If you are a quality assurance manager or a
company outsourcing NDT, we strongly recommend you ensure that the
facility providing your services has not reduced code requirements.
You can ensure this by requesting the personnel records of the
technician doing the work and verifying them with the applicable
standard. This is a normal practice and on request the contractor
should provide you with the information within an hour. If they do
not, you should question their services and perhaps hire a third
party ASNT Level III to provide an onsite audit of their facility.
Common mistakes found on certification paperwork include lack of
expiration date, not enough training or experience hours, training
facility and person that provided the training not listed, and
method or technique not listed.
Is NDT UT ultrasonic testing, UTT ultrasonic
thickness, UT immersion testing or phased array testing the answer
for your specific application? It depends on many variables. Keep in
mind that nondestructive testing includes many different methods
and many should be considered when determining the appropriate
cost effective test method..
In conclusion, thank you for taking the time
to read our article. For any of your nondestructive needs,
we hope you consider Aqualified LLC in the future. Feel free
to e-mail or call me directly with any questions.
