NDT 102 - Manual Assessment Methods of Non-Destructive Testing


Credits: 15
Lab/Lecture: 15 Lab.

Manual Assessment Methods of Non-Destructive Testing is designed to give students the knowledge and skills to apply specific manual non-destructive test 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 pipeline integrity including external corrosion direct assessments (ECDA), internal corrosion direct assessments (ICDA) and Ultrasonic Testing Shear-wave (UTSW). This course is one part of a three semester program 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 Ultrasonic Testing (UT Level 2).
  2. Perform flaw characterization of planar various planar defects such as Stress Corrosion Cracking, Lack-Of-Fusion and Lack-Of-Penetration using Ultrasonic Shear-wave Testing.
  3. Develop effective data analysis and reporting skills to accurately communicate component condition to engineering authorities.
  4. Perform UTSW equipment calibrations and perform UTSW, ECDA and ICDA evaluation techniques on material samples and components, replicating industrial components.


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