Black lake provides service for Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) for Petroleum Industry and Auto motive industrial field for all type of ferrous & nonferrous materials. A.C. Yoke and Magnetic coil are used with active & residual longitudinal technique using dry iron powder, Wet visible magnetic contrast and Wet fluorescent methods.
Black lake provides service for Liquid Penetrant (PT) testing used for finding discontinuities open to the surface on materials with relatively smooth, nonporous surfaces. It works based on the properties of capillary action, or the ability of a liquid to rise or climb when confined to a small opening due to surface wetting properties of the liquid. It uses a dye (visible or fluorescent) to penetrate discontinuities open to the surface, is removed after a short dwell time, and then is covered with a developer which provides a background to see indications against. PT is very versatile and can be used in both field and shop applications.
