Magnetic Particle Testing (MPT) – NDT Level I & II Training

Master the theory, practicals, ASME code, and inspection reporting in MPT as per ASNT/ISO standards.

What you’ll learn
Understand the principles of Magnetic Particle Testing and its application in detecting surface and near-surface discontinuities.
Learn the complete MT process including magnetization techniques, application of particles, and interpretation of indications.
Differentiate between relevant and non-relevant indications and understand their significance in defect evaluation.
Gain awareness of MT equipment, safety procedures, and applicable industry codes, standards, and documentation.

Requirements
No prior experience in Magnetic Particle Testing is required—this course is beginner-friendly.
Basic understanding of industrial inspection or NDT is helpful but not compulsory.
Access to MT equipment (yoke, magnetic bench, particles, UV light) is useful for practice, though not mandatory for theory.
Willingness to follow safety guidelines and learn practical defect detection techniques.

Description
This course provides complete training on Magnetic Particle Testing (MPT), one of the most widely used Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods for detecting surface and near-surface defects in ferromagnetic materials.You will start by learning the basic principles of magnetism, types of magnetic fields, and how these are applied in defect detection. The course then covers the different types of weld and casting defects, magnetization techniques, equipment handling, and various inspection methods used in the field. Special attention is given to the use of fluorescent magnetic particles and UV light for enhanced defect visibility.You’ll also gain knowledge of the applicable ASME code requirements and industry standards that govern MPT procedures and reporting. Through step-by-step practical demonstrations and real-world examples, you’ll learn how to perform inspections and generate professional reports.This course is ideal for beginners preparing for Level I or Level II MPT certification, as well as professionals seeking to refresh or strengthen their core NDT skills. Downloadable checklists, charts, and sample reports are included to support your learning and practical understanding.Whether you’re starting your NDT career or expanding your inspection qualifications, this course offers both theoretical and hands-on knowledge to help you succeed confidently in real-world industrial applications.

Who this course is for
This course is ideal for aspiring NDT professionals, technicians, weld inspectors, quality control staff, and engineering students. It’s especially useful for individuals working in industries such as oil & gas, railways, aerospace, automotive, and fabrication where quick and reliable surface defect detection is essential. Whether you’re entering the NDT field or upgrading your skills, this course provides strong foundational knowledge and practical insights.
