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.
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)
QCL NY performs Magnetic Particle Testing for many construction and industrial applications, including:
Structural steel welds
Fillet welds and groove welds
Welded connections and repairs
Heat-affected zones (HAZ)
Beams, columns, plates
Brackets and connection points
Bolted/welded assemblies
Shop fabrication testing
On-site steel erection inspections
Repair verification and re-inspection
Magnetic Particle Testing offers key advantages:
Fast and cost-effective
Highly sensitive for small surface cracks
Detects near-surface defects
Suitable for complex shapes and weld areas
