temperature Description

MAGNAVIS® 1 Grey 315 oCMAGNAVIS dry powders have closely-

controlled particle size and shape, and

come in a range of colours to give the best

possible contrast on a wide variety of n-

ishes. For best results, the powder should

be cloud-applied near the surface while the

current is owing.

MAGNAVIS® 8A Red 175 oC

Contrast Paint

Use MAGNAVIS® WCP-2 white contrast paint when the contrast between the test surface

and the ink/powder is not clear enough for inspection. Apply a thin coating for WCP-2 to

the surface prior to testing.

Specications

All the products above meet the requirements of ASTM E1444. Our oil-suspended inks

and concentrates meet AMS specications, plus appropriate industrial and Government

specications, Certications are available on request.

1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

DANGER TO PERSONS WITH CARDIAC PACEMAKERS

MAGNETIC FIELD RISK: persons susceptible to strong magnetic

elds, including those with pacemakers, are advised not to use

or approach this equipment without seeking professional advice.

Magnetic elds can, in some cases, interfere with cardiac pace-

makers so if you wear a pacemaker, you must get a clearance

certicate from your doctor before using this yoke.

DANGER OF ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS

Strong magnetic elds can have serious health effects.

DO NOT USE THIS YOKE:

• if you have a pacemaker, insulin pump or other implanted device.

• if you have any metallic implants.

• if you are pregnant.

• for more than 8 hours a day.

• DO NOT smoke while performing Non Destructive Testing (NDT).

• DO NOT operate the Y6 Yoke for longer than 3 seconds ON followed by 10 seconds

OFF (i.e. a 23% duty cycle).

• If the Yoke becomes too hot to hold in your bare hand, this is a sign that the duty cycle

has been exceeded. Stop inspecting and wait for the Yoke to cool before continuing.

• DO NOT use any means to permanently operate the Yoke switch.

• DO NOT use the supply cable to pull, lift or carry the equipment.

• When the Yoke is switched OFF, the magnetic attraction to the tested component will

be weakened and either the part or the Yoke could fall and cause injury.

1.1 SAFETY DISTANCES

The regulations below recommend that, while the yoke is in use, all personnel (other than

the operator) should maintain the following minimum safety distances from the yoke:

• people without body-implanted devices: 7cm / 3” (ref. A); 20cm / 8” (ref. B)

• people with body-implanted devices (e.g. pacemakers): at least 5m / 16ft.

(ref. A) BGV B11 Accident prevention regulation - Electromagnetic elds (June 2001).

(ref. B) International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) (1998).

1.2 FLAMMABILITY

The Y6 Yoke is designed to be used in conjunction with appropriate chemicals as a means

of non-destructive testing (NDT) for defects, such as cracks, on a wide range of manufac-

tured components. Some chemicals may produce a ammable atmosphere at the point

of use so it is important that the testing is carried out in a well-ventilated place and that all

sources of ignition are excluded.

Good-quality NDT chemicals, such as Magnaux magnetic inks and powders, are formu-

lated to minimise the risk of a ammable atmosphere when correctly used.

1.3 ELECTRICAL

Ensure that the protective conductor (earth) is continuous from the Y6 laminations through

suitable connections to the electrical supply.

Recommendations:

• If the supply to the Yoke is greater than 50V, use a Residual Current Circuit Breaker

(RCCB) or Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB).

• If the switch area of the Yoke becomes wet with kerosene or water, disconnect it from

its supply until the area has dried.

• In damp conditions, choose a 50V or 110V Yoke operated from a supply that is centre

tapped to earth (55V-0-55V)

• If the Y6 shows signs of malfunctioning, or if cracks appear in the casing, take the Yoke

out of service immediately and have it examined by a qualied electrician. Cracking is

usually caused by dropping the Yoke or by twisting the articulated legs.

In many countries, it is a legal requirement that the electrical safety of equipment is

checked periodically, commensurate with use, but at least once a year. The basic tests

required are to check the condition and effectiveness of the electrical insulation and the

continuity of the protective conductor (earth). These tests can be performed using a

Portable Appliance Tester (PAT) or Portable Appliance Checker (PAC).

2. OPERATING THE YOKE

2.1 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

When the Yoke is connected to a suitable power source, depressing the ‘Push to test’

switch creates an intense magnetic eld between the Yoke legs. As the Yoke is applied

to a steel plate, the magnetic circuit is closed, and the magnetic eld enters the plate

between the legs of the Yoke at and near the surface. A surface crack across this eld cuts

the magnetic circuit, the two sides of the crack become opposite poles of a magnet and

a leakage eld occurs in the air above the crack. Magnetic particles are attracted by this

leakage eld and mark its location.

2.2 SAFE USE OF THE YOKE

Our yokes manufactured to the highest technical standards. You can ensure safe

operation of your yoke by observing general safety and accident prevention regulations,

including the advice outlined below.

Before using the Yoke:

• Familiarise yourself with the yoke’s construction and method of operation. If necessary,

contact the manufacturer - Magnaux GmbH - for instruction/training.

• Ensure it is physically undamaged.

• Ensure the cable is free from cuts which expose the wiring.

• Tighten the articulated joints if they are excessively loose.

During use:

• Follow the operating instructions carefully.

• Observe the safety distances (see section 1.1) and time limit for usage.

• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment to protect yourself from over-

exposure to electromagnetic elds.

• Do not allow untrained personnel to operate the yoke; improper use of the yoke can

be hazardous to health.

• Only allow authorised personnel who are aware of the potential dangers of electro-

magnetic exposure into the areas where the yoke is being used.

• Do not attempt to repair or rebuild the yoke unit.

2.3 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

1. Place the Yoke on the workpiece perpendicular to the direction of the cracks. The

double-jointed articulated legs can be moved in two directions at each joint.

2. Adjust the spacing between the legs to between 25 and 250mm. If the part is an

irregular shape, contour the feet to ensure a good at contact point.

3. Trigger the switch and apply the inspection medium (wet or dry). Surface crack

indications will form immediately (for enhanced sensitivity, use a uorescent magnetic

ink with a high-intensity black light).

4. Repeat as required, moving the Yoke over the part. Each placement of the Yoke will

nd cracks in a 150 x 150mm area.

Laminar magnetic iron provides maximum efciency with light weight. The trigger switch

is easily operated without changing hand positions.

Magnetic contact exists only between the Yoke and the test piece, so the switch, which

is completely enclosed by a rubber gasket, is the only break in the electrical circuit. This

means that arcing on the part itself is impossible.

To detect transverse cracks in mounted spindles, rear axles and other light parts, the Y6

Yoke can be supplemented by a magnetising coil (e.g. Magnaux L-10 Magnetising Coil).
