Water Based MPI Products

Water based MPI products provide an efficient and reliable solution for magnetic particle inspection processes across industrial manufacturing and non destructive testing environments. Mason Technology supplies water based magnetic particle inspection consumables from trusted manufacturers including SREM, supporting accurate defect detection throughout Ireland.

Water based magnetic particle inspection systems are commonly used for wet method MPI applications where effective particle mobility and broad surface coverage are required. These systems are designed to help inspectors identify surface and near surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials during industrial inspection processes.

In wet magnetic particle inspection, finely suspended magnetic particles are carried in a water based solution and applied to the test component while the material is magnetised. Particle accumulation around discontinuities helps reveal cracks, laps, seams, and other defects that may affect component integrity.

Water based MPI systems are widely used within:

• Manufacturing and production facilities
• Automated inspection lines
• Industrial fabrication environments
• Aerospace component inspection
• Automotive engineering
• Energy and heavy industry applications

Compared with oil based carrier systems, water based MPI products can provide easier cleaning and efficient application across larger inspection areas. These products are commonly selected for high volume industrial inspection workflows where consistency and operational efficiency are important.

Mason Technology supplies a range of water based magnetic particle inspection consumables suitable for visible and fluorescent inspection methods.
