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 equipment. 

 

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

 

Further, this course will also discuss the visual testing including the standard terms and their meanings in the employer’s industry; the fundamentals of visual testing covering vision, lighting, material attributes, environmental factors, visual perception and direct and indirect methods; and the applicable equipment including mirrors, magnifiers, borescopes, fiber borescopes, video borescopes, remote visual inspection systems, light sources and special lighting, gauges templates, scales, micrometers, calipers, special tools, automated systems and computer-enhanced systems.  

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the employer-defined applications as well as the mineral-based material, metallic materials including welds, organic-based materials and other materials; and the visual testing to specific procedures including selection of parameters, test standards/standardization, classification of indications per acceptance criteria and reports and documentation. 

 

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 VT, 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 I exam.  Each candidate will be a ‘Certified ASNT NDT Level I in Visual 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.
