1 The magnetic particles suspended in the bath shall have:
A. high red iron oxide content
B. low retentivity and low permeability
C. low retentivity and high permeability
D. high permeability and low coerciveness
2 The field meter is used to determine:
A. magnetic polarity and amperage
B. the comparative strength of field and if demangetisation is effective.
C. retentivity and magnetic permeability
D. A and B above
3 Part position is varied in the coil when the part is:
A. over 10 inches in length
B. over 12 inches in length
C. square
D. round
4 The ammeter shall be checked against a calibration shunt meter:
A. prior to each use B. at the start of the shift C. one in 6 months
D. once in a year
5 Parts will be demagnetised by:
A. banging with a hammer
B. placing within a demagnetising coil for 30 second
C. holding within the demagnetising coil while the step down transformer moves
through its descending order of amperage shots.
D. setting the demagnetising current at an amperage higher than the original
magnetising current and slowly passing the part through the coil.
6 For demagnetisation, the maximum "on" period should seldom be more than:
A. 5 seconds B. 30 seconds C. 120 seconds D. 240 seconds
7 The sequence of "shots" shall be determined by:
A. accessibility of areas B. descending order of current
C. ascending order of current D. this is not an important consideration
8 Non-relevant indications:
A. have no bearing on the suitability of the part for service
B. shall be reexamined to determine shether an actual defect exists.
C. must be completely removed
D. both A and B must be considered
9 A part being demagnetised should be slowly removed from the magnetic field in a
straight line for a distance of:
A. 1 foot B. 4 feet C. 2 feet D. the distance is not important
10 The part shall be post-cleaned:
A. by rinsing with acetone B. by wiping with a dry cloth
C. by wiping with a cloth soaked in base oil "C".
D. this is not a provision of the procedure
11 A 1" thick butt-weld was welded using shielded metal are process. On M.P. testing
by prod method using HWDC and dry powder, an indication was observed as shown in
fig.1. Indication was broad and hazy. This location was retested using A.C. fluorescen
A. due to crack on the weld
B. due to slag inclusion
C. false indication
D. non relavent indication due to lamination in the plate.
12 Fig.3 shows the indications obtained on a machined, heat
hh
treated and ground gear. When tested with A.C. using we
hh
fluorescent particles. These indications are due to:
hh
A. Fatigue cracks
hh
B. machining tool marks
hh
C. heat treat cracks
hh
D. grinding cracks

13 Fig.6 (a) shows the MPI indication (shown by white arrow)
hh
and fig.6(b) shows the cross section through the defect in a
hh
propeler-shaft lock nut. The indication is due to:
hh
A. a lap B. a seam
hh
C. lamination D. inclusion
hh
14 For detecting discontinuities E,D,G, shown in Fig.8 which
hh
method will be mose suitable:

hh
magnetise, inspect and repeat and repeat after
hh
rotating 90 degree.
hh
15 For detecting discontinuities A,B,H shown in Fig.8 which is
hh
most suitable method:
