Magnetic particle testing is used to detect surface and subsurface discontinuities on ferromagnetic material, including welds. This inspection type is commonly used for carbon steel material and can be performed with minimal surface preparation; allowing for expedited inspection results. Acceptance criteria are in accordance with the latest edition of the ASME codes, including B31.3, and in accordance with other codes, specifications, or contract requirements that specify ASME Section V for magnetic particle examination procedures.
