NDT Courses
Thirteen courses across six methods. Choose a method to see how it works, then choose a level to see what it involves and its prerequisites.
Certification is issued by AINDT ISO 9712.
Magnetic Particle Testing
A magnetic field is applied to a ferromagnetic component. Discontinuities at or just under the surface cause the magnetic flux to leak out, and that leakage field holds fine magnetic particles in place, so the flaw shows as a visible indication. It is used on welds, castings and forgings.
Penetrant Testing
A liquid penetrant is applied and drawn into surface-breaking discontinuities by capillary action. The surface is cleaned and a developer draws the penetrant back out, so the flaw shows as a coloured or fluorescent indication. It works on any solid, non-porous and non-absorbing material.
Ultrasonic Testing
A probe sends high-frequency sound into the material. Sound reflected back from the far wall, or from a discontinuity on the way, returns to the probe and is shown on the screen. The operator uses it to find, locate and size flaws, and to measure remaining wall thickness.
Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing
The probe holds many small elements that are fired in a controlled sequence, so the sound beam can be steered and focused electronically instead of by moving the probe. The result is an image of the weld cross-section, with faster coverage and a record that can be reviewed later.
Radiographic Testing
X-rays or gamma rays are passed through the component onto film or a digital detector. Thinner or less dense areas let more radiation through, so internal flaws such as porosity, slag and lack of fusion appear as darker areas on the image.
Radiation Safety and Level 3 Basic
Radiation Safety covers ionising radiation and its effects, dose limits, shielding, distance and time, the regulations that apply, and safe working procedures for radiography. Basic Level 3 covers the general parts of the Level 3 examination, taken once and shared across methods.
