6. PROCEDURE

 This procedure shall be demonstrated prior to use in accordance with the


requirements of T-150, ASME Code Sec. V.
 The procedure qualification record shall be attached to this procedure.

7. EXAMINATION MEDIUM

 Ferromagnetic particles used shall be finely divided with high permeability and
low retentivity and from a reputed manufacturer. The color shall be such as to
give a good visual contrast. Following magnetic particle materials
manufactured by magnaflux shall be used.
 Wet particles shall be used with the suspension medium as water. The particle
concentration shall generally be from 1.2% to 2.4% by volume. A centrifuge
tube( shall be used to determine the particle concentration. Bath concentration
shall be checked every time before use or every 8 hours during continuous
examination. The temperature of wet particle suspension and the surface of the
part shall be within specified manufacturer recommendations.

APPLICATION BRAND AND COLOR AVERAGE PARTICLE SIZE


Wet Visible Magnaflux – Black < 8 microns

8. SURFACE PREPARATION

 The weld and adjoining areas up to about 1”(25.4mm) shall be clean. Wherever
surface irregularities could mask indications due to discontinuities appropriate
methods like grinding or brushing shall be employed to remove the
irregularities and examination surface shall be dry, free of dirt, oil, grease, mill
scale, welding flux or spatter.
 Non-magnetic thin surface coatings for white contrast enhancement may be
used.
