Training and Certification

Nondestructive testing will find flaws in an object that may not be visible to the naked eye and without impairing its future use.

Many employers, agencies, jurisdictions and codes require that

inspector's are certified by classroom training, on the job training hours and examination.

Classes or exams are offered at your facility or ours.

Class content includes fundamentals, procedures, applications,

calibrations, codes, reporting, quizes, power point presentations

and one on one student / instructor interaction as a minimum.

Exams include a general, specific and practical test.

Classes for NDT qualification and certification meet minimum

standards that are recommended and required by many codes

and organizations such as ASNT, AWS, ANSI, ASME, API or NAS.

Classes for ASNT level III exam preparation is also available.

Reduced rates for two or more and combination classes available.

Certificates are signed by an ASNT level III in the method taught.

Ultrasonic Testing

40 hours 1600.00.

80 hours 2800.00.

AWS or ASME weld inspection

16 hours 800.00.

Ultrasonic capability:

Determine thickness, material defects or velocity.Subsurface

and surface conditions.

Longitudinal,shear or surface

waves can be produced.

UT class content:

Piezoelectric crystals,velocity,

transducers,frequencies,

wavelength,Snells law,critical

angles,near and far field

effects, beam spread,

attenuation,transmission and

reflection coefficients, the

decibel, flaw sizing and

characterizing techniques,

A, B, C scans, DAC, CRT, pulser, receiver, clock, alarm, gate, gain, delay,range

and linearity.

PAUT advantages:

Phased array is faster than conventional UT, flexible,

mechanically reliable,increase in misorientated defect

detectability and is used for complex geometries.

PAUT class content:

Principles,multiplexing crystals,

probes, (VPA) virtual probe aperture,control of focal depth,

steering angle and width,

wavefront,amplitude,focal laws, S scan,hardware,

software and data processing.

Students are encouraged to bring their own UT instruments.

Magnetic Particle

16 hours 800.00.

Wet fluorescent or dry magnetic particle testing locates surface and near

surface defects, is used

primarily to locate surface cracks in magnetic metals.

Class content:

Principles of magnetism,

flux leakage fields, indications,

particles, current types, field

directions, curie point, UV

"black lights" and defect types.

Liquid Penetrant

8 hours500.00.

Type 1 fluorescent or type 2 visible dye penetrant testing gives information about surface conditions and is used to locate

surface cracks and defects in magnetic and nonmagnetic

metals, some stainless steels,titanium and some

nonmetals.

Class content: Principles, penetrant types and methods,

developers, limitations, UV

"black lights" and defect types.

AWS certified weld inspector Class content:16 hours 800.00

The basics to prepare student for the exam includes weld:

processes,symbols, types, defects, gauges, heat input,

metallurgy,carbon equivalent, NDT / destructive tests,

blueprints, plans, records,

limits of authority and the many responsibilities required of the CWI in industry today.

We also offer RT (film reading) of welds and (RVI) Remote visual inspection digital imaging

and data processing classes.

Note:

The above training information

is required by most codes and

employers and are minimums

discussed in class.

UT shear wave of weld

MT performed on part shows surface crack from one end to the other.

PT performed on weld reveals surface cold laps and porosity.

(RVI) borescope magnifies weld, takes still image and

reveals possible defect at

toe of weld
