 1. Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI)

Al Manar Petroleum Services offers Magnetic particle Inspection (MPI) which is a non-destructive testing (NDT) process for detecting surface and slightly subsurface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel, cobalt, and some of their alloys, MPI it is primarily used for crack detection. The main procedure which are followed in order to perform Magnetic Particle Test as below: 

  · Visual Inspection of Weldment and Adjacent areas. 

  · Pre-Clean and Paint Removal. 

  · Sensitivity Check.

  · Application of Magnetic Particle inspection.

  · Demagnetization. 

  · Post Inspection Cleaning.

  · Reporting. 

Al Manar skilled non-destructive testing personnel have years of experience in performing magnetic particle inspection and are Level 2 and 3 qualified NDT. We can provide the testing both on-site at our customers’ premises and in-house at our accredited laboratories. 

2. Hydrostatic Pressure Testing (PT) 

A hydrostatic test is a way in which we determines if the equipment which are used in high pressure environment if it can take the pressure and test the strength and leaks. The test involves filling the vessel or pipe system with a liquid, usually water, which may be dyed to aid in visual leak detection, and pressurization of the vessel to the specified test pressure 

The pressure used in hydrostatic pressure testing is always considerably more than the operating pressure to give the customer a margin for safety. Typically the test is performed at 150 percent of the design or working pressure. For example, if a pipe was rated to a working pressure of 2000 PSI, it would be tested at 3000 PSI.

3.  Ultrasound Testing for Leak Detection 

Ultrasound is also used effectively for electrical inspection, air tightness check and to monitor bearing lubrication. It’s also used to measure wall thickness in tubes and diameters of bars.

An ultrasonic wave is a mechanical vibration or pressure wave similar to audible sound, but with a much higher vibration frequency. For NDT purposes, the range is usually from 1MHz to 30MHz. Depending on the test requirements, these waves can be highly directional and focused on a small spot or thin line, or limited to a very short duration.
