Here at CBI International,we provide customized classroom training in NDT methods or on the job training and exam administration that meets requirements of ASNT-TC-1A, ASNT-CP-189 or NAS-410. We also offer specialized courses in AWS Ultrasonic Testing and AWS-CWI exam preparation.
 
 
NDT Method Classes
 
  • UT (Ultrasonic Testing) 80 Hr class
-Pulse echo, thru transmission, resonance-
 
Ultrasonic testing gives information about subsurface
as well as surface conditions. Longitudinal, shear and surface waves can be produced. It will determine material thickness, the presence of a defect or the characteristics of a material.
 
 
 
 
 
 
  • MT (Magnetic Particle Testing) 24 Hr class
-Fluorescent, dry-
 
Magnetic Particle testing gives information about surface and near surface condtions, it is used primarily to locate surface cracks and is especially useful for locating fatigue cracks in ferromagnetic materials.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  • PT (Liquid Penetrant Testing) 16 Hr class
-Fluorescent, visible dye-
 
Penetant testing gives information about surface conditions only and is used to locate surface defects in magnetic and nonmagnetic materials like aluminum, some stainless steels, titanium and some nonmetals.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  • VT (Visual testing) or
  • AWS CWI (Certified Welding Inspector)
  • 16 Hr class 
 
Visual testing gives information about the surface condition of a material, is used to evaluate weld quality and can be used with visual aids such as a borescope which magnifies the object, takes still images and   measurements with special  tips also flashlights and mirrors can be used. 
 
 
 
Angle beam UT being performed on weld
 
MT performed on part reveals surface crack running across one side to the other.
 
PT performed on weld reveals surface cold laps and porosity.
 
Borescope used as visual aid in VT takes still image and reveals crack at toe of weld.
