Carrier oils for magnetic particle testing
In non-destructive testing (NDT), magnetic particle testing (MT) plays a central role in the detection of cracks and defects on or near the workpiece surface. In addition to the magnetic particle itself, the choice of a suitable carrier medium is crucial for a reliable and reproducible test result. Carrier oils for magnetic particle testing ensure optimum particle distribution and indication quality - especially under demanding conditions.

What are carrier oils for magnetic particle testing?
Carrier oils serve as a carrier medium for the magnetic powder in suspensions. They are specially formulated oils with a defined viscosity, high flash point, chemical stability and low inherent fluorescence. Their main task is to distribute the magnetic particles evenly on the surface of the test part and to keep them in suspension during the entire test process.
These properties have a significant influence on the sensitivity, cleanliness and safety of the test procedure - especially in automated processes or tests with high quantities.
Advantages of high-quality PFINDER carrier oils for MPI testing
Carrier oils for magnetic particle testing offer a number of advantages:
- Optimum suspension properties for homogenous particle distribution
- High flash point for improved safety during handling and storage
- Low evaporation - particularly economical in continuous operation
- Low residue - easy cleaning of the tested components
- Stable viscosity - consistent test conditions
- Free of inherent fluorescence - clear and high-contrast indications
- Almost odorless - for a convenient work environment
