However, surface preparation by grinding or machining may be necessary where surface irregularities could mask indications due to discontinuities. Particular surface preparations may be required by the drawing. With the exception of incomplete welds, all surfaces being tested shall be the finished surfaces. If any metal is removed by grinding, machining or any other method subsequent to the magnetic particle examination, the entire surfaces areas so affected shall be re- inspected Prior to magnetic particle examination the surface to be examined and all adjacent areas within at least 4 in (25.4 mm) shall be dry and free of all dirt, grease, lint, scale, welding flux and spatter, oil or other extraneous matter that could interfere with the examination. Cleaning may be accomplished using detergents, organic solvents, descaling solutions, paint removers, vapour degreasing, sand or grit blasting When nonmagnetic coatings are applied temporarity to uncoated surfaces only in amounts sufficient to enhance particle contrast, it shall be demonstrated that indications can be detected through the enhancement coating. 6°/ EXAMINATION MEDIUM The examination medium may be dry, wet and fluorescent ferro-magnetic particles, The dry and wet ferromagnetic particles, including wet particle suspension vehicles and particle concentrations shall be in accordance with ASME SE-709, Dry particles shall be used within the temperature range limitations set by the manufacturer, Wet particles shall be used within the temperature range limitations set by the manufacturer. ‘documenta mnt cde DELATTRE LEVIVIER MAROC Wet nme ede vce ce ance Gosenel a Lana Ge de DIAL a ; PR-CND-03 C sez |MAGNETIC PARTICLE EXAMINATION| = 7727 Sof ll - Low viscosity oil, as Kerosene petroleum hydrocarbon, are preferred as suspension vehicles, - For non-fluorescent particles the recommended setting volume is from 1,2 to 2,4 ml per 100ml vehicles and from 0,1 to 0,5 ml in a 100 ml for fluorescent particles unless otherwise specified by the particle manufacturer, If fluorescent particles are used the examination is performed using an ultraviolet light, called black light. The examination shall be performed as follows. a/ it shall be performed in a darkened area, b/ the examiner shall be in the darkened area for at least 5 mm prior to performing the examination to enable his eyes to adapt to dark viewing. If the examiner wears glasses or lenses, they shall not be photosensiti c/ the black light shall be allowed to warm up for a minimum of 5mm prior to use or measurement of the intensity of the ultraviolet light emitted. di the black light intensity shall be measured with a black light meter. A minimum of 1000 micro Wicm2 on the surface of the part being examined shall be required. The black light intensity shall be measured at least once every 8 hr, and whenever the work station is changed. The following ferromagnetic particles or equivalent ones may be used : Type of powder Color Manufacturer al Gray Dry particles NP3A Black Magnaflux N°8A Red. Non fluorescent wet N°7C Black particles Ne9C Red Magnaflux. ‘Non fluorescent wet particles Magnaglo Magnaflux 7°] MAGNETIZING FIELD ADEQUACY AND DIRECTION When it is necessary to verify the adequacy or direction of the magnetizing field, the magnetic particle field indicator described in Fig. T-764.1.1 of ASME Code Sect. V shall be used by positioning the indicator on the surface to be examined, When using this indicator, a suitable flux or field strength is indicated when a clearly defined line of magnetic particle forms across the copper face of the indicator when the magnetic particles are applied simultaneously with the magnetizing force, When a clearly defined line of particles is not formed or is not formed in the desired direction, the magnetizing technique shall be changed or adjusted. 8°/ DEMAGNETIZATION When residual magnetism in the part could interfere with subsequent processing or usage, the part shall be demagnetized any time after completion of the examination, ‘C dosumsn rs unas de DELATIRE LEVIVIER MAROC 0 ext omens ic de eae od ier ce document anton te de DUM, : PR-CND-03 C zawaz: |MAGNETIC PARTICLE EXAMINATION) = 777007 6of tl The demagnetisation will be performed in accordance with any applicable method Tecalled in ASME SE-709. 9°/ TECHNIQUE REQUIREMENTS Direction of magnetisation, At least two separate examinations shall be performed on each area. During the second examination, the lines of magnetic flux shall be approximately perpendicular to those used during the first examination. A different technique for magnetization may be used for the second examination. Examination Coverage. Examination shall be conducted with sufficient overlap to assure 100 percent coverage at the established test sensitivity of para 6. Prod methods may be used only before final post weld heat treatment of the welds or materials. After post weld heat treatment joke method shall be used. Grid pattern. Same grid pattern for welds and materials examination are in fig. 1 to 5. During the dry powder removal by air blowing, the magnetizing flux shall be maintained. The wet powder shall be applied by spraying or flowing over the surface, while the magnetic flux is maintained. 10°/ MAGNETISING CURENT Yoke technique This method shall only be applied to detect discontinuities that are open to the surface of the part. For this technique alternating or direct current electromagnetic yokes, or permanent magnet yokes, shall be used. Lifting Power of Yokes. al Prior to use the magnetizing power of electromagnetic yokes shall have been checked within the past year. The magnetizing power of permanent magnetic yokes shall be checked daily prior to use. The magnetizing power of all yokes shall be checked whenever the yoke has been damaged or repaired. by Each altemating current electromagnetic yoke shall have a lifting power of at least 10 Ib (4.5 Kg) at the maximum pole spacing that will be used. documents enon DELATIRE LEVIVIER MAROC Ie onaelken net de epson fsa ce Comet ea Cavin Ge de DUM, PR-CND-03 C MAGNETIC PARTICLE EXAMINATION] 77787" Tofil c/ Each direct current or permanent magnetic yoke shall have a lifting power of at least 40 Ib (18.1 Kg) at the maximum pole spacing that will be used. J Each weight shall be weighed with a scale from a reputable manufacturer and stenciled with the applicable nominal weight prior at first use. A weight need only be verified again if damaged in a manner that could have caused potential loss of material. 11°/ EVALUATION OF INDICATIONS, All the indications shall be evaluated according to the followings. The light intensity during the examination of non fluorescent methods shall be at least 1 000 Lux. Any indication which is believed to be nonrelevant shall be regarded as a defect and shall be re-examined to verity whether or not actual defects are present. Surface conditioning may precede the re-examination. Nonrelevant indications which would mask indications of defects are unacceptable. Limitely to the welds, after an indication has been verified to be nonrelevant, it is necessary to reinvestigate nonrelevant indications of the same type. Mechanical discontinuities at the surface will be indicated by the retention of the examination medium. All indications are not necessarily defects, however, since certain metallurgical discontinuities and magnetic permeability variations may produce similar indications which are not relevant to the detection of unacceptable discontinuities Relevant indications are those which result from unacceptable mechanical discontinuities. Linear indications are those indications in which the length is more than 3 times the width. Rounded indications are indications which are circular or elliptical with the length less than 3 times the width. An indication for a discontinuity may be larger than the discontinuity that causes it; however the size of the indication and note the size of the discontinuity is the basis of acceptance or rejection. Broad areas of particle accumulation which could mask indications of discontinuities are unacceptable and those areas shall be cleaned and re-examined. Defects to be repaired shall be recorder on a sketch showing type, dimensions and location. 12° ACCEPTANCE STANDARDS Only indications with major dimensions greater than 1.6 mm (1/16") shall be considered relevant imperfections. ‘Gi dua ea oni de DELATIRE LEXIVIER MAROC I st malls ni eos de ile document sas Canora Gre DIM PR-CND-03 C MAGNETIC PARTICLE EXAMINATION| 7777 Sof ll Any questionable or doubtful indications shall be re-examined to determine whether they are relevant.
