The Y-2 is an AC electromagnetic yoke, ergonomically designed to improve productivity and reduce operator arm and wrist fatigue. The yoke generates a strong AC magnetic field for the detection of surface indications during magnetic particle testing.

Lightweight with an ergonomic grip and trigger, the Y-2 is designed for the rugged demands of field inspection. Featuring a field swappable cord and isolated trigger switch; the Y-2 is easily serviceable because a severed cord should not stop a job from getting done.

A super bright LED attachment is available as an optional item to help illuminate the inspection area while simultaneously magnetizing the part. All-in-one Kits are also available, including #1 Gray and #8A Red magnetic powders, a yellow paint marker, and cleaning cloth, for a full inspection kit in one convenient carrying case.

Benefits

Increase inspector productivity and reduce physical fatigue

  • Less arm strain, wrist fatigue and physical stress help operators get more done due to the lightweight and ergonomic design.
  • Easily position the yoke in any direction with lightweight, heavy-duty and powerful electronics components.

Keep tools in service with a design that's built to last

  • Cords and triggers can be easily replaced, so work doesn’t stop and tools aren’t scrapped due to accidental damage.
  • Prevent dust and dangerous water damage with an IP54 o-ring sealed housing.

Features

  • Ergonomic, light-weight design
  • IP54 sealed housing resists dust and water
  • Field-swappable power cord
  • Isolated, replaceable trigger switch
  • Steel shields for leg protection
  • Exceeds ASTM lifting specifications
  • Convenient carrying case supplied with all yoke shipments
  • Optional LED yoke light lasts longer and is more intense compared to traditional bulbs

Defect location: Surface

Ideal for:

  • Field Testing
  • Difficult to reach areas
  • Spot, weld and in-service inspections

Defect examples:

  • Seams
  • Tears
  • Shrink cracks
  • Quenching cracks
  • Fatigue cracks

SPECIFICATION COMPLIANCE

  • ASME BPVC
  • ASTM E709
  • ASTM E1444
  • ASTM E3024
  • ISO 9934-3
  • MIL-STD-271

OPERATION

1. Attach power cord, making sure connection is secure. Connect the power supply to line power.

2. Position yoke legs at right angles to the direction of suspected discontinuities. Adjust legs as needed for best contact with surface.

3. Depress trigger to energize yoke. Apply magnetic particles to area between legs. While energized, blow off excess powder to reveal indications.

4. Evaluate indications for size, shape, and relevant locations.

5. Reposition yoke legs at 90-degrees to previous position and repeat steps 2-3 to reveal indications in all directions.

6. Demagnetize by slowly withdrawing yoke from surface, up to 18 in / 45 cm distance, while yoke is energized.

7. OPTIONAL YOKE LIGHT: To install, slide over the rear leg with LEDs facing in. Push up onto the housing until tabs are secured. Yoke light will automatically operate when yoke is energized. To remove, pull sides out and down to disengage tabs, then slide off. No tools are necessary for installation or removal.

MAINTENANCE

  • Use mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the yoke housing
  • Do not immerse any part of yoke in liquid
  • Legs may be detached at the joints for cleaning
  • Use a rust-preventative spray (LPS-3 or equivalent) on legs for lubrication
