Description
This course has been designed to provide you with an overview of the commonly used NDT methods.
It will help you to better understand the important role of NDT in the engineering design process and how NDT is used to monitor the condition of your assets.
We will explain how the methods work and where they are used in industrial settings. This will help you identify the relevant methods applicable to your assets and the benefits that each can provide. You will gain an understanding of strengths and limitations of each method to assist you in selecting the most effective, efficient and reliable NDT test.
This course covers the basic theory of each method, common test applications and basic practical experience of equipment in general use.
