COURSE OVERVIEW

 

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art equipment. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants the theory lectures and practical training with a preliminary understanding of Eddy Current Testing (ECT) as per the ASNT Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A for Personnel Qualification and Certification in Non-destructive Testing. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the historical, developmental process, basic physics and controlling principles of eddy current testing; the eddy current theory; the types of eddy current sensing elements covering probes and factors affecting choice of sensing elements; the selection of inspection parameters; and the readout mechanisms. 

 

The course will cover the effects of impedance on instrumentation; electromagnetic theory; and the readout mechanisms of calibrated or uncalibrated meters, impedance plane displays, data recording systems, alarms and lights; and the numerical readouts, marking systems, sorting gates and tables, cutoff saw or shears and automation. 

Sample Questions for general examinations are presented in the separate question booklets that can be obtained from ASNT International Service Center. Participants will further demonstrate familiarity with and ability to operate the necessary equipment for ECT, record and analyse the resultant information to the degree required as well as test flawed specimen and component and analyse the results of NDT as part of the practical training. 

 

At the completion of the course, participants will be appearing for a Level I exam. Each candidate will be a ‘Certified ASNT NDT Level I in Eddy Current Testing’ upon successfully passing the examination with a minimum passing composite grade of at least 80 percent (%).
