Course Overview
This 8 days Eddy Current Testing NDT Level 2 training course provides detailed information on the inspection of a wide range of different materials and components across several fields of engineering including oil and gas, nuclear, power generation and aerospace.
The course covers the techniques of surface inspection and/or bore inspection, depending on the sector selection and is supported by examinations complying with SNT-TC-1A 2020.
This method is a non-contact electromagnetic testing technique used for the inspection of conductive materials without the need to remove non-conductive coatings. An alternating current is passed through a coil in order to create an alternating magnetic field which is used to induce a localized current (eddy current) into the material under test. Discontinuities such as fatigue cracks will interrupt the flow of eddy currents and alter the terminal impedance of the test coil. The amplitude and phase of the received signal can be interpreted to ascertain the severity and exact location of any discontinuities found.
Who Should Attend
This course is designed for you as an NDT operator, inspector or technician responsible for, or engaged in, practical application of eddy current testing and writing techniques and instructions for detection of flaws in cast and wrought product, material identification/determination of properties, coating thickness measurement, tube testing and weld inspections.
It is also suitable if you are engaged in inspection of aerospace materials, components and structures.
