We Train Our Students With The Same Care As We Hire Them Ourselves

INTRO TO NDT The American Society of Mechanical Engineers defines Nondestructive Testing as the development and application to technical methods to examine materials or components in ways that do not impair future usefulness and serviceability in order to detect, measure and evaluate flaws: to assess integrity, properties and composition and to measuregeometrical characteristics. NDT is an exciting and challenging career Field. Society relies very heavily on NDT technology to keep it as safe a place to live as possible. A great deal of responsibility is placed in the hands of NDT technicians and engineers who keep or aircrafts, trains, and automobiles operating safely: our pipelines and chemical plants from leaking; and our theme park rides and bridges from collapsing. Today NDT technology is used by a wide variety of industries as the work increases to keep product quality high and scrap rates low SUITABLE FOR All staff who needs basic training in material inspection coupled with a qualification in this field. All NDT personnel, inspectors and technicians engaged in, or responsible for, inspection of castings, forgings, welding or fabricated items during manufacture or in-service. Quality control and assurance staff and supervisor personal who are related to Quality assurance and control

OUR MISSION To provide technological industries with qualified, certifiable Nondestructive Technicians and Quality Control Inspectors to an Industry that is suffering the loss by an aging work force

ULTRASONIC TESTING High frequency sound pulses are emitted from a transducer above a sample. The sound waves propagate through the sample, and reflect at interfaces. The reflected waves are monitored using a detector above the sample. The thickness of the sample, and the depth and type of flaw can be ascertained using this method. The method can be applied to most materials if sound transmission is good. Quick high sensitive results are obtained. The testing is carried out from one side of the sample only.

PHASED ARRAY INSPECTION Phased array technology is the ability to modify electronically the acoustic probe characteristics. Probe modifications are performed by introducing time shifts in the signals sent to and received from individual elements of an array probe. Any ultrasonic techniques for flaw detection and sizing can be applied using phased-array probes. Phased array provides high speed electronic scanning without moving parts, improved inspection capabilities through software control of beam characteristics, inspection with multiple angles with a single electronically controlled probe, many configurations; P/E, T/R, TOFD and Tandem, and greater flexibility for inspection of complex geometries (optimized focusing and optimized beam angle).Phased array can be used for the following applications; raw material production, aircraft, naval, power generation, petrochemical and anything else that currently applies pulseecho testing.

RADIOGRAPHY TESTING Radiographic Testing (RT) involves the use of penetrating X or Gamma radiation to examine parts and products for imperfections. An X-Ray Machine or Radioactive Isotope is used as a source of radiation. Radiation is directed through a part and onto a film. When the film is developed, a Shadow image is obtained that shows the internal soundness of the examined area. Possible imperfections show up as density changes in the film. Level 1: General Theory:
