Product Overview

The Mitech MT-1C is a lightweight and highly portable magnetic particle flaw detector powered by a high-capacity lithium battery pack. Designed to convert DC into AC through variable-frequency technology, it provides a stable power supply for accurate magnetic testing. With over 4 hours of continuous working time on a single charge, it is ideal for field operations and aerial applications. Its compact form, reliable flaw detection capabilities, and efficient design make it an essential tool in industries requiring surface defect inspection on ferromagnetic materials.

Applications

The MT-1C is widely applied in various industries for surface flaw detection, including:

• Aerospace & Aviation

• Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspection

• Oil & Gas Fields

• Shipbuilding and Offshore Equipment

• Railways and Bridges

• Automotive and Heavy Machinery Parts

• Petrochemical Pipes and Valves

• Steel Structures and Standard Components

Typical test objects include crankshafts, gears, springs, forged parts, welding seams, anchor chains, bearings, and turbine blades.

Working Principle

When a ferromagnetic workpiece is magnetized using the MT-1C, flaws such as cracks or slag inclusions interrupt the magnetic field, creating a leakage field at or near the surface. Magnetic powder (typically iron oxide-based) is applied to the surface, and these particles gather at the leakage points, forming visible indications of defects. These markings are then analyzed under appropriate lighting to determine the position, size, and shape of the flaw.

Working Conditions

• Operating Temperature: -10°C to +40°C

• Storage Temperature: -20°C to +70°C

• Relative Humidity: ≤ 80%

• Environmental Requirements: Avoid strong vibrations, magnetic interference, corrosive gases, and heavy dust

Key Features

• Battery Powered & Portable: High-capacity lithium battery allows for operation independent of 220V power supply—ideal for remote or overhead inspections

• Low Power Consumption: Long operating time with fast and stable power conversion

• Enhanced Sensitivity: New-generation pulse power supply enhances testing depth and accuracy

• No Cooldown Needed: Supports continuous work without interruption

• Adjustable Brightness & Power: Enables customization to meet different test environments and material types

• All-in-One Design: Combines the best features of traditional flaw detectors in a compact, durable body

• User-Friendly Operation: Clear controls and fast response for accurate defect identification

• Includes Protective Carry Bag: Enhances mobility and field testing efficiency

Operation Instructions & Precautions

• Connect cables and power on the detector

• Select appropriate pole spacing based on workpiece size and shape

• For dry powder testing, apply magnetic powder evenly and move the yoke slowly (~40 mm/s) while observing for particle buildup

• Ensure overlap in testing areas (overlap zone < 25 mm) for thorough coverage

• Remove excess powder to clarify defect marks

• If detection is unclear, polish the surface and re-test

• If confirmed as a defect, press “Confirm” to save image
