Revised Standard from Last Update.

1. SCOPE

1.1 This standard specifies techniques and recommended procedure for both dry and wet magnetic particle flaw detection, a non-destructive testing method, for detecting cracks and other discontinuities which are open to surface or just below the surface in ferromagnetic materials. The method is applicable only to material which can be easily magnetized notably iron, steel, cobalt, nickel and their alloys. Techniques described may be applied to raw materials, semi-finished material, finished material and welds regardless of heat treatment.

1.2 This practice may be used to prepare procedures for magnetic particle flaw detection of materials and parts.
