NDE Specialist: Non_Destructive Examination Techniques

This technical course provides participants with an in-depth understanding of non-destructive examination (NDE) methods used to evaluate the integrity of materials, structures, and components without causing damage. It focuses on various NDE techniques, their applications, standards, and the critical role they play in quality assurance, maintenance, and safety in industries such as oil and gas, aerospace, manufacturing, and construction.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

– Understand the principles, advantages, and limitations of key non-destructive examination methods.
– Select appropriate NDE techniques based on material types, defect types, and operational conditions.
– Perform inspections using methods such as ultrasonic testing (UT), radiographic testing (RT), magnetic particle testing (MT), and liquid penetrant testing (PT).
– Interpret examination results in accordance with applicable standards and codes.
– Support quality assurance, preventive maintenance, and safety programs through effective application of NDE practices.

1- Introduction to Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) Principles and Applications
2- Ultrasonic Testing (UT) and Radiographic Testing (RT) Techniques
3- Surface Examination Methods: Magnetic Particle (MT) and Liquid Penetrant (PT) Testing
4- Advanced NDE Techniques: Eddy Current Testing (ET) and Acoustic Emission Testing (AE)
5- Standards, Certification, Interpretation of Results, and Case Studies

NDE Technicians, Quality Control Inspectors, Welding Inspectors, Maintenance Engineers, Inspection Coordinators, Safety Officers, and professionals involved in asset integrity management, quality assurance, and structural evaluation.

The course uses technical lectures, demonstrations of NDE equipment and techniques, hands-on inspection workshops, defect interpretation exercises, real-world case studies, and group discussions to ensure practical skill development and theoretical understanding.

Upon completing the course, participants will have the technical knowledge and hands-on skills to perform non-destructive examinations, interpret findings accurately, and contribute to asset reliability, regulatory compliance, and operational safety across industries.
