COURSE OVERVIEW

 

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

The course will provide participants the theory lectures and practical training with a preliminary understanding of Thermal/Infrared Testing as per the ASNT Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A for Personnel Qualification and Certification in Nondestructive Testing. 

 

The course will discuss the heat definition, mode transfer, infrared spectrum and radiosity problems; the thermogram analysis and operating for infrared measurements, speed data collection and equipment for “active” technique; the report and documentation; the temperature measurements applications, energy loss analysis applications and software analysis for special applications; and the pipe and pressure vessel insulation analysis, qualitative and quantitative analysis of infrastructure and industrial equipment analysis. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the petrochemical industry, basic functions and standards for infrared inspection of electrical systems and rotating equipment; the delta T criteria for electrical systems and absolute temperature criteria for electrical systems; the NETA maintenance testing specifications; the experience-based criteria for electrical system; the practical analysis of electrical and mechanical thermograms; and the developed IR procedures and training programs. 

 

Sample Questions for general examinations will be presented in the question booklet A that was obtained from ASNT headquarters. Participants will further demonstrate familiarity with and ability to operate the necessary equipment for Thermal/Infrared Testing, 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 Thermal & Infrared Inspector’ 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.
