What is Magnaglo inspection?
Magnetic particle (Magnaflux Inspection) inspection is a method for detecting cracks, laps, seams, voids, pits, subsurface holes, and other surface, or slightly subsurface, discontinuities in ferro-magnetic materials. Magnetic particle inspection can be used only on ferro-magnetic materials (iron and steel).
What is Magnaflux test?
A magna flux test is a non-destructive testing (NDT) process for detecting surface, and subsurface, discontinuities in materials such as: iron, nickel, cobalt, and some of their alloys.
What is Wfmt inspection?
MT of welds has conventionally meant wet-method fluorescent magnetic particle testing (WFMT). WFMT is a most effective means of locating and clearly defining the size and shape of cracks or discontinuities, especially those open to the surface of a ferromagnetic object.
What is the process of Magnaflux?
When a part is placed in a Magnaflux® Unit inside a coil carrying electric current, a magnetic field running lengthwise of the part is created. This is Longitudinal Magnetization. In Inspection Longitudinal Magnetization is Used to Detect Transverse (crosswise) Cracks.
What is Magnaflux crack detection?
The Magnaflux process utilizes an electrical current to produce magnetism in the part being checked, a solution containing iron powder is flowed over the part. The components having been magnetized will draw the iron powder to the void area “crack” . Utilizing the ultraviolet black light clearly shows the flow “crack”.
What is Acfm inspection?
Alternating current field measurement (ACFM) is an electromagnetic inspection technique that introduces an alternating current into the surface of a component to detect surface-breaking cracks. With ACFM’s lower cleaning requirements and fewer false calls, inspections are significantly shorter, saving customers money.
What is Wfmpi?
The conventional method for detecting wet H2S cracking is Wet Fluorescent Magnetic Particle Inspection (WFMPI) which is able to detect sub-surface cracks in the steel caused by HIC.
What is phased array NDT?
Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT), also known as phased array UT, is an advanced non-destructive inspection technique that uses a set of ultrasonic testing (UT) probes made up of numerous small elements.
How much does it cost to Magnaflux a block?
The hot tank, pressure testing, and the Magnaflux test cost about $105 to $130. If the mains need to be align-honed (bored), add $180. Decking the block runs about $180.
What is the difference between ACFM and SCFM?
Actual cubic feet per minute (ACFM) is a unit of volumetric flow. If the system were moving air at exactly the “standard” condition, then ACFM would equal Standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM). However, this usually is not the case as the most important change between these two definitions is the pressure.
What is ACFM used for?
Alternating current field measurement (ACFM) is an electromagnetic technique used for the detection and sizing of surface breaking cracks in metallic components and welds.
