BS 6072:1981 PDF

What is BS 6072 – Magnetic particle flaw detection about?

BS 6072 is a British standard that discusses the methods for magnetic particle flaw detection. The main advantage of magnetic particle inspection is that it can give an immediate indication of defects and discontinuities. BS 6072 specifies techniques and procedures for magnetic particle flaw detection of ferromagnetic materials. Magnetic particle flaw detection is primarily used for the detection of surface-breaking flaws, particularly cracks. It can also detect flaws just below the surface, but its sensitivity diminishes rapidly with depth.
