Question 3518 Deck General

The correct answer is C) magnetic particle inspection. The American Petroleum Institute (API) recommends using magnetic particle inspection to inspect connecting links and anchor shackles. This non-destructive testing method is effective in detecting surface and subsurface defects in ferromagnetic materials, such as the steel commonly used in these types of components. Magnetic particle inspection is preferred over other methods like visual examinations (D) or dye penetrant inspection (B) because it can detect internal flaws that may not be visible on the surface. X-ray inspection (A) is not typically used for these types of components.
