SCOPE:  This procedure covers the "special process" of in-house Non-Destructive Testing, sometimes referred to as "Magnaflux Testing".

STEP WHO WHEN INFO TO USE WHAT TO DO RESULTS
1 Anyone There is reason to believe that parts may need to be inspected by non destructive testing, or when customer requires Personal observation; possibly customer specifications; Production Floor Traveler Report the possible need to examine the parts by magnetic particle inspection to Post Forge Supervisor. Post Forge Supervisor notified of possible need to examine parts by non destructive testing
2 Post Forge Supervisor Receive indication that parts may need to be inspected by non destructive testing Personal observation and perhaps input from others; customer specifications (if exist). Determine if parts need to be inspected by non destructive testing; if inspection is not necessary, notify requestor; if inspection is necessary, schedule parts to be inspected and note on Production Floor Traveler; if so, ensure there is a Technique Sheet for the job. Determination made about whether parts need to be inspected; if not, interested parties notified; if so, Technique Sheet made for the job; inspection scheduled and noted on Production Floor Traveler
3 Post Forge Supervisor working with NDT Level I or Level ll A Technique Sheet needs to be developed Identity of part, its use, material, photo, print, or actual part; customer specifications (if exist); earlier Technique Sheet (if exists) Develop a Technique Sheet based on latest revision of ASTM E 1444 if current sheet not on file or written inspection plan; submit Technique Sheet to NDT Level III. Determination on whether to inspect parts; requestor notified; Technique Sheet  assigned; inspection scheduled and noted on Production Floor Traveler
4 NDT Level III Technique Sheet is submitted Technique Sheet; own knowledge Review Technique Sheet for completion; make any needed corrections, sign approval; forward to QA Manager. Technique Sheet reviewed, any needed corrections made; approval made; forwarded to QA Manager
5 NDT Level I or Level II NDT Inspector Inspection of parts are scheduled Production Floor Traveler; Technique Sheet; customer specifications (if present); Trinity Forge Non Destructive Testing Specification Conduct examination per Technique Sheet, looking for relevant indications (unless specified differently by the customer's specification or Production Floor Traveler  none of the following will be acceptable: any relevant indication 3/16" or longer, no more than 10 relevant indications in any 6 sq. in. area, four or more relevant indications in a line separated by 1/16" or less edge to edge, no relevant indications in pressure contact sealing surfaces); taking any questions to NDT Level III; fill out Magnetic Particle Inspection Log; if Production Floor Traveler  requires examination to be certified, work with QA Manager to fill out NDT Certification form then sign it and send it to NDT Level III. Inspection completed and scanned into Magnaflux/Dye Penetrant scan file; parts inspected and results recorded on Magnetic Particle Inspection Log; if certification is required, NDT Certification completed and forwarded to NDT Level III. Parts are logged and inspected; results are recorded and traced; if certifications are required Non Destructive Certifications completed and forwarded to NDT Level lll or QA Manager
6 NDT Level III Upon receiving NDT Certification for review and approval NDT Certification; Technique Sheet; customer specifications (if any) Review results, sign when approved and return to QA Manager NDT Certification reviewed and approved; forwarded to QA Manager
7 QA Manager Upon receipt of completed NDT Certification NDT Certification Verify that the certification has been completed per this TOP; e-mail Post Forge Supervisor that the NDT Certification has been reviewed and approved; issue certification to customer per TOP-ORDER and file NDT Certification traceability copy on server. Post Forge Supervisor notified that NDT Certification was approved; NDT Certification submitted to customer with copy on server for traceability purposes
