Non-Destructive Testing
Magnetic Particle Testing — Visible (MT)Level 3
Critical surface crack detection using visible magnetic particle inspection methods.
The method is applied in situ, on components that remain assembled in the engine room — from crankshaft journals to engine blocks — and yields an immediately visible, documentable result.
✓ Accredited by E.SY.D. — Cert. No. 134 for Testing
Case studies & field applications
Case study — cement mill main journal
Persistent cracks detected after a repair attempt: the journal diameter was reduced by 4 mm through grinding, yet residual crack indications were still visible.
- −4 mm
- Diameter reduced through grinding
This case demonstrates the importance of follow-up inspections after repair operations.
