Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

At H.E.R.O.S., we offer two types of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), including both Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) and Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI).

Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI)

Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) is a non-destructive testing method used to detect surface and near-surface defects in ferromagnetic materials. It relies on the principles of magnetism.

In MPI, a magnetic field is applied to the test material, and ferrous particles (usually iron or iron oxide) are applied to the surface. When defects or cracks disrupt the magnetic field, the particles cluster at these locations, creating visible indications that can be easily examined.

MPI Capabilities

Surface and Near-Surface Flaw Detection: MPI is particularly effective for detecting surface and near-surface defects in ferromagnetic materials, including cracks, inclusions, laps, seams, and other anomalies.

Rapid Inspection: MPI is a relatively quick testing method, making it suitable for applications where speed is important, such as production environments.

Real-Time Inspection: Results can be observed in real time, allowing for immediate decision-making and immediate re-inspection if necessary.

Cost-Effective: MPI is considered cost-effective for many applications, especially when compared to other NDT methods.

MPI Tools

Magnetic Particles: Iron or iron oxide particles, either dry or suspended in a liquid, are applied to the surface of the test piece. These particles accumulate at defect locations under the influence of the magnetic field.

Fluorescent Particle Inspection Materials: These materials are used to make the particles visible. In some cases, they are applied as a contrasting background to improve the visibility of indications.

UV Light Source: For fluorescent MPI, a UV light source is used to excite the fluorescent particles, making the indications visible.

Wet Particle Application Equipment: Wet particles are used, application equipment used are suspension tanks.

Cleaners and Removers: These are used to clean the surface after testing to remove excess particles.

Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI)

Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI), is a fluorescent dye applied to the surface of a non-porous material in order to detect defects that may compromise the integrity or quality of the part in question. It is a non-destructive testing (NDT) method used to detect surface-breaking defects or discontinuities in various materials, including metals, plastics, ceramics, and composites.

This method FPI involves the application of a colored or fluorescent liquid penetrant to the test surface, which is then drawn into any surface defects through capillary action. Afterward, excess penetrant is removed, and a developer is applied to make the indications visible for examination.

FPI Capabilities

Surface Defect Detection: Is highly effective at identifying surface-breaking defects, including cracks, seams, laps, porosity, and other discontinuities.

Sensitivity: Can detect very small defects, often on the order of a few thousandths of an inch, making it suitable for high-precision applications.

Materials: Can be used on a wide range of materials, including metals, ceramics, plastics, and composites, as long as they are not highly porous.

Color Contrast and Fluorescence: Offers color contrast and fluorescent options, making it possible to detect indications under different lighting conditions.

Versatility: Can be applied to complex shapes and intricate geometries, and it can be used for both laboratory and field inspections.

Liquid Penetrant Inspection (FPI) Tools:

Penetrant Materials: These include the liquid penetrant itself, which can be either colored or fluorescent, as well as developer materials for making indications visible.

Penetrant Application Equipment: Dip tanks are used to apply the penetrant to the surface of the test piece.

Developer Application Equipment: Similar to penetrant application, developer materials are applied to the surface to draw out penetrant from defects and make them visible. This is done developer powders.

Cleaners and Removers: These are used to clean the surface of the test piece before applying the penetrant and to remove excess penetrant after the dwell time.

UV Light Source (for fluorescent penetrants): In fluorescent penetrant inspection (FPI), a UV light source is used to excite the fluorescent penetrant, making indications visible.

Safety Equipment: When working with UV fluorescent penetrants, technicians may use protective goggles and clothing to shield themselves from UV radiation.

Visual Inspection Equipment: This includes the use of adequate lighting, magnifying glasses, and other tools to inspect the test piece for indications.

Cleaning Materials: Solvents, cleaning brushes, and rags are used to ensure the test piece’s surface is clean before the application of penetrant.
