Here are the corrections:

1. Both clean prod tips have less chance of arcing and the increase in resistance with dirty
prods reduces the current output
2. Use a magnetic leech attachment to one prod with the other in one hand and the
detecting medium in the other
3. Magnetisation
4. Apply current whilst part is immersed in wet ink followed by removal whilst current
still flows
5. Annealing
6. A vectored field which will detect both transverse and longitudinal faults
7. Rough as cast
8. There is the possibility of a pre-existing field which will cause an actual magnetic field
within the tested material in an unfavourable direction and the pre-existing field may
nullify the applied field
9. Inside surface of tube

masking certain areas could be correct
