Designation: E 709 – 08
Standard Guide for
Magnetic Particle Testing
1
This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 709; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.
1. Scope
1.1 This guide
2
describes techniques for both dry and wet
magnetic particle testing, a nondestructive method for detect-
ing cracks and other discontinuities at or near the surface in
ferromagnetic materials. Magnetic particle testing may be
applied to raw material, semifinished material (billets, blooms,
castings, and forgings), finished material and welds, regardless
of heat treatment or lack thereof. It is useful for preventive
maintenance testing.
1.1.1 This guide is intended as a reference to aid in the
preparation of specifications/standards, procedures and tech-
niques.
1.2 This guide is also a reference that may be used as
follows:
1.2.1 To establish a means by which magnetic particle
testing, procedures recommended or required by individual
organizations, can be reviewed to evaluate their applicability
and completeness.
1.2.2 To aid in the organization of the facilities and person-
nel concerned in magnetic particle testing.
1.2.3 To aid in the preparation of procedures dealing with
the examination of materials and parts. This guide describes
magnetic particle testing techniques that are recommended for
a great variety of sizes and shapes of ferromagnetic materials
and widely varying examination requirements. Since there are
many acceptable differences in both procedure and technique,
the explicit requirements should be covered by a written
procedure (see Section
21).
1.3 This guide does not indicate, suggest, or specify accep-
tance standards for parts/pieces examined by these techniques.
It should be pointed out, however, that after indications have
been produced, they must be interpreted or classified and then
evaluated. For this purpose there should be a separate code,
specification, or a specific agreement to define the type, size,
location, degree of alignment and spacing, area concentration,
and orientation of indications that are unacceptable in a specific
part versus those which need not be removed before part
acceptance. Conditions where rework or repair is not permitted
should be specified.
1.4 This guide describes the use of the following magnetic
particle method techniques.
1.4.1 Dry magnetic powder (see
8.4),
1.4.2 Wet magnetic particle (see
8.5),
1.4.3 Magnetic slurry/paint magnetic particle (see 8.5.7),
and
1.4.4 Polymer magnetic particle (see
8.5.8).
1.5 Personnel Qualification—Personnel performing exami-
nations in accordance with this guide should be qualified and
certified in accordance with ASNT Recommended Practice No.
SNT-TC-1A, ANSI/ASNT Standard CP-189, NAS 410,oras
specified in the contract or purchase order.
1.6 Nondestructive Testing Agency—If a nondestructive
testing agency as described in Practice
E 543 is used to
perform the examination, the nondestructive testing agency
should meet the requirements of Practice
E 543.
1.7 The numerical values shown in inch-pound units are to
be regarded as the standard. SI units are provided for informa-
tion only.
1.8 This standard does not purport to address all of the
safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-
priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-
bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.

4. Summary of Guide
4.1 Principle—The magnetic particle method is based on
establishing a magnetic field with high flux density in a
ferromagnetic material. The flux lines must spread out when
they pass through non-ferromagnetic material such as air in a
discontinuity or an inclusion. Because flux lines can not cross,
this spreading action may force some of the flux lines out of the
material (flux leakage). Flux leakage is also caused by reduc-
tion in ferromagnetic material (cross-sectional change), a sharp
dimensional change, or the end of the part. If the flux leakage
is strong enough, fine magnetic particles will be held in place
and an accumulation of particles will be visible under the
proper lighting conditions. While there are variations in the
magnetic particle method, they all are dependent on this
principle, that magnetic particles will be retained at the
locations of magnetic flux leakage. The amount of flux leakage
at discontinuities depends primarily on the following factors;
flux density in the material, and size, orientation, and proximity
to the surface of a discontinuity. With longitudinal fields, all of
the flux lines must complete their loops though air and an
excessively strong magnetic field may interfere with examina-
tion near the flux entry and exit points due to the high
flux-density present at these points.
4.2 Method—While this practice permits and describes
many variables in equipment, materials, and procedures, there
are three steps essential to the method:
4.2.1 The part must be magnetized.
4.2.2 Magnetic particles of the type designated in the
contract/purchase order/specification should be applied while
the part is magnetized or immediately thereafter.
4.2.3 Any accumulation of magnetic particles must be
observed, interpreted, and evaluated.
4.3 Magnetization:
4.3.1 Ways to Magnetize—A ferromagnetic material can be
magnetized either by passing an electric current through the
material or by placing the material within a magnetic field
originated by an external source. The entire mass or a portion
of the mass can be magnetized as dictated by size and
equipment capacity or need. As previously noted, in order to be
detectable, the discontinuity must interrupt the normal path of
the magnetic field lines. If a discontinuity is open to the

surface, the flux leakage attracting the particles will be at the
maximum value for that particular discontinuity. When that
same discontinuity is below the surface, flux leakage evident
on the surface will be a lesser value.
4.3.2 Field Direction—If a discontinuity is oriented parallel
to the magnetic field lines, it may be essentially undetectable.
Therefore, since discontinuities may occur in any orientation, it
may be necessary to magnetize the part or the area of interest
twice or more sequentially in different directions by the same
method or a combination of different methods (see Section
13)
to induce magnetic field lines in a suitable direction in which
to perform an adequate examination.
