Ultrasonic Testing (UT)

Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is based on the principle of sound waves. When sound is transmitted via a medium, it is reflected back in the form of an echo. In this inspection test method, high frequency sound energy is used to conduct examinations and make measurements. The sound energy is introduced via a transducer and propagates through the materials in the form of waves. When there is a discontinuity in the wave path, part of the energy will be reflected back from the flaw surface. The reflected wave signal is transformed into an electrical signal by the transducer, it is displayed by the monitor and read in variety of ways.

  • Who should attend this training?

Magnetic Particle Inspection (MP)

Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) is used to detect the presence of surface breakings/ discontinuities (cracks) in the part under inspection. It is one of the best NDTs used for the inspection of Ferromagnetic materials. This is because Ferromagnetic materials develop strong internal magnetic force when electric current is passed through them. Electric current may be introduced into the test material in different ways; it may be introduced directly by passing electric current through the use of yoke that is connected parallel to the test material and produces magnetic field perpendicular to the current flow or indirectly by wrapping the test material in encircling coils or rods. During the course of this test, suspension of magnetic particles are generously applied to the surface of the test material.  When there is defect on the surface or near surface of the test material, the internal magnetic field is forced outside of the material and produces what is called flux leakage. This leakage has strong affinity for the magnetic particles, the particles run off and are attracted and clustered toward the leakage site(s) and the defect(s) are clearly visible under UV light. This method is used to discover discontinuities such as surface flaws/ near surface flaws in Ferromagnetic materials.

Eddy Current Testing

Eddy Current Testing (ET) is one of several NDT methods with its principal based on electromagnetism for conducting examinations. Eddy current testing equipment performs three basic functions: generating, receiving, and displaying. The generating portion of the unit provides an alternating current to the test coil creating eddy currents through a process called electromagnetic induction. The receiving section measures impedance and processes the signal from the test coil to the required form and amplitude for display. Instrument outputs or displays consist of a variety of visual, audible, storage, or transfer techniques utilizing meters, video displays, chart recorders, alarms, magnetic tape, computers, and electrical or electronic relays.

Liquid Penetrant Inspection/ Testing (LPI or PT)

Liquid/ Dye Penetrant Inspection can be used in cases where material to be tested is not ferromagnetic. LPI basically involve four (4) steps which are:

    • Pre-clean
    • Penetrant spray
    • Clean
    • Developer spray

The time allowed for the penetrant liquid to set into the test material is called DWELL TIME

This method is used to detect surface flaws only.

 

 

 

 

  • Who should attend this training?

This course is designed for:

    • Secondary School Certificate Holder
    • NDT trainee
    • Asset/ Facility Engineer
    • Asset/ Facility Inspector
    • Quality Control/Quality Assurance Personnel
  • Training Outcomes

After completion of the course, trainee will be able to:

    • gain insight to the principles of Liquid Penetrant Testing
    • appropriately apply method based on the understanding of principles of Liquid Penetrant Testing.
  • Liquid Penetrant Training Benefits

Some of the training benefits of undertaking of Liquid Penetrant Testing as an NDT tool includes:

    • the method has high sensitivity to small surface discontinuities.
    • the method has few material limitations, i.e. metallic and non-metallic, magnetic and nonmagnetic, and conductive and nonconductive materials may be inspected.
    • Large areas and large volumes of parts/materials can be inspected rapidly and at low cost.
    • parts with complex geometric shapes are routinely inspected.
    • indications are produced directly on the surface of the part and constitute a visual representation of the flaw.
    • aerosol spray cans make penetrant materials very portable.
  • Course Outline for Liquid Penetrant Testing

At the end of this course, the candidate will understand how to perform inspection of samples for liquid penetrant test. The course will cover:-

    • Basic principles on liquid penetrant testing.
    • Inspection and measurement of samples.
    • Familiar with the scope and limitation of the method
    • Introduction to ASTM and ASME standards and specifications.
  • Training Methodology:

At OCTOPROCURE, our LPI Training is delivered via theoretical and practical classes using hands-on equipment/tools.

  • Examination/Certification:

At the end of the course, candidate will be appearing for PCN/ASNT LPI exam. Each candidate will be a certified PCN/ASNT LPI upon the successful completion of the exam.
