Looking at new transducers, I work with carbon fiber aerospace components.
Any tips are greatly appreciated, not too noisy of a material, 3:1 SNR is required. But also near and far surface is important. Max thickness is typically around 3/4”.
Hey i have certs for all my methods including my RAD 40. Currently only doing VT,MT, PT w NO ojt hours only 2 years of experience but i wanna start collecting ojt hours how much should i expect as en entry level w no experience in RT. Ps. I’m Rope access certified IRATA/SPRAT. (And if anyone knows who’s hiring in Houston it would be helpful) thanks.
Hello everybody!
Does any one have a IRIS study material they can share?
Thanks in advance
Is it possible to start working in nondestructive testing while attending college?
The company I work for got bought by a big corp, the also own a few schools. One of the schools came to our shop to store and dump stuff. They gave me permission to take these. I know they are thickness reading UTT devices. Where can I sell these puppies? Any advice, I may keep one to lean UT on before I sell them both.
Sharing a project that I've made for when we go to schools and outreach events. As a small group of advocates who don't get paid for it- sometimes getting equipment is a pain.
Here, we can show how compression waves read wall loss. Laser is just a visual aid and not reading the distance. I have other samples that from the front they all look the same- but as you scan them you can see corrosion/Erosion, and lamination.
Some cheap electronics and about 1kg of filament.
Add some increments at the top and they could sketch the corrosion...
My father passed away and he had been a working as a inspector and many other things, between my siblings I was left this almost brand new Acoustic Imager device and infrared camera, online the imager is 25k and the Ir one is 2k, any clue to how I would go about selling them, don’t expect to get the retail price.
Hello folks, I have lam scanned a steel box column, 4” thick, getting a reflection at 4.25” thick. Confirmed by 5 other UT techs. Here’s the marked out area. What gives? Anyone seen something like this before?
Which online course is better Atlas or Kinetic?
So currently certified VT lvl II and UT lvl II (shearwave, bond, and thickness) under navsea. Soon to be asnt PAUT lvl II. Just curious as to if anybody has worked both sides and which is preferable due to salary, working conditions, etc. I don't travel, all manual scans (currently), base salary 97k with practically unlimited overtime. Do I have it great or is there better out there? I've been diving deep into this reddit and information is all over the place haha.
I know UT can pick it up if it is solid throughout, but is there a reliable to measure varying thicknesses of internal scale?
I could look this up but maybe the internet has an answer that doesn't cut into my lunch break. I was able to find that 45 minutes are given for the practical exam portion. But would anyone know what the time limits are for CSA W47.1 and W59?
Hi everyone,
I’m currently working as a bank teller, but I’ve decided it’s time for a career change at age 30. While banking has given me experience in customer service, accuracy, handling responsibility, and working under pressure, I’ve realized I want a more technical, hands-on career with better long-term earning potential.
After doing a lot of research, I’ve decided to pursue a career in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). My training program includes the practical hours required for ISO 9712 certification, and I’ll be completing Level I & II in Magnetic Particle Testing (MT), Penetrant Testing (PT), and Ultrasonic Testing (UT). I’m also considering adding another method if it would improve my job prospects.
My long-term goal is to work in industries like oil & gas, mining, offshore, or industrial inspections, and eventually become a certified NDT Inspector.
For those of you already in the industry:
Did any of you come from a completely unrelated career?
How difficult was it to land your first NDT job with no industry experience?
Which certification or inspection method gave you the biggest advantage early on?
Any advice on things you wish you had done differently when starting out?
I’m excited about making the switch, but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t a little intimidating leaving a stable banking career.
As titled,
I work for the CWB Group as a NDT Technical Specialist. I am involved in everything Certification related in Canada and I am informed of all past, current, and future events on the radar.
I also grade most of the NDT exams.
I am looking to answer some exam prep questions, potentially converting nrcan cert questions, timeline questions, customer service questions and potentially development/future questions. Other topics.
Of course, there are things I cannot discuss and I will not discuss any individuals exams. If the request is innapropriate I will disregard it.
Unlike the other CB we are not anonymous and interact with the public. In fact we are all visible and active on LinkedIn.
AMA.
I found this crack in a fitting today. First time seeing this.
Anyone have an idea when CWB is gonna offer the RT cert ? I’m sick and tired of dealing with them crooked CGSB… I’ve heard practical results are within days for the other methods so I’m assuming the RT would be the same .. I can’t wait to get away from CGSB. Shouldn’t take 4 months for me to find out I failed my film interp for f*ck sakes
Hey guys, wanted to know if there's any group for NDT people where seniors and juniors are there and can discuss over a range of topics.. can u please add me there. If there's not, shall we create it ?
I have 4 years of experience and a strong resume , can someone help out or give me a lead on landing a job.
I have VT, MT, UT, I also have PAUT and TOFD. Not as experience in PAUT and TOFD. But confident enough to pick it up quick.
