Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art equipment. This course is designed to provide participants the theory lectures and practical training with a preliminary understanding of Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT) as per the ASNT Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A for Personnel Qualification and Certification in Nondestructive Testing. Further, the course will discuss the basic principles and process of various methods and equipment; the appropriate penetrant testing method; the advantages and disadvantages of various methods; the inspection and evaluation of indications; the identification of discontinuities inherent in various materials, reason for indications, appearance of indications and time for indications to appear; the persistence of indications, effects of temperature, lightning and metal smearing operations, preferred sequence for penetrant inspection and part preparation; and the factors affecting indications for pre-cleaning, penetrant used, prior processing and technique used. During this interactive course, participants will learn the indications from cracks occurring during solidification, processing and service; the indications from porosity and specific material forms that include forgings, castings, plate, welds and extrusions; the evaluation of true indications, false indications, relevant indications and non-relevant indications; the process control, control process variables, testing and maintenance of materials; the proper inspection procedures and standards including applicable methods/processes and acceptance criteria; and the basic methods of instruction. link to course overview PDF
