Penetrant Testing

Penetrant testing (PT) is one of the oldest and most widely used methods for the detection of surface discontinuities in nonporous solid materials. The earliest tests with the oil and whitening method were performed in the late 19th century and were primarily dedicated to the examination of various railroad parts, such as the rails, axels and shafts.
From mid 20th century, the penetrant method has gone through a remarkable development and is now the most important method for the detection of surface defects and discontinuities.

Penetrant testing will help you find defects that are open towards the surface, like cracks and pores. The method is suitable for all non-porous materials such as steel, aluminium, copper, plastics, ceramics and castings. The method is relatively simple to carry out and is very applicable depending on its portability. It is a high sensitivity method that is also effective for production inspection.

Liquid penetrants can be divided into two main categories: colour contrast penetrant and fluorescent penetrant. They can further be classified according to the way excess penetrant is removed and the denomination of the developer.

Liquid penetrant method

Will detect discontinuities open towards the surface in non-porous materials
Is a high sensitivity method for the detection of very small defects like cracks and pores
Relatively simple, versatile, reliable and inexpensive.

Magnetic Particle Testing

Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) is a non-destructive testing method for detecting discontinuities that are primarily linear and located at or near the surface of ferromagnetic components and structures. Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to a magnet and can easily be magnetized, materials such as iron, nickel and cobalt.

This testing method is based on the principle that magnetic flux in a magnetized object is locally distorted by the presence of a discontinuity. This distortion causes some of the magnetic field to exit and re-enter the test object at the discontinuity. This phenomenon is called magnetic flux leakage.
The flux leakage field attracts the added magnetic particles and they will produce a visible indication of the discontinuity.

Bycotest’s magnetic particle products will help you to tell a harmless scratch from a dangerous crack. The magnetic particle method is used to find defects that are in or just under the surface of ferromagnetic materials. Get in-depth knowledge on the state of the construction quickly and effectively without damaging the material or the environment. The magnetic particles will gather around the defect, making it easy to locate and repair.

Magnetic particle inspection can be made with coloured (most often black) magnetic particles or flourescent magnetic particles. The test method can be a residual method or a continuous method. The magnetic particles can be dry or wet and there are several different ways to magnetize the object.
