Product information

Quantitative Quality Indicators (QQIs) are artificially-flawed, low-carbon steel specimens that you can use in magnetic particle inspection to verify your MPI procedures. They provide a quantitative method of establishing the correct field direction and strength that are needed to produce clear indications of flaws.

Main features:

  • Improved inspection reliability
  • Increased productivity through reducing the number of magnetising ‘shots’ that are needed.
  • A simple procedure set-up, particularly for multi-directional applications
  • Quantitative assessment: results can be compared with other parameters, such as Hall Effect Gaussmeter readings, to facilitate better process control.
  • Assured field balance for multi-directional MPI.
  • Effective assessment on any part, regardless of its shape.
  • Reusable if carefully applied and removed. Alternatively, they can be permanently mounted.
  • Helps prevent over-magnetisation.

Usage:

First, make sure that the test surface and the Quantitative Quality Indicators shim are clean and dry.

Place the Quantitative Quality Indicators shim flaw-side-down onto the test surface and secure it in place. The KSC-230 and KCST-234 shims are self-adhesive; KSC-4-230 can be secured with a cyano-acrylate superglue or clear pressure-sensitive tape (we recommend Scotch brand 191, 471 or 600 series). Make sure there are no air gaps between the shim and the test surface.

Take gaussmeter readings for both circular and horizontal fields at the point where the QQI is attached. Once you have recorded those readings, a daily meter reading will provide sufficient verification control.
