Courses Offered by Decibel Nde

Decibel Nde Training Institute Offers World Class International Courses in NDT, Quality and Welding Inspection for Crafting World Class Professional to the Oil, Petroleum, Chemical, Construction & Automotive Field Choose Decibel Nde to make your Professional Career Bright Basic NDT Courses, Level I & II. Radiography Testing [RT]: Radiographic Testing (RT), or industrial radiography, is a nondestructive testing (NDT) method of inspecting materials for hidden flaws by using the ability of short wavelength electromagnetic radiation (high energy photons) to penetrate various materials. Either an X-ray machine or a radioactive source

(Ir-192, Co-60, or in rare cases Cs-137) can be used as a source of photons. Neutron radiographic testing (NR) is a variant of radiographic testing which uses neutrons instead of photons to penetrate materials. This can see very different things from X-rays, because neutrons can pass with ease through lead and steel but are stopped by plastics, water and oils. Ultrasonic Testing [UT]: Ultra sonic testing uses the transmission of high frequency sound waves into a material to detect imperfections with in the material or changes in material properties.

The most commonly used Ultrasonic testing method is Pulse echo, in this sound is introduced into the test object and reflections are returned to a receiver from internal imperfections and geometrical surfaces of the part

Magnetic Particle Testing [MT]: Magnetic particle inspection processes are non-destructive methods for the detection of defects in ferrous materials.

They make use of an externally applied magnetic field or DC current through the material, and the principle that the magnetic susceptibility of a defect is markedly poorer (the magnetic resistance is greater) than that of the surrounding material.

Liquid Penetrant Testing [PT]: Dye Penetrant inspection (DPI), also called Liquid Penetrant inspection (LPI), is a widely applied and low-cost inspection method used to locate surface-breaking defects in all non-porous materials (metals, plastics, or ceramics). Penetrant may be applied to all nonferrous materials, but for inspection of ferrous components magnetic-particle inspection is preferred for its subsurface detection capability. LPI is used to detect casting and forging defects, cracks, and leaks in new products, and fatigue cracks on in-service components.

Visual Testing [VT]: Visual inspection provides the basic element for evaluation of structures or components being fabricated. It constitutes an important aspect of practicable quality control for weldments with joints that require testing.

It has been proven in numerous situations that an effective programme of visual inspection will result in the discovery of the vast majority of those defects which would be found later using some other more expensive non-destructive test methods.

This course includes an outline of the fundamental requisites for personnel performing visual inspection of welds and provides an introduction to visual examination related to welding. Hands-on practical sessions will be conducted to allow participants to use these inspection tools for measurement of welds on actual specimens or replicas. Participants will follow a course programme based on AWS text and workbook on Visual Inspection. Welding

inspectors will also find that this course greatly enhances their performance and preparation for the AWS Certified Welding Inspector Certification.

Advanced NDT Courses, Introduction to TOFD: Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) method of Ultrasonic inspection is a very sensitive and accurate method for nondestructive testing of welds for defects. TOFD is a computerized system that was invented in the UK in the 1970s for the nuclear industry by Dr. Maurice Silk. The use of TOFD enabled crack sizes to be measured more accurately, so that expensive components could be kept in operation as long as possible with minimal risk of failure. Measuring the amplitude of reflected signal is a relatively unreliable method of sizing defects because the amplitude strongly depends on the orientation of the crack. Instead of amplitude, TOFD uses the time of flight of an ultrasonic pulse to determine the position of a reflector. In a TOFD system, a pair of probes sits on opposite sides of a weld. One of the probes emits an ultrasonic pulse that is picked up by the probe on the other side. In undamaged pipe, the signals picked up by the receiver probe are from two waves: one that travels along the surface and one that reflects off the far wall. When a crack is present, there is a diffraction of the ultrasonic wave from the tip(s) of the crack. Using the measured time of flight of the pulse, the depth of a crack tip can be calculated automatically by simple trigonometry. This method is even more reliable than Radiographic testing of a weld. Ultrasonic Testing Level II A: Course covers Normal Beam Inspection, sizing, mapping and recording of corrosion, HIC and other flaws found in plates and pipes of various sizes.

Admission to this course is restricted to candidates who have practical experience of at least 6 months. Students who already completed Ultrasonic Testing Level II DB.101 Module from Decibel NDE can directly take admission after their On- Job practical for this course without any prior fees. The DB.101 Module is embedded with Post Level II A in Ultrasonic Testing. All other candidates can contact with the course coordinator to schedule your seats and fee structure. Ultrasonic Testing Level II B: In Depth training on Advanced Ultrasonic Testing The Course covers Plate and Pipe butt weld examination as per ASME Section V and AWS D 1.1

Ultrasonic Testing Level II C:

This is a progressive training course. Admission to Level II C will require the candidate to pass the Level II A and Level II B. These course covers TKY weld examinations as per API RP 2X. Topics: Construction of Beam Profiles Construction of DAC Curves Flaw sizing techniques Transfer correction Mode conversion effects Testing UFD for Vertical and Horizontal Linearity Selection of probes Reserve Gain Internal Reflectors Limit for probes Construction of weld cross section involving curvature using profile-gauge and other methods Estimating change of angle, beam-path, surface distance for curved surfaces Construction of a Flaw Locating Rule for TKY Weld Inspection Applying different acceptance criteria Report preparation
