NDT 101 - Fundamental Pipeline Integrity and Industrial Non-Destructive Testing (PLI-NDT)


Credits: 15
Lab/Lecture: 15 Lab.

Fundamental PLI NDT is a fundamental course designed to give students the knowledge of pipeline integrity including in-line inspections and the     in-ditch technician non-destructive testing methods and techniques which are commonly used in the Pipeline Integrity and Industrial Non-Destructive Testing industries. This course will give the student an essential understanding of material sciences, Magnetic Particle Testing (MT), Ultrasonic Thickness Testing (UTT) and Pipeline Integrity ILI-NDE Correlation. This course is one part of a three semester program and is provided in partnership with Warrior-to-Inspector®. See the Warrior-to-Inspector® website (www.war2in.org) for application information.
Course Outcomes:
Students will be able to:
  1. Meet the American Society of Nondestructive Testing document ASNT CP-189 requirements for training, qualification and certification in Magnetic Particle Testing (MT Level 2).
  2. Meet the American Society of Nondestructive Testing document ASNT CP-189 requirements for training, qualification and certification in Ultrasonic Thickness Testing-A-scan (UTT-Level 2-Limited).
  3. Use Pipe-Listings, Dig-sheets, In-Line Inspection (ILI) data  to perform ILI validation and ILI/NDE correlation.
  4. Perform Corrosion Mapping and anomaly characterization to distinguish laminations, corrosion and pitting.
  5. Detect Stress Corrosion Cracking using Magnetic Particle Testing.
  6. Develop effective data analysis and reporting skills to accurately communicate component condition to engineering authorities.
  7. Perform MT and UTT equipment calibrations and apply MT and UTT testing techniques on material samples and components, replicating industrial components.


Prerequisite(s): Prerequisite: Admission to the Non-Destructive Testing program.
