Penetrant Testing (PT)
Discover how liquid penetrant testing reveals surface-breaking defects in non-porous materials such as metals, ceramics, and composites. This method is essential for detecting cracks, porosity, and weld defects that might otherwise go unnoticed. Students will learn step-by-step penetrant inspection procedures, including pre-cleaning, penetrant application, excess removal, developer use, and interpretation of results. Training includes both visible and fluorescent penetrant methods, ensuring competency in multiple industrial applications.
✔ Hands-On Training: Work with real penetrant testing equipment on defect samples.
✔ Applications: Aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, and pressure vessel inspections.
✔ Certification: Meets ASNT SNT-TC-1A and CP-189 requirements.
Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)
Learn the fundamentals of magnetic particle inspection (MT), a powerful method for detecting surface and near-surface flaws in ferromagnetic materials. This course covers dry and wet MT techniques, proper magnetization methods (yoke, bench, prods, coils), and interpretation of magnetic particle indications.
✔ Hands-On Training: Practice with portable yokes, bench units, and fluorescent wet techniques.
✔ Applications: Weld inspections, structural steel, pipelines, and automotive components.
✔ Certification: Follows ASNT SNT-TC-1A and CP-189 standards.
Visual Testing (VT)
As the foundation of all NDT methods, Visual Testing (VT) teaches inspectors how to identify surface discontinuities, weld defects, misalignments, corrosion, and structural irregularities. Students will train in lighting conditions, magnification tools, weld gauges, and borescope/video scope inspections to perform detailed evaluations.
✔ Hands-On Training: Conduct real-world inspections using visual tools and measurement devices.
✔ Applications: Structural welds, fabrication, maintenance, and corrosion monitoring.
✔ Certification: Meets ASNT SNT-TC-1A and CP-189 requirements.
Ultrasonic Testing (UT) – Level I & II
Master the principles of ultrasonic sound wave inspection to detect internal flaws in metals, composites, and welds. This course covers straight-beam and angle-beam ultrasonic techniques, calibration procedures, flaw sizing methods, and data interpretation for weld evaluations.
✔ Hands-On Training: Work with ultrasonic flaw detectors, calibration blocks, and real-world test samples.
✔ Applications: Weld inspections, aerospace, pipelines, shipbuilding, and power generation.
✔ Certification: Meets ASNT SNT-TC-1A and CP-189 standards.
Ethics in NDT
This course is designed to instill a strong ethical foundation in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) professionals. Participants will learn to uphold the highest standards of integrity and responsibility, ensuring their decision-making aligns with industry expectations and ethical principles, even in challenging situations. Through case studies and interactive discussions, this class empowers inspectors to navigate ethical dilemmas confidently and contribute to maintaining trust and excellence within the field.
Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) – Part 1 & 2
Advance your skills with Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT), an advanced NDT method that provides real-time imaging of internal structures. Learn to set up multi-element probes, calibrate phased array instruments, and perform detailed weld and corrosion mapping inspections.
✔ Hands-On Training: Use PAUT equipment to perform live weld and structural scans.
✔ Applications: Pipeline inspections, aerospace, power plants, and high-precision weld analysis.
✔ Certification: Meets ASNT SNT-TC-1A and CP-189 requirements.
UT Level I or II is recommended before taking PAUT.
