MT 1+2 (english)

Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) Level 1 and Level 2

NDT-Qualification according to DIN EN ISO 9712

Course Language: English

Participants

Testing and welding personnel, welding supervisors, welders, and quality assurance personnel. During magnetic particle testing, the limits set out in “DGUV Rule 103-014 Electromagnetic Fields” may be exceeded. People with pacemakers are excluded from participating in the course! Individuals with implants must observe the manufacturer’s specifications of the implant!

Content

Magnetic particle testing has proven to be a simple, cost-effective, and highly sensitive testing method for detecting cracks and lack of fusion at the surface in components made of ferromagnetic materials, such as welded components, castings, and forgings.
The course covers the curriculum of Levels 1 and 2. The physical and technical fundamentals are presented through lectures and practical exercises. At the same time, targeted training on test objects is provided to ensure an understanding of typical object characteristics relevant to testability. Key focuses of this very practice-oriented training include testing techniques for different object geometries, as well as the development of test instructions in conjunction with suitable magnetization techniques and equipment. Another major focus is the evaluation and documentation of indications. An examination is conducted according to DIN EN ISO 9712, considering the Pressure Equipment Directive (DGRL) 2014/68/EU.

Note

The training is multi-sectoral. With proven industrial experience of at least 60 days in the field of magnetic particle testing and physical fitness (eye test), participants can, after successfully completing the course, be certified according to DIN EN ISO 9712 by the certification body. The examination and subsequent certification are carried out by TÜV Nord. Proof of prior experience as specified by TÜV Nord is required to be eligible for the examination.

Certification

The qualification examination is conducted by the personnel certification body of TÜV Nord. Usually, the participant submits a certification application following the examination, upon which the corresponding certificate is issued.
TÜV Nord certificates are accredited by DAkkS and cover the industrial sectors “Castings (c)”, “Forgings (f)”, “Welded Products (w)”, “Tubes and Piping (t)” as well as “Rolled Products (wp)”. Certification according to the Pressure Equipment Directive is possible upon corresponding application.
