This course is designed to provide participants the theory lectures and practical training with a preliminary understanding of Radiography Testing (RT) as per the ASNT Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A for Personnel Qualification and Certification in Nondestructive Testing.
The course will discuss the basic radiographic principles including interaction of radiation with matter, math review, exposure calculations, geometric exposure principles and radiographic-image quality parameters.
The participants will be able to identify darkroom facilities and apply systematic techniques and processing for facilities and equipment, film loading, protection of radiographic film in storage, manual and automatic film processing, film filing and storage; recognize indications, discontinuities and defects in radiographic testing; enumerate the various manufacturing processes and associated discontinuities; and explain the radiological safety principles review in controlling personnel exposure, time, distance, shielding concepts, ALARA concept, radiation-detection equipment and exposure-device operating characteristics.
Radiographic viewing, application techniques, castings and weldments evaluation as well as reviewing of standards, codes and procedures for radiography will also be covered during the course.
Sample Questions for general examinations are presented in the separate question booklets that can be obtained from ASNT International Service Center. Participants will further demonstrate familiarity with and ability to operate the necessary equipment for RT, record and analyse the resultant information to the degree required as well as test flawed specimen and component and analyse the results of NDT as part of the practical training.
At the completion of the course, participants will be appearing for a Level II exam. Each candidate will be a ‘Certified ASNT NDT Level II in Radiographic Testing’ upon successfully passing the examination with a minimum passing composite grade of at least 80 percent (%) which will be administered and graded by Haward Technology through its Certified ASNT Level-III instructors.
