ASNT NDT Level II in Magnetic Particle Testing in India

ASNT NDT Level II in Magnetic Particle Testing (MPT) refers to a certification program provided by the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT). NDT stands for Nondestructive Testing, which is a set of techniques used to inspect and evaluate materials, components, and structures without causing any damage.

Magnetic Particle Testing (MPT) is one of the NDT methods used to detect surface and near-surface defects in ferromagnetic materials (materials that are attracted to magnets, like iron and steel). This technique involves inducing a magnetic field in the material and applying magnetic particles (usually in the form of a liquid suspension or dry powder) on the surface. If there is a defect, such as a crack or discontinuity, the magnetic field will cause the magnetic particles to gather at the defect’s location, making it visible under proper lighting conditions.

The certification demonstrates that the individual is capable of performing Magnetic Particle Testing according to established standards and procedures and can accurately interpret the results. It is often required by industries such as manufacturing, construction, and aerospace to ensure the quality and safety of materials and components.
