Butt weld on Plate


Dimension: 250x150x8
Area tested: Weldments and HAZ area both side the weld 25mm distance.
5.Test Conditions:
-Pretest parathion of the test area: The inspection surface shall be clean and free from paint, oil grease,
heavy scale or corrosion deposits and any other extraneous matter which could interfere with the test.
-Pre-cleaning: Using solvent cleaning by spraying direct over the test surface.
-Pre-test Calibration check:
Valid detail of chemical can
Check the batch certificate and MSDS data sheet
Check lighting level-minimum 1000lux
Ambient temperature
Conduct lifting test using 4,5kg block
Confirm the field direction using pipe gauge.
-Post-test cleaning: Using solvent cleaner remove all the testing material and making from the tested
surface, apply a thin layer oil to prevent component.
6.Detail of Instruction
Solvent cleans the weld cap and 25mm at least of parent material each side
Carry out close visual inspection making note of any defect or irregularities
Apply a thin layer of white contrast paint on test surface and wait for dries
Set the pole spacing at 150mm and adjust the pole for good contact. Place pipe gauge between poles at
90o to expected field direction. Magnetize whist applying ink.
Test area is to be magnetized in 2 directions mutually 90o using pole spacing of 100 to 150 mm. Place
Yoke across the weld that the poles at position 1and 4 (see sketch)
Magnetize whist applying MPI ink between the poles.
Inspection and Evaluation of indications take place while magnetic field is being applied.
Place Yoke across the weld that the poles at position 2 position 3 so that the magnetic field is
perpendiculars that of step 4 above. Repeat steps above util all area testing to be tested.

7.Recording and classifying result:
All relevant indication with exceed 5mm in length shall be evaluated.
Datum point, position, orientation, type defect shall be identified.
8.Reporting the result:
Result of MT examination shall be record on a Magnetic Particle Examination Report form.
A sketch chart or maker-up drawing shall be showing enough detail indication
