Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) 2

Introduction to NDT on steel processing and discontinuities, as well as fundamental principles of common test methods applied in industry. Flaw detection and sizing are covered for these test methods where students will practise these skills by inspecting for a range of damages including surface-breaking cracks, welding flaws and porosity in common types of materials and structures used in the industry.

The combination of theory taught in class and practical training conducted during lab sessions will provide students with an appreciation of the advantages and limitations of different test methods and their industry applications.

Students will also be accustomed to reading and understanding test standard operating procedures to be able to analyse test results according to application requirements and subsequently document findings in professional inspection reports.
