Magnetic Particle Testing Formula

Commonly used MT Formula are provided for reference

Featured Formula Remarks
Current Formula Head Shot (Square Bar)
Current = Bar diagonal * MF

Bar Diagonal = a2 + b2
Where,
Current = Amperage
MF = Material Factor
Current Formula Head Shot (Irregular Shape)
Current = p π * MF
Where,
P = Perimeter
MF = Material Factor
Current Formula Central Conductor Shot
Current = [CCD + (2 * WT)] * MF
Where,
CCD = Central Conductor Diameter
WT = Wall Thickness
MF = Material Factor
Current Formula -Low Fill Factor (Longitudinal Magnetism)
NI = K L D

(Parts positioned to side of coil)
Where,
N = Number of turns in the coil
K = Factor (45000 amps turn)
L = Length of part
D = Diameter of Part
I = Current (amps)
Current Formula -Low Fill Factor (Longitudinal Magnetism)
NI = KR ( 6L D ) - 5

(Parts positioned to center of coil)
Where,
N = Number of turns in the coil
K = Factor (43000 amps turn)
R = Radius of coil
L = Length of part
D = Diameter of Part
I = Current (amps)
Current Formula - High Fill Factor (Longitudinal Magnetism)
NI = K ( L D ) + 5

(includes cable wrap)
Where,
N = Number of turns in the coil
K = Factor (35000 amps turn)
L = Length of part
D = Diameter of Part
I = Current (amps)
Current Formula -Intermediate Fill Factor (Longitudinal Magnetism)
NI = (NI)h (10-t) + (NI)l (t - 2) 8
Where,
(NI)h = NI value calculated for high fill factor
(NI)l = NI value calculated for low fill factor
t = ratio of the cross sectional area of the coil to the cross sectional area of the part.
N = Number of turns in the coil
Effective Diameter
Deff = 2[(At - Ah)/2]1/2

(When the part is hollow areas)
Where,
At = total cross sectional area of the part
Ah = cross sectional area of the hollow part
Effective Diameter
Deff = 2[(OD)2 - (ID)2]1/2

(When the part is hollow areas)
Where,
OD = outer diameter of the cylinder
ID = inner diameter of the cylinder
