NDT Course fees

Image
  NDT Course fees depends on the type of NDT Course Selected, such a number of methods and the International standard chosen for the certification The Average course fees for General NDT course will be Rs.17500, This course fees Rs.17500 is for ASNT Level II Certification course of 5 NDT methods including – Ultrasonic Testing & Ultrasonic Thickness Testing, Radiography Testing & RT Film Interpretation, Visual Testing, Liquid Penetrant Testing, Magnetic Particle Testing, The split out the course fees are as follows Ultrasonic Testing – Rs.5000 Radiography Testing and RTFI – Rs.5000 Liquid Penetrant Testing – Rs2500 Magnetic Particle Testing- Rs.2500 Visual Testing – Rs. 2500 Few Institutes similar to Advanced Quality Centre  https://aqcinspection.com/  offer additional or bonus courses like Ultrasonic Thickness Gauging, Positive Material Identification PMI, Destructive Tests / Mechanical tests, etc. at free of cost. The Course for Mechanical QA QC Course shall be R...

Radiography Testing procedure

Image
 An Important principle of Radiography Testing procedure is How to arrange for Radiography Testing? Radiography is Non destructive testing method, which utilizes penetrating electromagnetic radiation for capturing the volumetric images of an object on film or digitally in a computer. Radiography testing broadly uses any of the two types of radiation X ray or Gamma Ray for this purpose. Gamma Ray Emitted from radio decaying isotopes. In this case radiation strength cannot be increased or decreased for purpose of inspection components of different material and different thickness. Instead only the expose time can be controlled. After  calculated exposure time, the radiation emitting source is sent back in to a shielded enclosure. X Rays are produced by a electrical system. In this case the strength of radiation can be controlled in relative to the component atomic number and thickness of material. Here we are going to see how to make the radiographic set up and ex...

What is Gamma Radiography Testing ?

Image
  What is Gamma Radiography Testing? Gamma rays are produced by a radio isotope. A radioisotope has an unstable nuclei that does not have enough binding energy to hold the nucleus together. The spontaneous breakdown of an atomic nucleus resulting in the release of energy and matter is known as radioactive decay. Most of the radioactive material used in industrial radiography is artificially produced.This is done by subjecting stable material to a source of neutrons in a special nuclear reactor.This process is called activation. Unlike X-rays, which are produced by a machine, gamma rays cannot be turned off. Radioisotopes used for gamma radiography are encapsulated to prevent leakage of the material. The radioactive “capsule” is attached to a cable to form what is often called a “ pigtail.” The pigtail has a special connector at the other end that attaches to a drive cable. Radiography Testing Camera: A device called a “camera” is used to stor...

How is Radiography testing used for finding defects?

Image
Here we would see How is Radiography testing used for finding defects?For Example look at the RT film here Find the Defect inside the Casting? Answer: Shrinkage – Sponge Shrinkage Shrinkage are volumetric defects caused during solidification of casting after pouring.It is caused due to inadequate metal to fill the shrink areas during cooling. Shrinkage are classified into four types 1) Linear Shrinkage 2) Feathery Shrinkage 3) Sponge Shrinkage and 4) Combined Shrinkage The best non destructive testing method to find the defect is Radiography or X Ray Testing. The given image is Film Radiography image of a steel casting with a hole type IQI placed on the area of interest, where a film sensitivity of 2-2T is achieved. The defect identified in the film is Sponge Shrinkage of level 5 as per reference images given ASTM E446. For best training and certification on Radiography Testing and Film Interpretation. Radiography Testing on defects and services reac...

How is Radiography Testing Done?

Image
Radiography Testing or X ray Testing: Radiography Testing uses electromagnetic radiation from a source to capture image of the object. The source used may be gamma radiation emitting source or an X ray emitting source. Either of the radiation have capability of penetrating into matter , so that even an internally located defect’s image is captured. How is Radiography Image captured? The radiation penetrating into the object is made to fall on a detector; the detector may be a photosensitive film, a Phosphor plate, or a semiconductor flat panel. The image density formed on the film is directly proportional to the amount of radiation fall on it. Where ever the radiation falls directly on film the image is darker, when radiation passes through an object before reaching the film, radiation gets absorbed in the object and forms a lighter image on the film. The rate of absorption depend on the atomic number of the object material and thickness of the object....

Why is X ray or radiography testing RT done in industries?

Image
The metallic or non-metallic components manufactured in industries are possibly having various inherent defects few of which are mentioned below: Casting Defects: – Blow holes, Shrinkage, Porosity, Pipes, Inclusions, Cold shut, Mis-run, Hot tears, segregation. To know more in detail about the causes and types of defects click  https://aqcinspection.com/ndt-for-castings/   Welding Defects: – Undercut, Under fill, Lack of fusion , Lack of Penetration, Excess Penetration, Root Concavity of Suck back, Slag Inclusion, Improper weld bead, Overlap, Crater Pipe, Crater Cracks, HAZ Cracks, Weld Longitudinal or transverse crack, Spatters, Arc Strikes and much more. To know more about the causes & identification of defects click  https://aqcinspection.com/welding-inspection-ndt-services/ These defects have to be identified in the initial stages to avoid major loss to the company, by avoiding processing cost losses. So X ray or Radiography Testing done in industries. Th...

Radiography Testing or X –Ray Testing Services

Image
Radiography Testing is a volumetric defect detection method, the NDT method can identify any defects in any material and any locations. How are these Radiography Testing services used in NDT inspections? Difference between RT Radiography and X ray Radiography testing uses Gamma ray as a radiation source and it does not require any electrical power source for inspection, X ray uses radiation emitted from an electrical device and it can be switched ON and OFF. Both Gamma rays and X-rays are electromagnetic radiation and are similar. Advanced Quality Centre  offers India’s best NDT Inspection Service and we are the most trusted and reliable Radiography testing company, we provide RT Inspection Service, both Gamma Radiography and X ray. We use IR-192 and CO-60 Source for Gamma Radiography. X ray on Aluminium Casting and Die Casting. We do industrial radiography for Aluminium components using X ray and Gamma Ray , Pressure die casting components with complex structure ...
