Magnetic particle inspection is suitable for detecting discontinuities (e.g. cracks) in or near the surface of ferromagnetic materials.
The workpiece must be magnetized in the test area. The discontinuity can be shown best if the magnetic field is vertical to the discontinuity.
There are various types of detection media: a suspension of coloured (including black) or fluorescent particles in a carrier fluid (based on water or oil), or dry powders. Fluorescent media usually gives the highest sensitivity.
Dry testing:
The test area can be sprayed with a dry magnetic powder, or the workpiece can be dipped into a container in which the particles are kept afloat by air whirling (eddy pot procedure). The dry testing is recommendable where a wetting of the surface must be avoided, or with the examination of hot parts.
Wet testing:
The magnetic powder is suspended in a carrier fluid. The particle size of the powder is smaller so that smaller discontinuities may be detected.

MR233 - Dry Powder Yellow
- A highly refined nonfluorescent and fluorescent yellow magnetic powder
- Used for dry method magnetic particle inspection
- Designed to be used in visible light, black light, and blue light to reveal discontinuities on fabricated components or weldments such as bridges, drill pipes, large tanks, and machinery
- Possesses a unique characteristic in that discontinuities in visible light are a distinct green and under black light or blue light the discontinuities fluorescent a sharp yellow
- This specially iron-based powder is designed to minimize “dustiness” and provide clear, sharp discontinuities. The decrease in dusting allows for a safer inspection area
- Meets or exceeds AMS 3040 and all applicable industry specifications.
