ASTM E709 Magnetic Particle Test

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM E709 testing. This standard covers techniques for both dry and wet magnetic particle testing, which is a non-destructive method for detecting surface or near-surface cracks and other discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials.

ASTM E709 Magnetic Particle Test

Magnetic particle testing can be applied to raw material, semi-finished material (billets, blooms, castings and forgings), finished materials and welds regardless of heat treatment or lack thereof. Useful for preventive maintenance testing.

This standard is intended as a reference to assist in the preparation of specifications/standards, procedures and techniques.

Establishing a method by which magnetic particle testing, procedures recommended or required by individual organizations, can be reviewed to evaluate their applicability and completeness.

Assisting with the organization of facilities and personnel involved in magnetic particle testing.

Assisting in the preparation of procedures for the inspection of materials and parts. This guide describes recommended magnetic particle testing techniques for ferromagnetic materials in a wide variety of sizes and shapes and for a wide variety of inspection requirements. Since there are many acceptable differences in both procedure and technique, clear requirements should be covered in a written procedure (see Chapter 21).

This standard does not specify, recommend or specify acceptance standards for parts/parts examined by these techniques. However, it should be noted that once symptoms are produced, they must be interpreted or classified and then evaluated. To this end, there should be a separate code, specification, or special agreement to define the type, size, position, degree of alignment and spacing, field concentration and orientation of indicators that are unacceptable versus not required in a particular piece. Conditions in which rework or repair are not allowed must be specified.

This standard describes the use of the following magnetic particle method techniques:

  • dry magnetic powder ,
  • wet magnetic particle ,
  • magnetic slurry/paint magnetic particle and
  • Polymer magnetic particle.

Personnel Qualification—Personnel inspecting according to this guideline will meet ASNT Recommended Practice No. The SNT-TC-1A must be qualified and certified to ANSI/ASNT Standard CP-189, NAS 410 or as specified in contract or purchase. order.

Nondestructive Testing Body— If a nondestructive testing body described in Specification E543 is used to perform the inspection, the nondestructive testing body must meet the requirements of Specification E543.

Values ​​stated in inch-pound units should be considered standard. Values ​​in parentheses are mathematical conversions to non-standard SI units, provided for informational purposes only.

Mercury has been designated by many regulatory agencies as a hazardous substance that can cause serious medical problems. Mercury or its vapors have proven to be harmful to health and corrosive to materials. Care should be taken when working with mercury and products containing mercury. See the applicable product Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for additional information. Users should be aware that selling mercury or products containing mercury, or both, to your state or country may be prohibited by law.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
