PENETRANT TESTING
Penetrant Testing, also called as Liquid Penetrant Testing (LPT) or Dye Penetrant Testing (DPT) is a testing method used to find defects only on the surface of materials. In this testing we use a chemical called Penetrant which can penetrate the material being tested and find defects. But this testing can be employed only on Non porous materials
Advantages & Disadvantages:
- PT is one of the low-cost methods used in NDT.
- This method does not require current supply.
- This method can find only surface defects.
- Cannot find defects which are not open to the surface.
Where is PT used?
PT can be used on different materials like:
- Metals (aluminum, copper, steel, titanium, etc.)
- Glass
- Many ceramic materials
- Rubber
- Plastics
MAGNETIC PARTICLE TESTING
In Magnetic Particle Testing (MPT) we can find defects on the Surface and inside the Near Surface area (Depth up to 6mm). This testing can be done only on materials which can be magnetized i.e; Ferro Magnetic materials like Iron, Nickel, Cobalt and some alloys of steel .
Advantages and Disadvantages:
- The cost for performing MPT is low.
- Less skilled technician can also easily work.
- But almost every equipment requires current supply.
- Cannot be used on Nonferrous metals as they cannot be magnetized.
Where is MPT used ?
MPT is used only on the following metals
- Iron
- Some Alloys of steel
- Nickel
- Cobalt
RADIOGRAPHIC TESTING
Radiographic Testing is performed by placing an object between a radioactive source and a film. Once the radiation passes through the object, it creates an image on the film based on density differences. Radiation can be produced by using an X-ray machine or a Gamma Ray machine.
Advantages & Disadvantages:
- This method can find defects in the surface, near the surface and subsurface area of materials of any thickness
- We can directly see the image of the defects.
- Technicians should be skilled to operate the machine
- Safety is mandatory as it involves radiation.
Where is RT used?
RT can be used on any materials of any thickness. Examples include:
- Metals
- Plastics
- Electronic components
- Nuclear reactors
- High-Quality Welding
- Aerospace Industries
ULTRASONIC TESTING :
in UT we use high-frequency Ultrasonic sound waves to find the defects. The ultrasonic sound has a frequency higher than 20,000 Hertz, so they can easily penetrate into metals. In this we use Probe which passes sound of High frequency into the materials. It is connected to an Ultrasonic Flaw Detector which displays the location of the defects. This is one of the widely used method in Industries.
Advantages & Disadvantages:
- In UT we can find the depth of the defects which we cannot find in other methods
- Can find the surface and near-surface defects
- The technician should be highly skilled
- Cost of the equipment is very high compared to other methods
Where UT is used ?
Ultrasonic testing can be performed on almost all the metals. Usage on concrete, wood and composites also can be done, but with less resolution. It is used in many industries including Aerospace, Oil & Gas, Fabrication & Casting works.
VISUAL TESTING
Visual Inspection is the first and oldest method of NDT. But in this testing we can find only the surface defects.
We find the defects using gauges like magnifiers, microscopes, boroscopes, endoscopes and other fiber-optic devices for the inspection of restricted access areas. These devices are used with television camera systems.
Advantages & Disadvantages:
- Visual testing can be done with the help of simple gauges
- Technician skill requirement is low
- But we can find only surface defects and areas where there is visual access.
Where VT is used ?
VT is used initially before starting an NDT process. With the help of gauges, we can do testing on almost any material.
RADIOGRAPHIC TESTING FILM INSPECTION ( RTFI)
Film inspection deals with the inspection of Films produced after RT. In film inspection, we can learn detail analysis of films based on their density and identify the defects produced in the materials.
Note:
- Training includes theory as well as practical classes.
- We provide total 6 certificates for all 6 methods.
- After the training, we conduct theory as well as practical examination and certify the candidate.
- The certification is as per ASNT standards i.e., it is attested by an NDT Level 3 certified Inspector. This certificate is valid across the world.
NDT Course FAQs
Every Industry uses Quality Control methods to check the quality of the product they manufacture. Similarly, many Mechanical Industries employ NDT methods to identify the defects in any given specimen. The important aspect of NDT is to find defects in the specimen without destroying or damaging the material. This feature makes NDT a prominent testing method in the industry.
NDT is used in multiple places like • Oil & Gas Industry • Ship Building Industry • Aerospace Industry • Manufacturing sector etc.
Any candidate trained in Diploma Mechanical or B.Tech / B.E Mechanical( related branches of mechanical), graduate from Aircraft Maintenance Engineering(AME) is eligible to attend the training program of NDT Level – II.
After training in NDT Level – II, candidates are eligible for the posts of NDT Technician or NDT Inspector, or QC Inspector depending on their qualifications.
After completion of NDT Level – II, students have various other options to choose from in their careers. Some students plan for advanced courses like NDT Level – III, QA/QC Inspection, Welding Inspection, etc.
The salary for NDT Inspector depends on your qualification, location of work, and type of job. Please contact RITE Academy @ 9121921999/9169315999. Our faculty will communicate with you and clarify all your queries in detail.
