The magnetic field can be applied with a permanent magnet or an electromagnet.
    When using an electromagnet, the field is present only when the current is being applied. When the magnetic
    field encounters a discontinuity transverse to the direction of the magnetic field, the flux lines produce a
    magnetic flux leakage field of their own.
