Magnetic Particle Inspection  

PMM performs MPI in accordance with the ASTM-E1444 standard practice for magnetic particle testing. This allows us to not only perform these inspections for aerospace related purposes, but also for any general magnetic particle inspection requirement. Our Magnetic Particle equipment includes a Magnaflux wet horizontal MPI unit for in house inspections, and an Electro-magnetic hand-Yoke for in the field inspections.

An example of an MPI is our Engine Mount inspection. Our service here includes completely stripping the mount through the use of an abrasive blasting technique called bead blasting. This removes any surface deposits (such as paints) by blasting fine glass beads at high pressure without damaging the surface itself. The engine mount is then inspected, after which it is repainting by means of powder coating. If during the inspection cracks are detected, we also have the possibility to have your engine mount repaired.
