NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING

Description. (NDT) is the process of applying a variety of analytical tools to determine whether components are of suitable quality and free of defects which could compromise the safe and efficient operation of a product.

Every industry that uses or constructs metallic, composite or mechanical components benefits from NDT - oil and gas, forestry, mining, transportation and construction industries. Accurate and timely advice about impending mechanical failure can save millions of dollars in downtime and repairs, and can potentially prevent loss of life.

Objectives.  At the end of the course, the participants will be able to learn the basic principle of non-destructive testing and perform basic nondestructive testing.

Methodology. A combination of lecture-discussion and practical exercises will be used.

Admission Requirement. At least high school graduate.

Who should attend. This course will be value to Nondestructive testing Personnel, Maintenance Personnel, Quality Assurance/Control Inspectors, Engineers, Surveyors, Technicians, Trainees in the Aerospace, Metal Fabrication, Oil Refinery, Petrochemical, Offshore, Shipbuilding , Shiprepairing and Building Construction Industries.
