Magnetic Testing

Acuren has over 900 experienced Level II and Level III MT technicians dedicated to providing accurate, cost-effective results to our customers. Our teams are experienced in both field work and in-lab parts inspections in our nondestructive testing and materials engineering labs located across North America. MT is an effective method for revealing surface and near surface cracks or defects in a wide variety of manufactured materials and components including castings, forgings and weldments.

Acuren’s MT provides fast, cost-effective, reliable evaluation of surface defects.

Magnetic particle inspection has many uses both in the lab and in the field and is effective for:

• Final inspection
• Receiving inspection
• In-process inspection and quality control
• Maintenance and overhaul in the transportation industries
• Plant and machinery maintenance
• Inspection of large components

Magnetic particle testing advantages:

• Can detect both surface and near subsurface indications
• Can inspect large and irregular shapes easily
• Surface preparation not as critical
• Indications are immediately visible directly on the specimen surface
• Inexpensive compared to many other NDT techniques
• Portable inspection especially when used with battery powered equipment
• Quick and relatively uncomplicated
• Is adapted for site or workshop use
• Training is less stringent than for UT, RT or ET
