Magnetic Particle Level 1 - 16 Hours

There are two portions to this course:

1. 16 hour lesson with progress tracking

2. Final Examination requiring 80% to pass and receive a completion certificate.

Do not start the final examination until the 16 hour course is complete.

The Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) Level I course provides a structured progression in understanding and applying this nondestructive testing method. Level I introduces the fundamentals of magnetic particle testing, including the principles of magnetism, magnetic fields, and material magnetization. Participants learn essential skills such as surface preparation, proper application of magnetic particles, identifying indications, and distinguishing between relevant and non-relevant indications. Safety considerations and equipment handling are also emphasized. Building on these basics, the Level II course advances into technique selection, defect evaluation, and determining the suitability of MT for various materials and components. This 16-hour course meets or exceeds the instruction outline and criteria specified in NAS-410, ASNT Recommended Practices SNT-TC-1A, ANSI/ASNT CP-189 and ASNT Standard Topical Outlines for Qualification of Nondestructive Testing Personnel (ANSI/ASNT CP-105).
