FIRST IN ASIA

 NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING(NDT) PERSONNEL TRAINING

AND CERTIFICATION SCHEME  WHICH COMPLIES WITH BOTH EN 473 & ISO 9712 STANDARDS.

SINGAPORE NDT CERTIFICATION SCHEME (SGNDT)

Why to get Trained and Certified? 

NDT Personnel Qualification and Certification ensures that NDT personnel thoroughly understand the technology, principles and practices of the NDT methods and techniques. This understanding is essential to good NDT performance because: 

F  Most NDT methods do not inherently create their own records

F  NDT results are strongly dependent on the NDT process and operator

F  NDT results can seldom be cross checked without conducting another test

NDT personnel must also know the tests and be dedicated to performing them properly. They must understand the potential seriousness of , and their responsibility for, the consequences if the tests are not performed properly 

The principal procedure used to ensure that NDT personnel possess these qualifications  consists of the following:

ü   Training to gain necessary knowledge

ü   Experience, under the supervision of competent and knowledgeable people

ü   Qualification examinations to demonstrate that the individual has acquired sufficient knowledge and competency in the methods to be used

ü   Certification to document the successful demonstration of competency

SINGAPORE NDT CERTIFICATION SCHEME (SGNDT)

SINGAPORE NDT CERTIFICATION SCHEME (SGNDT) which is established in accordance with the requirements of  ISO 9712 & EN473 is administered and controlled by training & certification committees appointed by Non-Destructive Testing Society (Singapore)-NDTSS. What this means is that all aspects related to the operation of the scheme such as; curriculum development, the approval of training material  and examination questions, training, examination, the marking of examinations, the issuing of certificates and  the recording systems are the responsibilities of the training and certification committee.

The objective of the scheme is to ensure that the NDT operator is able to perform competently in all aspects related to his/her chosen discipline.This scheme ensures that they have been trained and certified to be competent at performing a complete range of skills pertaining to their chosen NDT discipline. In other words their certificate is fully transferable from employer to employer and job to job.

NEXT TECHNICAL TALK

Dear NDTSS Members / NDTians

 

We are glad to invite you for the 26th Technical Talk of NDTSS, the details are given below

Topic: Non-destructive Inspection of Aircraft Composite Structures: From Laboratory to the Field

Maximum 40 First cum First serve basis which will be held on 19th May 2009, Tuesday 6.30 -9.00pm, Please reply this email for Registration

 

Content of Talk:

Composite materials are widely used in a number of industrial sectors from aviation, space, to boat building, automotive, and sports goods. In recent years composite structures have seen a substantial increase of their use in the new generation of airplanes.  The non-destructive testing and inspection of composite structures, both for the purpose of manufacturing quality assurance and for in-service damage detection, has prompted the development and adaptation of a number of methods and techniques over the years.  In this presentation we review the various NDT methods for inspecting composites, especially those developed by the Center for Non-destructive Evaluation at Iowa State University in its interaction with the industrial users of composites.  The approach taken in developing the laboratory techniques that have been transitioned to field use emphasized image-based inspection and methods for generating images without the need for complex motorized scanning systems.  Cost effective manual systems were developed for a number of inspection modalities, including tap test, mechanical impedance analysis, and air-coupled ultrasound.  Field examples obtained with such systems on imaging defects and damage in aircraft composites will be shown.  Composite NDT projects currently underway at Iowa State University will be briefly described.

TECHNICAL TALK - 25

Dear NDTSS Members / Corporate Members,

We are pleased to invite you to attend a technical talk on “Phased Array Weld Examination – Introduction and Demonstration”

Maximum 25 First cum First serve basis which will be held on 30 April 2009, Thursday 6.30 -8.30pm

Content of Talk:

Phased Array has been the most important subject for the last few years within the NDT world. Although it was pioneered in the medical industry since 1960, industrial application has been slow compared to medical in grasping the new technology. Now a day we hear a lot about phased array through publications and OEM literature etc, “it’s a buzz in the NDT fraternity”. More customers around the world are requesting for the application of phased array ultrasonic, particularly in weld examination. In this presentation which consists of two sections –

Section 1, is a theoretical presentation on the introduction, advantages, limitations and training needs to sensitizing the participants on phased array application for weld examination.

Section 2, is a practical demonstration of testing of weld to provide the participants on examination speed, data presentation and reliability of PAUT.

Attendees will have chance to use the PAUT equipments

 

Speakers:
