IS 10543 : 1983 Method for dry powder magnetic particle testing

1 Scope

1.1 This standard prescribes the recommended procedure fordetection of cracks and other linear indications by the dry powdermagnetic particle testing. The method is applicable only toferromagnetic material and in case of welds where the weld metal isalso ferromagnetic.

1.2 This standard does not lay down any requirements for theacceptance or rejection of materials and components on which flawshave been revealed. This shall be subject to mutual agreementbetween the contracting parties. This agreement may provide detailswith regard to:

a) area to be inspected,

b) the technique to be used,

c) the type of discontinuities to be accepted, and

d) reworking and subsequent retesting which may be permissible.
