1.

whould be used with a known artificial discontinuity located where on the
standard?

electromagnetic yokes?
They are easier to encapsulate in plastic
Better efficiency in the generation of magnetic fields

0.25 - 3 KA
6 - 20 KA
0.25 - 3 MA
6. When direct current is passed through a central conductor inserted through a
holow tubes at what point is the magnetic field intensity essentially zero?
At the inner circumference of the tube
At the exact centre of the threading bar
On the surface of teh tube
Both at the inner circumference of the tube and at the exact centre of the
threading bar
7. Under optimum conditions with dry powder for substances flaw detection,
which of the following waveforms would best be used?
 Direct current
Three phase rectified alternating current - full wave
Alternating current
Single phase rectified alternating current - half wave
8. Under optimum conditions magnetic particles used with the wet method are
made from iron oxide rather than higer permeability iron. What are the reasons
for this choice?
Iron oxide is more dense than iron
Iron oxide is less dense than iron
Iron oxide falls out of suspension quicker than iron
Iron falls out of suspension quicker than iron oxide
Both Iron oxide is less dense than iron and Iron falls out of suspension
quicker than iron oxide

Induced current generating a toroidal magnetic field
Magnetic flow across the diamter of ring
11. Using 10 amps per mm diameter how much current is to be used to
magnetise a bar 25 x 20 mm x 2 metres long on a bench unit using current flow?
286 amps
320 amps
160 amps
143 amps
12. Magnetic particles form indications around flux leakages due to which of the
following?
Magnetism follows the path of most resistance
Iron particles are good conductors of electricity
Air has a higher reluctance than iron or iron oxide
All of the above are true
13. Which of the following materials could be inspected using the residual
technique due to the materials high retentivity?
Low carbon steel
Heat treated high carbon steel
 Austenitic stainless steel
Ferritic stainless steel
14. With prods using half wave direct current, the magnetic field within the
material is dependent on which of the following factors?
Amount of current used
The permeability of the inspected material
The distance between prod tips when positioned on the chromed hard
facing
Both the amount of current used and the permeability of the inspected
material
All of the above
15. Which of the following techniques is most likely to be used when a permanent
record of the inside of a threaded bolt hole is required?
Strippable lacquer
Photography
Magnetic Rubber
Any of the above may be used
16. If two magnetic fields of equal intensity are induced into a ferromagnetic
material at 90 degrees to each other in the longitudinal and transverse directions,
which of the following faults could be detected?
Faults only at 45 degrees
Longitudinal faults only
Transverse faults only
Faults lying in a position 45 degrees in either direction from a direction at
45 degrees from the longitudinal direction
17. Why would a photometer be used when carrying out fluorescent magnetic
particle inspection?
To measure the black light given off from a UV-A lamp
To measure radiation between 320 nM - 400 nM
To measure radiation between 400 nM - 700 nM
None of the above
18. Photopic vision refers to vision used when carrying out which type of
inspection?
Non fluorescent inspection
Fluorescent inspection
Dry powder inspection
All of the above
Both Fluorescent inspection and dry powder inspection
19. If the levels of electric current used to magnetise ferromagnetic material are
greatly exceeded, what phenomena can occur when magnetic particles are
applied?
The particles are forced off the parts surface due to vibrational
 impingrement
The particles are forced together around faults showing an indication
much larger than the fault below
The particles are held over the entire surface giving an overall background
which may be confusing
The part will very quickly melt

for use in the wet magnetic particle technique?
De-wetting agent
Rust inhibitor
Foaming agent
All of the above could be used
