Magnetic particle crack detection is a proven method for quality assurance of components and workpieces in various industries. It enables the reliable detection of cracks and defects that are not visible to the naked eye. But what happens when different standards apply to the inspection?

Our customer, a company that produces mainly for the European market, used to follow the specifications of ISO 9934 for magnetic particle inspection. This standard specifies the testing procedures and processes to ensure that components meet the required quality standards. But plans for the future included producing parts for the aerospace sector, a sector heavily influenced by the American ASTM test specifications.

This is where the real task began. The ASTM standards differ from the European standards in some aspects. Therefore, a solution had to be found to integrate both procedures in one system.

The solution for this task is the MEMORY CONNECT extension for our testing systems. Behind this is a sophisticated control concept. This concept allows us to respond to individual wishes of our customers and to put them into practice. The possibility of carrying out standard-compliant tests according to both methods in a single system has created considerable added value for our customer.

In a constantly changing and globalized world, it is crucial to be flexible and adaptable. The ability to combine different testing standards in one system is just one small example of how innovative solutions and customized technologies can help meet the demands of modern industry.

At KARL DEUTSCH, we are proud to stand by our customers on this journey and help them realize their visions.
