Tired of Removing Paint to Inspect Welds?

Image
Removing Paint is Time Consuming and Expensive For decades, legacy NDT methods, such as penetrant and magnetic particle inspection, required that paint be removed from parts before they could be inspected. The paint was often removed using harsh chemicals. Over time, increasingly strict government regulations about chemical safety and waste treatment have caused the cost of paint removal to rise dramatically. As the cost of paint removal increases so does the overall cost of inspection. Inspect Through Paint with Dynamic Lift-Off Compensation Technology The use of a flexible PCB probe with cross-wound coil technology combined with dynamic lift-off compensation makes it possible to detect surface-breaking cracks through paint, resulting in significant time and cost savings. The principle of dynamic lift-off compensation.   Our  MagnaFORM™ probe  features dynamic lift-off compensation and helps make weld inspection fast and efficient. The dynamic lift-off comp...

Applications are Flooding for the NDT Level 2 Shutdown Post for Saudi Arabia

Applications are Flooding for the NDT Level 2 Shutdown Post for Saudi Arabia. It's Really Painful that plenty of them Claiming years experiencing doesn't know how to calibrate equipment's and whats the basic material configuration. ( Words by the Interview Panel). Thanking our Hard working Tutors, not receiving any such comments about any single students from Decibel. Management can feel proud about the Decibel Team for their tiring service for excellence.

ASNT NDT Level 3 Preparatory Classes at Decibel Pattambi, Kerala, India

Refresher/ Preparatory Classes for ASNT NDT Level 3 Examination are Conducted at Decibel Pattambi in Regular Schedules. Which are considered to be very helpful for candidates preparing for NDT Level 3 Examination. According to the words of the participants "Detailed Technological Training and Practical Integration along with Examination based points are actually a great support and positive way of learning" Our Tutors Not only concentrate on Just Teaching What's for Exam it's really beyond that and we strive to Develop a Quality Level 3 instead of a Certified Level 3 Person. The Codes & Ethics of Level 3 is an essential topic which we used to taught during the session as a part of commitment to the society.

Sonotron NDT presents on-the-fly defect pattern analysis whilst performing S-Scan material coverage

Image
Sometime it may occur that the dangerous defects do not return the echoes exceeding the threshold level and may not be rejected based on the echo-amplitude evaluation.  On the other hand the shape of the inhomogeneity on the cross-sectional image obtained through S-Scan coverage and the echo dynamic analysis may lead to suspecting a crack and rejecting the defect Sonotron NDT‘s portable ultrasonic PA instruments ISONIC 3510, ISONIC 2010, and ISONIC 2009 are featured with the ability of on-the-fly defect pattern analysis whilst observing the live cross-sectional image of the suspected section of the material. The pattern analysis is performed through on-the-fly embedding and implementing additional focal laws into the running sequence with the purpose of receiving and analyzing of complementary echoes from the insonified inhomogeneity. The said complementary signals carry the additional data required for identifying the defect under evaluation. The instrument screen video illus...

How You can weld nickel aluminium bronzes?

How You can weld nickel aluminium bronzes? Aluminium bronzes are copper alloys containing, amongst other additions, up to 14% by weight of aluminium. Nickel aluminium bronzes are a subset aluminium bronzes which also contain nickel and often iron and manganese. Nickel aluminium bronzes are generally stronger than other aluminium bronzes and possess a two phase (duplex) microstructure. Nickel aluminium bronzes possess an alumina surface oxide that gives good corrosion resistance, however, this oxide can cause inclusions and other flaws during welding, if entrapped in the weld metal. Interpass and preweld cleaning must be employed to avoid this. As with all welding, general surface cleanliness will improve the quality of the weld. All aluminium and nickel aluminium bronzes undergo metallurgical changes in the HAZ and weld areas following welding which may lead to deleterious effects on the corrosion properties of the component. Depending on the severity of the service conditio...

How can the lack of fusion defects be prevented ?

How can the lack of fusion defects be prevented ? use a sufficiently wide joint preparation select welding parameters (high current level, short arc length, not too high a welding speed) to promote penetration into the joint side wall without causing flooding ensure the electrode/gun angle and manipulation technique will give adequate side wall fusion use weaving and dwell to improve side wall fusion providing there are no heat input restrictions if arc blow occurs, reposition the current return, use AC (in MMA [SMA] welding) or demagnetise the steel Join For PCN Welding Inspector Level 2 Program for Knowing More on Welding Technology and It's Details http://decibelnde.com/weldinginspector.php

NEW COURSE - UT: THICKNESS MEASUREMENT & CORROSION MONITORING PCN LEVEL 2

FIRST COURSE STARTS 29 FEBRUARY WITH FURTHER DATES IN JUNE, SEPTEMBER AND NOVEMBER ANNOUNCED. DETECTION AND MONITORING OF CORROSION AND DETERMINATION OF MATERIAL THICKNESS USING MANUAL ULTRASONIC TESTING IN STEEL COMPONENTS Corrosion and erosion is a major issue facing asset management across most plants. The major oil and gas companies operating in the UK have worked alongside BINDT (British institute of Non-Destructive Testing) in accordance with PCN ISI GEN Appendix A to develop a training program to train technicians with a view to measuring the competency of personnel working in these areas on plant assets. This course is applicable to all personnel working in plant integrity across multiple industries.      Our IMechE Engineering Training Solutions have been cooperating in the development to produce a training program where certification will be issued to technicians who attend the course and pass the subsequent examinations. The course will focus on: - Corros...
