Description
Quantitative Quality Indicators (QQIs) are artificially-flawed, low-carbon steel specimens that you can use in magnetic particle inspection to verify your MPI procedures. They provide a quantitative method of establishing the correct field direction and strength that are needed to produce clear indications of flaws.
SPECIFICATION COMPLIANCE
- AS 5371
- ASTM E709
- ASTM E1444
- ASTM BPVC Section V Article 7
- ASTM E3024
MAIN FEATURES
- Improved inspection reliability.
- Increased productivity through reducing the number of magnetising ‘shots’ that are needed.
- A simple procedure set-up, particularly for multi-directional applications
- Quantitative assessment: results can be compared with other parameters, such as Hall Effect Gaussmeter readings, to facilitate better process control.
- Assured field balance for multi-directional MPI.
- Effective assessment on any part, regardless of its shape.
- Reusable if carefully applied and removed. Alternatively, they can be permanently mounted.
- Helps prevent over-magnetisation.
