At KLASIC Oil Inspection Services Limited, MT is used as part of our conventional NDT capability to support weld inspection, component examination, fabrication quality control and in-service inspection.

HOW MT WORKS

The component is magnetized and magnetic particles are applied to the inspection area. Where a suitable discontinuity interrupts the magnetic field, particles accumulate around the indication, making the discontinuity detectable.

This makes MT particularly effective for identifying cracks and other discontinuities that may be difficult to identify through ordinary visual examination.

APPLICATIONS

MT can be used for the examination of:

• Welds
• Structural components
• Forgings
• Machinery components
• Lifting equipment
• Pressure equipment
• Shafts and pins
• Fabricated components
• Ferromagnetic piping components

DEFECTS THAT MAY BE DETECTED

Depending on the application, MT may identify:

• Surface cracks
• Near-surface cracks
• Lack of fusion at accessible areas
• Seams
• Laps
• Other relevant surface and near-surface discontinuities

WHEN MT IS USED

MT is commonly applied during:

• Fabrication
• Welding inspection
• Maintenance
• Repair verification
• Shutdowns and turnarounds
• In-service inspections
• Critical component examinations

WHY KLASIC?

Our MT services are performed using appropriate inspection procedures and equipment, with results documented and reported according to the defined inspection requirements.

Where the material or inspection objective is unsuitable for MT, we can recommend an alternative NDT method such as PT, UT or other appropriate techniques.
