NDT 201 - Pipeline Integrity and Advanced NDT
Credits: 15
Lab/Lecture: 15 Lab.
Advanced NDT is a course designed to give students the knowledge and skills to apply specific advanced semi-automated 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 advanced pipeline integrity assessments which include internal and external corrosion direct assessments. as well as an API-QUTE National Certification Exam Prep Course. 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. Additional fees required.
Course Outcomes:
Students will be able to:
- Meet the American Society of Nondestructive Testing document ASNT CP-189 requirements for training, qualification and certification in Ultrasonic Testing (UT Level 2).
- Meet the American Society of Nondestructive Testing document ASNT CP-189 (2011) requirements for training, qualification and certification in Phased-Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT Level 2).
- Perform Semi-automated Internal Corrosion Mapping and anomaly characterization to distinguish mid-wall laminations, internal corrosion and pitting using AUT equipment.
- Perform Semi-automated External Corrosion Mapping and anomaly characterization of dents, external corrosion and pitting using The Creaform® HandySCAN 3D Laser Profilometry equipment.
- Determine various Long-seam weld types using Visual Testing (VT), Ultrasonic Thickness Testing (UTT), Ultrasonic Testing - Shear-wave (UTSW) and Acid Etching techniques.
- Perform critical crack sizing of planar defects such as Stress Corrosion Cracking, Lack-Of-Fusion and Lack-Of-Penetration using Ultrasonic Shear-wave Testing.
- Preparation for Shutdown/Turn-around/Outage Corrosion Monitoring NDT technician.
- Develop effective data analysis and reporting skills to accurately communicate component condition to engineering authorities.
- Perform UTSW, PAUT, AUT and Creaform® HandySCAN equipment calibrations and apply various testing techniques on material samples and components, replicating industrial components.
Prerequisite(s): NDT 101 and NDT 102.
