5.4.2.1 Prod magnetizing equipment shall be equipped with a remote switch to avoid arcing.

5.4.2.2 Half wave direct current (HWDC) of 100 to 125 amps per inch of prod spacing shall be used for material thickness of 314 inch and greater. For thickness less than 314 inch, 90 to 11 0 amps per inch of prod spacing shall be used.

5.4.2.3 The prod tips shall be kept clean and the contact area flat, to minimize arcing. When smoothly machined surfaces are to be examined by the prod technique, copper braided tips should be used. Copper tipped prods should not be used whenever the open circuit voltage is greater than 25 volts, lead, steel or aluminum tipped prods are recommended to avoid copper deposits on the part being examined.

5.4.2.4 Prod spacing shall be three inch minimum to eight inch maximum. Prods shall be firmnly pressed against the surface and the current turned on with the remote switch after the prods have been positioned and turned off before they are removed from the component.

5.4.2.5 If arc bums occur on the object being examined, the arc bum shall be removed/evaluated per site requirements.

5.4.3 Circular Magnetization 5.4.3.1 Direct Contact Equipment 5.4.3.1.1 Small forgings, castings or other parts may be examined by passing HWDC directly through the part. The required current shall be determined using the following guidelines.

The greatest cross sectional diagonal in a plane at right angles to the current flow shall be used for the diameter.

5.4.3.1.2 For parts with outer diameters up to five inches, 700 to 900 ampslinch of diameter shall be used.

5.4.3.1.3 For parts with outer diameters over five inches, up to ten inches, 500 to 700 amps/inch of diameter shall be used.

6.4.3.1.4 For parts with outer diameters over ten inches up to fifteen inches, 300 to 500 amps/inch of diameter shall be used.

SA.3.1.5 For parts with outer diameters over fifteen inches, 100 to 330 amps/inch of diameter shall be used.

5.4.3.1.6 The current may be induced in a part by clamping or pressing of electrodes, prods or leaches to the opposite ends of the part.

5.4.3.2 Central Conductor or Through Coil 5.4.3.2.1 For this technique, a rod or cables passed through the bore of a cylinder or ring shaped part may be used to induce circular magnetization.

5A.3.2.2 The field strength required shall be equal to that determined in 5.4.3.1 for the specific application with a single-turn central conductor.

9 EN-S NUCLEAR QUALrrY RELATED NDE9.30 Revision 2 t=oEnteo MANAGEMENT MANUAL REFERENC II REFERENCE USE IPage 8 of 16 5.4.3.2.3 The magnetic field will increase in proportion to the number of times the central conductor cable passes through a hollow part (e.g., using a through turn coil).

5.4.4 Longitudinal Magnetization 5.4.4.1 Coil/Cable Wrap 5.4.4.1.1 Small or medium sized parts with length (L) to diameter (D) ratio of at least two may be examined by passing HWDC current through cables wrapped around the part or through a fixed coil.

5.4.4.1.2 If a fixed, pre-wound coil is used, the part shall be placed near the side of the coil, not In the center.

5.4.4.1.3 Cable wrap coils must consist of three turns as a minimum.

5.4.4.1.4 For noncylindrical parts, 'D' shall be the maximum cross sectional diagonal.

5.4.4.1.5 The magnetizing current shall be within +/- 1O% of the ampere turns value determined as follows:

When length divided by diameter (UD) ratio is greater than or equal to four, Ampere - turns =

35,000 divided by the L/D ratio plus 2.

Ampere turns = 35.000 (LID) + 2 When the UD ratio is less than four but not less than two, Ampere - turns = 45,000 divided by the LID ratio.

Ampere turns = 45,000 LUD For parts with UD ratios less than two, an alternate form of magnetization shall be used.

5.4.4.1.6 The current shall be determined by dividing the ampere turns by the number of turns in the coil.

5.4.4.1.7 If the area to be magnetized extends beyond six inches on either side of the coils, field adequacy shall be demonstrated using a magnetic particle field Indicator.

5.4.4.2 Fixed A/C Coil 5.4.4.2.1 When using a fixed, pre-wound coil with non-adjustable current (e.g., Magnaflux L-10), the manufacturer's ampere-turns value shall be utiilized. The part shall be placed near the side of the coil during examination.

5.5 EXAMINATION PROCESS 5.5.1 Examinations shall be conducted with sufficient overlap to assure 100 percent coverage at the required test sensitivity.

5.5.5 Wet Fluorescent Particles 5.5.5.1 The magnetizing current shall be ON during the application of the particle suspension and must remain ON a minimum of one second after the suspension application Is stopped. This is referred to as the "continuous method."

5.5.5.2 Independent of which type of suspension Is used (I.e. aerosol or bulk), it should be applied by a light spray completely covering the examination area. Care should be taken to prevent an excessively hard spray or high velocity flow over the surface.

5.5.5.3 The examination area must be observed during application and removal of particles to identify the formation of possible indications.

5.5.5.4 When the aerosol cans are used, they must be kept thoroughly agitated during use.

5.5.6 Dry Particles 5.5.6.1 The magnetizing current shall be ON prior to application of particles and shall remain ON until the excess particles are removed (continuous method).

5.5.6.2 Particles must be applied by lightly dusting small quantities over the examination area. A powder bulb, powder gun or shaker may be used to apply particles.

5.5.6.3 Excess particles must be removed with a gentle stream of air from a hand bulb or a powder gun, held at an oblique angle to the surface -

5.5.6.A Broad areas of particle accumulation, which might mask Indications from discontinuities, shall be cleaned and reexamined.

5.5.6.5 The examination area must be observed during application and removal of particles to identify the formation of possible indications.

5.6 EVALUATION OF INDICATIONS 5.6.1 Indications resulting from inadequate preparation (cleaning), surface irregularities, grinding marks, permeability variations (usually broad, straight and less distinct than indications from surface discontinuities) or similar conditions may be considered nonrelevant or false indications. Indications determined to be nonrelevant or false may receive additional surface preparation. Areas receiving additional surface preparation shall be reexamined.

5.6.2 Any indication that Is believed to be non-relevant shall be reexamined to verify whether or not actual defects are present.

5.6.3 Broad areas of accumulation, which might mask indications from discontinuitles, are prohibited and such areas shall be cleaned and reexamined.

All indications are not necessarily defects, however, certain metallurgical discontinuities and magnetic permeability variations may produce similar indications that are not relevant to the detection of unacceptable discontinuities.

5.6.5 Indications resulting from mechanical discontinuities (e.g., cracks, weld flaws) shall be considered relevant flaw indications.

6.6.6 All Indications shall be evaluated in terms of the acceptance standards listed in Attachment 9.1.

5.6.7 If no acceptance criteria exists, the responsible Engineer and/or the Level Ill shall develop a usable criterion based upon codes, specifications etc. which apply.

5.6.8 Non-relevant Indications that would mask Indications or defects are unacceptable.

5.7 POST-CLEANING REQUIREMENTS AND DEMAGNETIZATION 5.7.1 All surfaces shall be cleaned to remove all magnetic particles after testing is complete and work areas is as clean as originally found.

5.7.2 When residual magnetism could interfere with subsequent processes, demagnetization shall be performed by using the appropriate process.
