Non-destructive Examination and Testing
LIQUID PENETRANT TESTING
NDX7010
PT is a widely applied and low-cost inspection method used to locate surface breaking defects in all non-porous materials (metals, plastics, or ceramics). Penetrant may be applied to all non-ferrous materials, but for inspection of ferrous components magnetic-particle inspection is preferred for its subsurface detection capability. PT is used to detect casting and forging defects, cracks, and leaks in new products, and fatigue cracks on in-service components. The courses will meet the training requirements of ASNT?s SNT-TC-1A-2001 and CP-189- 2001 Editions. Student Accident Insurance is required to attend this class.
MAGNETIC-PARTICLE TESTING

The courses will meet the training requirements of ASNT?s SNT-TC-1A-2001 and CP-189-2001 Editions. Student Accident Insurance is required to attend this class.
INTRODUCTION TO NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING
NDX7012
Non-destructive testing is a high demand fast growing industry. Non-destructive testing (NDT) is an analysis technique used in scientific fields to determine the state or function of a system without the use of invasive approaches like disassembly or failure testing. Because NDT does not require the disabling or sacrifice of the system of interest, it is a highly-valuable technique that saves both money and time in product evaluation, troubleshooting, and research. You will learn about the Common NDT methods. Student Accident Insurance is required to attend this class.
