In addition to covering the history and development of NDT, this course presents the basic NDT methods (including Visual Testing, Penetrant Testing, Magnetic Particle Testing, Radiographic Testing, and Ultrasonic Testing) as well as materials to be examined and typical discontinuities to be detected by these methods. The principles, techniques, procedures, and applications are included. Because being properly qualified and in compliance with appropriate certification programs is key to the success of any NDT, the course also stresses the importance of proper evaluation to industry acceptance standards.
