MAGNETIC PARTICLE INSPECTION SERVICES

PWHT Solutions provides Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) for ferromagnetic components such as carbon steel welds, castings, forgings, and lifting equipment. This non-destructive testing method helps detect surface and near-surface discontinuities that may not be visible during a visual inspection.

During the inspection, the component is magnetized and magnetic particles are applied to the test area. Where a discontinuity interrupts the magnetic field, the particles form a visible indication for the inspector to evaluate. The technique and acceptance criteria are selected according to the component, material, and agreed inspection requirements.

Our MPI Services Include

Inspection of welds and heat-affected zones

Examination of steel castings and forgings

Inspection of crane hooks, lifting components, and other ferromagnetic parts

Checks during fabrication, maintenance, and repair

Inspection using visible or fluorescent particles, as specified

Evaluation and reporting of relevant indications

Reinspection after repairs where required
