scope:

This new edition of ASNT's Questions & Answers Book Series (Q&A Book) for Electromagnetic Testing (ET) is intended to provide candidates studying for qualifying examinations with sample Level I, II, and III questions. The book is divided into three sections based on technique: alternating current field measurement, eddy current, and remote field. The main change between the second and third editions is that the magnetic flux leakage (MFL) questions have been removed. Per Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A: Personnel Qualification and Certification in Nondestructive Testing (2011), MFL is recognized as a method in its own right and not as a technique of electromagnetic testing (ET). Every question has at least one reference that is listed in ANSI/ASNT CP-105: ASNT Standard Topical Outlines for Qualification of Nondestructive Testing Personnel (2011) as a recommended reference for qualification and certification in electromagnetic testing. Referred to as Book E in SNT-TC-1A.
