Exam overview and details

NDT Level II certification for magnetic particle testing covering principles, equipment, procedures, and interpretation for surface and near-surface flaw detection. Administered by American Society for Nondestructive Testing. Key domains include Demagnetization Procedures, Effects of Discontinuities on Materials, Equipment and Evaluation Techniques. The exam consists of 50 questions over 120 minutes.

Sample Questions

Choose an answer and explore the explanation to see how practice works.

Determine acceptance/rejection of specimens

A technician recorded only the model number of the light meter used during an inspection. Why is this documentation practice insufficient when reviewing calibration records for acceptance decisions?

Equipment

A training program wants to reduce loss and damage of small NDT attachments such as probes, cables, and rods. Which combination of practices does the source material recommend for managing these items?

Maintain consumable(s) inventory

A training program wants to reduce losses and improve upkeep of its ultrasonic probes, cables, and other small attachments. Which administrative approach best addresses this need?

Codes, Standards, Specifications, and Procedures

A technician arrives at a client site for an inspection but the client has not yet supplied the required order information, including which codes and specifications apply to the evaluation. What is the appropriate course of action?

Develop MT work instructions

An MT testing organization is establishing practices to keep its yokes, cables, probes, and other small attachments in reliable condition. Which approach best reflects recommended practice for managing these items?

Exam insights and study advice

In the real world, the integrity of critical components-from aircraft landing gear and pipeline welds to pressure vessels and structural steel-relies on accurate flaw detection. A certified Level II MT technician is entrusted with making these crucial calls. Their interpretation directly impacts safety, prevents catastrophic failures, avoids costly downtime, and ensures regulatory compliance. This certification is not just a credential; it is a formal recognition of the skill required to protect assets and human life.
