One of the more used types of methods and possibly the most familiar way to conduct surface flaw detection is Magnetic Particle Testing. Proscan NDT makes use of portable equipment to conduct this surface inspection method on components of any size and shape or formed by any process.
Types of industries we apply this testing method to is Fabrication and Welding, Hydraulics, Transmission, Pressure Vessels, Mining Equipment, Pipelines and also any type of engineering components. Visible contrast as well as Fluorescent techniques is applied using wet particle suspension magnetic inks together with application of alternating current to locate surface or near surface discontinuities. When depth needs to be measured from surface into a material we make use of Ultrasonic Testing for accuracy thereof. Only important factor with this method is that the surface areas to be examined needs to be adequately prepared for proper results.
