Magnetic Particle Inspection

 

Electomagnetic Yoke

In our Magnetic Particle Inspections, we use an electromagnetic yoke which creates a magnetic field for detection of discontinuities parallel to a weld bead.

Magnetic Particle Inspection

Areas Tested:

  1. Outrigger Jack Box
  2. Turntable
  3. Aerial Support Structure
  4. Platform Support Structure
  5. Ladder/Boom Stress Areas

For units constructed of ferro-magnetic materials, fillet type welds supporting the main structure are inspected by the magnetic particle methods.