4.3.3 Field Strength—The magnetic field must be of suffi-
cient strength to indicate those discontinuities which are
unacceptable, yet must not be so strong that an excess of local
particle accumulation masks relevant indications (see Section
14).
4.4 Types of Magnetic Particles and Their Use—There are
various types of magnetic particles available for use in mag-
netic particle testing. They are available as dry powders
(fluorescent and nonfluorescent) ready for use as supplied (see
8.4), powder concentrates (fluorescent and nonfluorescent) for
dispersion in water or suspending in light petroleum distillates
(see 8.5), magnetic slurries/paints (see 8.5.7), and magnetic
polymer dispersions (see
8.5.8).
4.5 Evaluation of Indications—When the material to be
examined has been properly magnetized, the magnetic particles
have been properly applied, and the excess particles properly
removed, there will be accumulations of magnetic particles
remaining at the points of flux leakage. These accumulations
show the distortion of the magnetic field and are called
indications. Without disturbing the particles, the indications
must be examined, classified, compared with the acceptance
standards, and a decision made concerning the disposition of
the material that contains the indication.
4.6 Typical Magnetic Particle Indications:
4.6.1 Surface Discontinuities—Surface discontinuities, with
few exceptions, produce sharp, distinct patterns (see
Annex
A1
).
4.6.2 Near-surface discontinuities—Near-surface disconti-
nuities produce less distinct indications than those open to the
surface. The patterns tend to be broad, rather than sharp, and
the particles are less tightly held (see
Annex A1).
5. Significance and Use
5.1 The magnetic particle method of nondestructive testing
indicates the presence of surface and near-surface discontinui-
ties in materials that can be magnetized (ferromagnetic). This
method can be used for production examination of parts/
components or structures and for field applications where
portability of equipment and accessibility to the area to be
examined are factors. The ability of the method to find small
discontinuities can be enhanced by using fluorescent particles
suspended in a suitable vehicle and by introducing a magnetic
field of the proper strength whose orientation is as close as
possible to 90° to the direction of the suspected discontinuity
(see
4.3.2). A smoother surface or a pulsed current improves
mobility of the magnetic particles under the influence of the
magnetic field to collect on the surface where magnetic flux
leakage occurs.
6. Equipment
6.1 Types—There are a number of types of equipment
available for magnetizing ferromagnetic parts and components.
With the exception of a permanent magnet, all equipment
requires a power source capable of delivering the required
current levels to produce the magnetic field. The current used
dictates the sizes of cables and the capability of relays,
switching contacts, meters and rectifier if the power source is
alternating current.
6.2 Portability—Portability, which includes the ability to
hand carry the equipment, can be obtained from yokes,
portable coils with power supplies, and capacitor discharge
power supplies with cables. Generally, portable coils provide
high magnetizing forces by using higher numbers of turns to
compensate for their lower current flow. Capacitor discharge
units use high current storage capacity and provide these high
current levels for only a very short duration.
6.3 Yokes—Yokes are usually C-shaped electromagnets
which induce a magnetic field between the poles (legs) and are
used for local magnetization (
Fig. 1). Many portable yokes

have articulated legs (poles) that allow the legs to be adjusted
to contact irregular surfaces or two surfaces that join at an
angle.
6.3.1 Permanent Magnets—Permanent magnets are avail-
able but their use may be restricted for many applications. This
restriction may be due to application impracticality, or due to
the specifications governing the examination. Permanent mag-
nets can lose their magnetic field generating capacity by being
partially demagnetized by a stronger flux field, being damaged,
or dropped. In addition, the particle mobility created by AC
current or HW current pulsations produced by electromagnetic
yokes are not present. Particles, steel filings, chips, and scale
clinging to the poles can create a housekeeping problem.
6.4 Prods—Prods are used for local magnetizations, see
Fig.
2
. The prod tips that contact the piece should be aluminum,
copper braid, or copper pads rather than solid copper. With
solid copper tips, accidental arcing during prod placement or
removal can cause copper penetration into the surface which
may result in metallurgical damage (softening, hardening,
cracking, etc.). Open-circuit voltages should not exceed 25 V.
6.4.1 Remote Control Switch—A remote-control switch,
which may be built into the prod handles, should be provided
to permit the current to be turned on after the prods have been
properly placed and to turn it off before the prods are removed
in order to prevent arcing (arc burns).
6.5 Bench Unit—A typical bench type unit is shown in
Fig.
3
. The unit normally is furnished with a head/tailstock combi-
nation along with a fixed coil (see Fig. 4).
6.6 Black Light—The black light must be capable of devel-
oping a peak wavelength output at or near 365 nm with an
intensity at the examination surface that satisfies
7.1.2. Suitable
filters are used to remove the extraneous visible light and any
harmful UV radiation emitted by the black light bulb. Some
high intensity black light bulbs may emit unacceptable
amounts of blue light that may cause indications to become
invisible due to the increase in surface background. Refer to
E 2297 for more detail. When using a mercury vapor bulb a
change in line voltage greater than 610 % can cause a change
in black light output with consequent inconsistent perfor-
mance. A constant voltage transformer may be used where
there is evidence of voltage changes greater than 10 %.
