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. 

 

 

Non-destructive testing (NDT) is the process of inspecting, testing, or evaluating materials, components or assemblies for discontinuities, or differences in characteristics without destroying the serviceability of the part or system. In other words, when the inspection or test is completed the part can still be used. It’s a wide group of analysis techniques used to evaluate the properties of a material, part, product, weld, or system without causing damage. 

 

 

Non-destructive testing is a commonly-used tool in forensic engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, systems engineering, aerospace and aeronautical engineering, and medical applications. The terms Non- Destructive Examination (NDE), Non-Destructive Inspection (NDI), and Non- Destructive Evaluation (NDE) are also commonly used to describe nondestructive testing methodology. It covers the various NDT methods and techniques such as liquid penetrant testing, magnetic particle testing, electromagnetic testing, ultrasonic testing method, radiographic testing, visual testing and other NDT methods and techniques. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-up-to date overview of non-destructive testing. It covers the NDT approach including method selection, detecting discontinuities, surface, subsurface, contrast with destructive testing, interpretive technology, test variables, standards for comparison and application; the various techniques of liquid penetrant testing and its advantages, disadvantages, limitations, types, equipment, safety precaution and personnel requirements; the proper method of magnetic particle testing covering the advantages and disadvantages as well as the basic magnetic particle process, preparation of parts, magnetization, application, assessment of discontinuities and magnetic particle testing methods. 

 

Further, the course will also cover the electromagnetic testing including the eddy current techniques and its principles as well as the factors affecting eddy current; the ultrasonic testing method including ultrasonic principles, detection of discontinuities, pulse-echo techniques and transmission techniques; the radiographic testing including the types of radiation, principles of radiography and the exposure factors; and the procedure of visual testing, other NDT methods and techniques and certification requirements.
