* The oil and gas industry, with its numerous offshore platforms and extensive network of pipelines, is a significant user of NDT technologies necessary to assess the structural integrity of these installations. Underwater testing of welds in pielines is regularly performed for crack detection using visual, magnetic, electromagnetic, ultrasonic or radiographic techniques.

*Piping and structural welding.

Examinations

The South West School of NDT is an “Authorised Qualifying Body” for central certification examinations under the PCN scheme, administered by the British Institute of NDT. This is in satisfaction of EN 473 and ISO 9712. Additionally, the school routinely hosts examinations in satisfaction of employer-based schemes such as SNT-TC-IA, NAS 410 and EN4179.

Whilst central certification examinations are held at the school’s examination centre in Cardiff, NDT level 3 examination staff travel to national and international venues to administer employer-based examinations on behalf of a variety of clients.

Working in close collaboration with Ruane and T P O’Neill, the school can offer examinations in all major NDT disciplines and Industry sectors. It also specialised in arranging examinations in allied disciplines in such areas as Mechanical Testing, Heat Treatment, Acid Etch Inspection, Hardness and Conductivity, Anodic Flaw Detection, Composite Materials Inspection and Bond Testing. These are normally conducted under a structure similar to that for the mainstream methods and can be expended to include almost any technical discipline.

CP-189 is a standart. This standart establishes the minimum requirements for the qualification and certification of NDT personnel.
This standart details the minimun trainingi education, and experience requirements for NDT personnel and provides criteria for documenting qualifications ant certification.
This standartrequires the employer to establish a peocedure for the cerfication of NDT personnel.
This standart requires that the employer incorporate any unique or additional requirements in the certification procedure.

General Introduction to NDT Presentation

Nondestructive testing is a career field that is relatively obscure in the minds of the general public. The name seems totally self-explanatory, but most NDT professionals can relate to the experience of trying to explain what nondestructive testing means to family members, friends and acquaintances. Most students when considering career options are completely unaware that NDT is a very exciting and rewarding career field.

To help remedy the situation, an "Introduction to Nondestructive Testing" presentation has been prepared. The presentation is intended to be used by NDT professionals when they have the opportunity to address middle and high school classes, professional societies, or any other group willing to listen. The presentation can be downloaded and modified to meet the specific needs of the presenter.
