ASNT NDT Level II Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) Training Program
Develop Expertise in Surface and Near-Surface Defect Detection
The ASNT NDT Level II Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) Training Program at Advantech NDT Academy is designed to provide participants with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to perform, evaluate, and report Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) inspections in accordance with industry standards. The program follows the recommended training guidelines of ASNT SNT-TC-1A and prepares participants for Level II competency in Magnetic Particle Testing.
This comprehensive course combines classroom instruction with extensive hands-on practical training, enabling participants to confidently inspect ferromagnetic materials, identify surface and near-surface discontinuities, interpret inspection results, and prepare professional inspection reports.
Course Overview
Magnetic Particle Testing (MT), also known as Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI), is a widely used Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) method for detecting surface and near-surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials. It is extensively applied in industries such as oil & gas, power generation, manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, railways, shipbuilding, and fabrication.
This Level II training program enables participants to:
Perform Magnetic Particle Testing independently
Select appropriate magnetization techniques for different components
Set up and verify inspection equipment
Detect and evaluate surface and near-surface discontinuities
Interpret relevant and non-relevant indications
Perform demagnetization after inspection
Evaluate inspection results according to applicable codes and standards
Prepare accurate inspection reports and documentation
