Magnetic Particle Testing Courses


Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) is an Conventional Testing Method which involves the component under inspection being magnetized.

An example of the syllabus used for Magnetic Particle Testing Courses in our NDT Training Center is as follows:

Level 1:
General Theory:

  • Safety Precautions
  • Basic Principle of Magnetic Particle Testing
  • Methods of Magnetization
  • Inspection and Detection of Indications
  • Checks and Calibrations
  • Equipment
  • Test Procedures
  • Detectability of Defects
  • Standards and Specifications

Specific Theory:
Application of the NDT method Magnetic Particle Testing and use of codes, specifications and procedures, applicable to the company, including the relevant control checks

Practical Examination:
Follow written instructions and process the inspection test pieces, record and report defects from known datum markers, carry out pre-test calibration checks, post-test procedures

Level 2:
General Theory: (In addition to the level syllabus above)

  • Testing Procedures
  • Detectability of Defects
  • Interpretation and Reporting
  • Post-Test Procedures
  • Basic Production - Crude and Finished Products
  • Basic Casting Production Methods - Finished Products
  • Wrought Products Forming Processes
  • Basic Welding Processes
  • Safety Precautions

Specific Theory:
Application of the Magnetic Particle Testing method to the company’s specific requirements; in particular making reference to those codes, specifications and procedures, including the relevant control checks.

Practical Examination:
Produce written instructions, determine the best inspection techniques for the individual parts, process the inspection test pieces, record and report defects from know datum markers, carry out pre-test calibration checks, post-test procedures.

SGS can tailor the NDT training syllabus to satisfy the requirements of an individual company's specific written practice if requested.