6.7 Equipment Verification—See Section
20.
7. Examination Area
7.1 Light Intensity for Examination—Magnetic indications
found using nonfluorescent particles are examined under vis-
ible light. Indications found using fluorescent particles must be
examined under black (ultraviolet) light. This requires a
darkened area with accompanying control of the visible light
intensity.

7.1.1 Visible Light Intensity—The intensity of the visible
light at the surface of the part/work piece undergoing nonfluo-
rescent particle examination is recommended to be a minimum
of 100 foot candles (1076 lux). The intensity of ambient visible
light in the darkened area where fluorescent magnetic particle
testing is performed is recommended to not exceed 2 foot
candles (21.5 lux).
7.1.1.1 Field Examinations—For some field examinations
using nonfluorescent particles, visible light intensities as low as
50 foot candles (538 lux) may be used when agreed on by the
contracting agency.
7.1.2 Black (Ultraviolet) Light:
7.1.2.1 Black Light Intensity—The black light intensity at
the examination surface is recommended to not be less than
1000 µW/cm
2
when measured with a suitable black light meter.
7.1.2.2 Black Light Warm-up—When using a mercury vapor
bulb, allow the black light to warm up for a minimum of five
minutes prior to its use or measurement of the intensity of the
ultraviolet light emitted.
7.1.3 Dark Area Eye Adaptation—The generally accepted
practice is that an inspector be in the darkened area at least one
(1) minute so that his/her eyes will adapt to dark viewing prior
to examining parts under UV illumination. (Warning—
Photochromic or permanently tinted lenses should not be worn
during examination.)
7.2 Housekeeping—The examination area should be kept
free of interfering debris. If fluorescent materials are involved,
the area should also be kept free of fluorescent objects not
related to the part/piece being examined.
8. Magnetic Particle Materials
8.1 Magnetic Particle Properties:
8.1.1 Dry Particle Properties—
AMS 3040 describes the
generally accepted properties of dry method particles.
8.1.2 Wet Particle Properties—The following documents
describe the generally accepted properties of wet method
particles in their various forms:
AMS 3041 Magnetic Particles, Non-fluorescent, Wet
Method, Oil Vehicle, Ready to Use
AMS 3042 Magnetic Particles, Non-fluorescent, Wet
Method, Dry Powder
AMS 3043 Magnetic Particles, Non-fluorescent, Oil Ve-
hicle, Aerosol Packaged
AMS 3044 Magnetic Particles, Fluorescent, Wet Method,
Dry Powder
AMS 3045 Magnetic Particles, Non-fluorescent, Wet
Method, Oil Vehicle, Ready to Use
AMS 3046 Magnetic Particles, Non-fluorescent, Wet
Method, Oil Vehicle, Aerosol Packaged
8.1.3 Suspension Vehicle— The suspension vehicle for wet-
method examination may be either a light oil distillate fluid
(refer to
AMS 2641 or A-A-52930) or a conditioned water
vehicle (refer to
AS 4792).
8.2 Particle Types—The particles used in either dry or wet
magnetic particle testing techniques are basically finely divided
ferromagnetic materials which have been treated to impart
color (fluorescent and nonfluorescent) in order to make them
highly visible (contrasting) against the background of the
surface being examined. The particles are designed for use
either as a free flowing dry powder or for suspension at a given
concentration in a suitable liquid medium.
8.3 Particle Characteristics—The magnetic particles must
have high permeability to allow ease of magnetizing and
attraction to the site of the flux leakage and low retentivity so
they will not be attracted (magnetic agglomeration) to each
other. Control of particle size and shape is required to obtain
consistent results. The particles should be nontoxic, free from
rust, grease, paint, dirt, and other deleterious materials that
might interfere with their use; see
20.5 and 20.6. Both dry and
wet particles are considered safe when used in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions. They generally afford a very
low hazard potential with regard to flammability and toxicity.
8.4 Dry Particles—Dry magnetic powders are designed to
be used as supplied and are applied by spraying or dusting
directly onto the surface of the part being examined. They are
generally used on an expendable basis because of the require-
ment to maintain particle size and control possible contamina-
tion. Reuse is not a normal practice. Dry powders may also be
used under extreme environmental conditions. They are not
affected by cold; therefore examination can be carried out at
temperatures that would thicken or freeze wet baths. They are
also heat resistant; some powders may be usable at tempera-
tures up to 600°F (315°C). Some colored, organic coatings
applied to dry particles to improve contrast lose their color at
temperatures this high, making the contrast less effective.
Fluorescent dry particles cannot be used at this high a
temperature; the manufacturer should be contacted for the
temperature limitations.
8.4.1 Advantages—The dry magnetic particle technique is
generally superior to the wet technique for detection of
near-surface discontinuities on parts with a gross indication
size. Refer to
8.5.1: (a) for large objects when using portable
equipment for local magnetization; (b) superior particle mo-
bility is obtained for relatively deep-seated flaws using half-
wave rectified current as the magnetizing source; (c) ease of
removal.
