What is covered in Article 7 of Section V?

Article 7 of Section V specifically covers Magnetic Particle Examination, which is a non-destructive testing (NDT) technique used to detect surface and near-surface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials. This article outlines the procedures, equipment, and qualifications necessary for performing magnetic particle tests, ensuring that inspectors can effectively identify any flaws that might affect the integrity of the materials being examined. The focus is on the methodology and criteria for evaluating the results of these tests, ensuring that they meet industry standards for safety and performance.

The other options, while relevant to various aspects of welding, fabrication, and safety, do not pertain directly to the contents of Article 7. Weld design specifications and requirements are typically covered in other sections relating to welding specifications and codes. Standard Operating Procedures for fabrication would also fall under different guidelines that focus more on manufacturing processes rather than NDT. Safety protocols for personnel are critical in all industrial settings but are addressed broadly in safety standards rather than specifically within Article 7’s scope on magnetic particle examination.
