settling volume through use of an ASTM pear shaped centrifuge
stem (0.1 mldivision). tube with 1.5 ml

to 2.4 mL per 100 mL of welr_mixed
sample after settling time of at least
half an hour. rr* .or-,.untration shall be
checked prior to use and after every eight
hours of continuous use.
8.0 EXAMINATION PROCEDURE

8.1 Before the magnetic particre examination is

conducter.l, a check of the
examination surface shalr be conducte.d to
locate ,r.,f-Jir.ontinuity which ma1,
not attract and hold magnetic particres because
of theii width.
8.2 Longitudinal magnetic fietd shalr be created
with the help of AC yoke. The yoke
legs shall be in full contact with the
metal surface.
8.3 Continuous method shall be used. The yoke
shall be energized after it is properly
positioned and de energized before removal.
8.4 The leg spacing shail not be ress than 25
mm and more than 1z0mm (centre_to_
centre).
8.5 At each location, two examinations approximately perpendicurar
shall be carried out. to each other
8.6 Yoke shall be placed across the werds at an
angle 30-45 degree from the long axis
of the weld' sufficient overlap shall be made
to ensure 10d% coverage of the area
requiring examination.
