Magnetic particle inspection — surface flaws revealed.
MPI reveals surface and near-surface flaws in ferromagnetic materials by exposing magnetic flux leakage at discontinuities. We use AC, DC, wet fluorescent and dry powder methods on lifting gear, welds and forgings.
What we cover.
The complete range of equipment and procedures included in this service line.
Crane Hooks & Slings
