Magnetic Flux Leakage Inspection
Basic Operation
MFL technology is similar to Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) but without the ink or
magnetic particle.
The component is magnetised to a level at which the presence of a significant local reduction in
material thickness causes sufficient distortion of the internal magnetic field to allow flux lines to break
the test surface at the site of the discontinuity.
With MFL, suitable sensors are used to give an electrical signal at the leakage site. This signal may
operate an audible or visual alarm to alert the inspector, or may store the event for computer mapping
of the area.
MFL requires two basic things, a method of magnetisation, and a method of detecting the
leakage field.
Software
Captured data is imported into the desktop reporting software for further analysis, utilizing its
computing power for visual representations of defects on a tank-wide or plate-by-plate basis.
