🔍 Certified Magnetic Particle Testing in Guyana – MT Services by Qualitest

Delivered by Qualitest Offshore Inc.

Qualitest Offshore Inc. provides reliable Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) services for both onshore and offshore infrastructure across Guyana. Our certified inspectors use state-of-the-art magnetic testing equipment to detect surface and slightly subsurface discontinuities in welds, structural steel, pipelines, and other ferromagnetic components within the oil & gas, marine, construction, and energy sectors.

🔍 What is Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)?

Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) is a non-destructive testing (NDT) method used to detect surface and near-surface defects in ferromagnetic materials. The component is magnetized, and fine magnetic particles are applied to reveal discontinuities such as cracks, laps, seams, or inclusions. The accumulation of particles at the defect site provides clear visual indicators of flaws.

MT is fast, safe, and effective for detecting discontinuities that could compromise the structural integrity of critical components.

🔍 Reliable MT Weld Inspection for Critical Infrastructure in Guyana

MT plays a key role in weld inspection, component verification, and in-service monitoring, offering a simple yet effective method of identifying surface-breaking defects. It is especially valuable for complex weld geometries and heavy-walled components where surface integrity is critical.

⚙️ Why Choose MT for Surface Crack Detection?

✔ Effective for detecting surface and slightly subsurface defects
✔ Immediate results—ideal for in-field inspection and QC checks
✔ Safe and easy to perform—no radiation involved
✔ Suitable for various geometries and component sizes
✔ Economical for both field and fabrication shop environments
✔ Compliant with major industry codes and standards

🛠️ MT Inspection Process

1. Surface Preparation
Surfaces are cleaned to ensure proper magnetic field flow and particle adherence.

2. Magnetization
A magnetic field is applied using yokes, coils, or prods depending on the component geometry.

3. Application of Magnetic Particles
Dry powder or liquid-suspended particles are applied. These accumulate at defect locations due to flux leakage.

4. Visual Inspection
Technicians inspect for particle patterns that indicate defects, under visible or UV light (fluorescent method).

5. Reporting & Evaluation
All indications are assessed according to applicable standards. A detailed digital report with findings and recommendations is provided.
