We provide comprehensive Magnetic Particle Testing (MT/MPI) Services as part of our Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) solutions, specializing in the detection of surface and near-surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials. Our inspection services are designed to identify cracks, seams, laps, inclusions, and other defects that may affect the integrity and performance of critical components across industries such as oil & gas, petrochemical, marine, power generation, fabrication, automotive, and heavy engineering.
Magnetic Particle Testing (MT / MPI)
At AIE, we implement practical and field-proven Magnetic Particle Testing (MT / MPI) methodologies in accordance with internationally recognized standards including ASTM E1444/E1444M, ASME BPVC Section V Article 7, ISO 9934-1, and applicable API requirements. Our inspection approach combines strong technical compliance with extensive field experience to ensure reliable detection of surface and near-surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials across critical assets in oil & gas, fabrication, marine, and infrastructure sectors.
Standards & Compliance
- ASTM E1444 / E1444M compliant inspection procedures
