Magnetic particle inspection (MPI)

Magnetic particle inspection (MPI) is a nondestructive testing (NDT) method that does not harm the inspected parts. MPI is a cost-effective and reliable testing method commonly used to identify surface and slightly subsurface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials.

In this brochure we cover:

  • The Importance of Magnetic Particle Inspection
  • Determining Inspection Method
  • Determining Application Method
  • Common Applications
  • Common Terms
  • Method Process Guide

Does Magnetic Particle Size Matter?

Breaking down the definitions of particle, micron, and the debate if magnetic particle size has an effect in magnetic particle inspection.

What is a fluorescent magnetic particle?

A fluorescent magnetic particle is a mixture of three elements in which each component serves a particular purpose:

  1. Iron: provides ferrous material to force particle movement when electrically charged by magnetic fields
  2. Fluorescent pigment: what glows brightly underneath ultraviolet lights
  3. Resin: binds these two materials together and keeps them from breaking apart over time, ensuring that fluorescent material does not leak into the bath and cause excess background.
