Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) Services | QCL NY

Reliable Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) in NY, NJ & CT

QCL NY provides Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) to detect surface and near-surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials such as carbon steel and certain alloy steels. MT is a highly effective Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) method commonly used for inspecting welds, structural steel components, and critical connections.

Our inspection services support construction quality control, safety compliance, and project documentation through accurate testing and clear reporting.


What is Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)?

Magnetic Particle Testing is an inspection method that uses a magnetic field and magnetic particles to identify defects in ferromagnetic materials. When a defect is present (like a crack), it disrupts the magnetic field and creates “leakage,” attracting particles to the discontinuity—making it visible for evaluation.

MT is ideal for detecting:

  • Surface cracks

  • Near-surface defects

  • Seams and laps

  • Lack of fusion indications in weld areas (near surface)


MT Inspection Applications

QCL NY performs Magnetic Particle Testing for many construction and industrial applications, including:

✅ Weld Inspections

  • Structural steel welds

  • Fillet welds and groove welds

  • Welded connections and repairs

  • Heat-affected zones (HAZ)

✅ Structural Steel Components

  • Beams, columns, plates

  • Brackets and connection points

  • Bolted/welded assemblies

✅ Fabrication & Field Inspection

  • Shop fabrication testing

  • On-site steel erection inspections

  • Repair verification and re-inspection
