In this article, we outline key factors to consider when selecting the right MPI Magnetic Yoke for magnetic particle testing.
Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) Magnetic Yokes are among the most versatile and trusted pieces of equipment for field inspections. They come in various shapes and sizes, making some more suitable for your needs than others. Selecting the appropriate yoke significantly impacts the inspector’s experience, especially during long days under challenging conditions. Here are five things to consider when choosing the right MPI Magnetic Yoke for the job:
1. Weight: A heavier MPI Magnetic Yoke can cause fatigue when used all day, particularly in overhead or hard-to-reach areas. Ensure the weight is evenly distributed across the yoke to prevent wrist strain and enable single-handed operation.
2. Ergonomics: Look for an MPI Magnetic Yoke that can be comfortably wielded with one hand, featuring a body that allows for a secure grip and a trigger positioned for easy access in all orientations.
3. Durability: MPI Magnetic Yokes should be durable and exceed the weight lifting capacity over a long duration. Many yokes on the market lack durability, losing lifting capacity after a few weeks or months of use. EECIFLUX Magnetic Yokes are crafted from high-quality materials to withstand rugged conditions and frequent use, ensuring reliability in various industrial environments.
4. Power: EECIFLUX MPI Magnetic Yokes can be powered by electricity, rechargeable batteries, or feature a permanent magnet for magnetic field generation. Choose the power source based on portability needs and inspection requirements in different industrial environments.
5. Desired Indications: Consider the type of indications you need to find. If surface indications suffice, opt for an AC yoke to avoid adding bulk and weight associated with DC power. EECIFLUX offers a complete range of yokes that give you the option to choose the right one.
EECIFLUX MPI Magnetic Yokes provide operators with comfortable, safe, and durable options for magnetic particle testing. When selecting your next EECIFLUX yoke, consider factors such as weight, ergonomics, power source, and desired indications. By evaluating these criteria, you’ll choose the EECIFLUX yoke that best suits your inspection needs.
