Radiographic Film Interpretation Training

This 16 hour course provides basic knowledge into how to effectively interpret radiographs of weldments.  Emphasis is placed on the radiographic image quality requirements of codes and specifications.  The course is practical in nature, utilizes classroom, participation and allows for hands on application in the review of radiographic film.

Radiography Training

This 40 hour course includes basic radiography techniques including set up, film, screens, cassettes, radiation detection equipment, geometric exposure conditions, IQIs, exposure techniques using X-ray and isotope equipment, film processing and evaluation.

Ultrasonic Training

This 40 hour course includes straight beam, shear wave, focused L-waves for carbon steels and austenitic materials.  Discussed are principles of ultrasonic waves, sound velocities, probes, couplants, calibration blocks, calibrations, scanning and code requirements for ASME Section V, VIII and AWS D1.1.

Digital UT Thickness Training

This 8 hour course includes the principles of digital thickness measuring, sound velocities, probes, couplants, calibration blocks, calibrations and actual measuring of many samples and various materials.

Magnetic Particle Training

This 24 hour course includes yoke, prods, central conductor, coil and direct magnetization for both wet and dry particles, and visible and fluorescent viewing methods. 

Liquid Penetrant Training

This 16 hour course includes solvent, water washable and fluorescent penetrants and visible and fluorescent viewing methods.

Visual Inspection and Examination Training

This 24 hour course includes principles of direct and remote inspection.  Also included are the use of visual tools, welding processes, steel making, welding symbols, codes and standards, illumination, corrosion and inspection of valves. 

Leak Testing Training

This 24 hour course includes both pressure and vacuum methods of bubble testing, halogen leak testing, absolute pressure and helium mass spectrometer testing. 

Basic Understanding of Manufacturing Processes Training

This 8 hour course provides knowledge of the typical types of inherent, primary and service discontinuities that may be found by nondestructive testing within steels.  This includes discontinuities found in the forging, casting and welding processes.
