NDTE 1410 - Liquid Penetrant/Magnetic Particle Testing

4 Credits (2 hrs. lec., 4 hrs. lab.) A theoretical study and practical application of the non-destructive testing techniques of penetrant and magnetic particle testing required by quality assurance and test personnel. Prerequisite: None
Course Outcomes
1 - Identify and select proper materials and equipment to perform a liquid penetrant test of a weldment.
2 - Interpret the results of a liquid penetrant test to ascertain acceptability of the weldment.
3 - Demonstrate knowledge of safety precautions relative to fire and toxic hazards.
4 - Identify and properly select equipment used in magnetic particle testing. Demonstrate knowledge of the principles of magnetic particle, magnetic fields, current requirements for testing and demagnetization.
5 - Perform a magnetic particle examination on a weldment, following established procedures.
6 - Interpret the results of the above test to ascertain acceptability of the weldment.
