Enhancing Safety: Wet & Dry Magnetic Particle Testing in India
At INSPECTION TECHNIC India, magnetic particle testing (MPT) is one of the most trusted ways to inspect surface and near-surface defects in iron and steel components. Using advanced wet and dry techniques, we help businesses across India ensure their critical parts are safe, strong, and ready to perform—especially in industries like oil & gas, construction, manufacturing, and automotive.
What is Wet & Dry Magnetic Particle Testing?
Magnetic particle testing involves applying a magnetic field to a metal component and sprinkling magnetic particles over it. These particles gather wherever there’s a crack or flaw, making them visible under inspection. Depending on the material and shape, we use either wet or dry methods:
Wet Magnetic Particle Testing A liquid mix with magnetic particles is sprayed on the surface. It flows into small cracks and highlights them clearly under special lighting.
Dry Magnetic Particle Testing Dry particles are applied directly to the surface—best for rough or uneven materials. They settle in defects and make them visible instantly.
How Does It Work?
Preparation – We clean the surface thoroughly.
Magnetization – A magnetic field is applied with a yoke or coil.
Particle Application – Wet or dry particles are spread over the surface.
Inspection – Any defect shows up clearly as particles gather at the flaw.
Demagnetization – Residual magnetism is removed after the test.
Applications in Indian Industries
Oil and Gas: We inspect pipelines, tanks, and pressure vessels to prevent internal failures and maintain safety at every stage
Construction: X-ray testing is used to verify the quality of welds and components in bridges, buildings, and infrastructure—keeping projects solid and safe.
Manufacturing: High-pressure machinery and components undergo radiography checks to confirm quality before use or installation.
- Automotive: Critical vehicle parts—like engine blocks and axles—are tested to ensure safety and performance.
Benefits of Wet & Dry Magnetic Particle Testing
✅ Sensitive to Small Defects – Finds fine cracks others might miss
✅ Cost-Effective – Great value for reliable results
✅ Fast and Efficient – Quick inspections with immediate findings
✅ Non-Destructive – No damage to the material
✅ Wide Application – Works well on many ferromagnetic components
