Courses
NDT110G: Introduction to Nondestructive Testing
NDT205G: Visual Testing
NDT210G: Liquid Penetrant Testing
Penetrant Testing (PT), used for detecting cracks and other surface defects on nonporous solid materials, is one of the most commonly used nondestructive testing methods. This course covers theory and principles as well as procedures and techniques using a range of materials. Applied mathematics will be included. Labs will focus on water-removable penetrants with a variety of developers. Quality control will be stressed.
NDT211G: Magnetic Particle Testing
NDT212G: Ultrasonic Inspection
NDT214G: Radiographic Testing
Radiographic inspection is based on the principles of physics that x-ray and gamma ray absorption indicates thickness and density of matter to examine material for internal discontinuities. Radiography is one of the most common and effective methods of inspecting products without damaging them (nondestructive testing or NDT). This course will cover material required for the classroom training portion for level 1 and II certification of NDT personnel in the radiographic testing method. This includes radiography testing principles, equipment, safety considerations, and the interpretation and evaluation of results. Applied math will include basic algebra and geometry.
