MPI of weld procedures in accordance BS EN ISO 17638 Magnetic Particle Non Destructive Testing (known as MPI or MT) is sometimes specified in addition to visual examination on welds. Magnetic Particle Inspection is used to find any imperfections that may not be immediately visible to the naked eye or where a small amount of assisted magnification is used. office@surecheckndt.co.uk 01543462696 #ndttesting #ndt #ndtservices #pmitesting #ndttechnician #ndtinspector #certifiedweldinspector #weldinspection #uttesting #xray #xraytest #ultrasound #radiographic #dpitesting #PMItesting #visualweldinspection #mpitesting

𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐲 𝐔𝐥𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐋𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 While phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) offers numerous advantages for weld inspection, there are also some limitations and challenges associated with its use. These include: 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: PAUT requires a higher level of technical expertise and training compared to conventional ultrasonic testing methods. The setup, configuration, and interpretation of the data require a skilled operator with specialized knowledge. Adequate training and ongoing competency assessment of the operator are essential to ensure reliable and accurate inspections. 𝐋𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞: The size and configuration of the phased array probe may limit the inspection coverage area. In some cases, it may be challenging to access certain areas of the weld joint due to geometric constraints or limited probe maneuverability. This can be especially relevant for complex joint geometries or welds in confined spaces.

Using digital radiography, various defects in welded joints can be detected. Some of the most common defects that can be identified using digital radiography include: 1. Porosity: Inclusions of gases or other substances present in the welded joint. 2. Cracks: Linear defects that can occur due to stresses or improper welding processes. 3. Inclusions: Particles of foreign materials that have entered the welded joint. 4. Incomplete weld penetration: Areas where the weld metal did not completely fill the weld volume. 5. Internal and external lack of fusion: Non-uniform melting of metal during welding, which can degrade the joint strength. 6. Heat-affected zone regions: Areas near the welding zone that may undergo changes due to thermal effects. Digital radiography provides the opportunity to more accurately detect these defects and analyze their impact on the quality of the welded joint. Contact us today for your DRT complex quotation!

𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗠𝗣𝗜) (1/5) 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI), is a non-destructive testing method used to detect surface and near-surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials, including welds. It is commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, construction, and maintenance to ensure the integrity of welded components. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀: 1- 𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: The first step is to magnetize the area being inspected. This can be done by either using a permanent magnet or by passing an electric current through the material. The magnetic field created should be oriented perpendicular to the expected discontinuities.
