UNM-2000/6000 portable magnetizing device

The principle of operation of the means of magnetic particle control

The portable device UNM-2000/6000 of the MANUL series is a magnetic particle flaw detector that provides measurements by the applied field method and the residual magnetization method using direct, alternating and pulsed current with specified parameters. External magnetizing devices included in the kit (solenoids, electromagnets, contact devices for connecting cables) allow for longitudinal, transverse and circular magnetization of the object under study.

A special magnetic powder, dry or in the form of an emulsion, is applied to the controlled surface. Inhomogeneities of the magnetic field in the places of defects lead to the accumulation of powder particles, thus "showing" a hidden picture.

Design features and advantages of the UNM-2000/6000 powder flaw detector:

In the MANUL series, the UNM-2000/6000 device is capable of providing the highest magnetization current (up to 6000 A in pulse mode), which allows you to control products having a large mass or size, as well as those made of magnetohard alloys;
The device can be included in automated quality control stands: there are network interfaces (LAN, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi) for connection; microprocessor control provides storage and reproduction of magnetization and demagnetization parameters, logging of control results, automatic demagnetization;
The design is modular, allows for changes to implement the individual wishes of the customer;
It fully complies with the following standards: GOST R 56512-2015, GOST R 53700-2009 (ISO 9934-3:2002), GOST R 50.05.06-2018, GOST R ISO 10893-5-2016, GOST ISO 17638-2018 , RD 34.17.102-88, RD-13-05-2006 and other Russian and foreign standards regarding the requirements for magnetizing devices and magnetic particle flaw detectors;
It is approved for use by industry regulatory documents, in particular, by the Russian Railways.

Scope of application

Magnetic powder control devices are widely used in various industries, construction and transport, from steel and pipe rolling plants to organizations engaged in the operation and repair of machines, mechanisms and vehicles. Magnetic powder flaw detectors belong to the means of non-destructive testing and therefore can be used to detect defects in products and structures operating under pressure, including at chemical and oil and gas industry enterprises, as well as during the operation of pipelines.

In particular, devices for monitoring by the magnetic powder method have proven themselves well at Russian Railways and metro enterprises engaged in the operation and repair of rolling stock, including for the control of shafts, wheels and wheel pairs, gearboxes, springs, couplers and other loaded components and parts.
