Math & Physics of NDT

Math & Physics of NDTThis course explores the physics at work in several nondestructive test methods as a way of making the mathematics involved more understandable. Practice problems provide learners with opportunities to sharpen their abilities to apply formulas and solve equations that define the parameters of effective nondestructive tests in the laboratory and field.

Target Learners: This course is designed as a refresher for NDT technicians who require a solid foundation in mathematics in order to pass examinations or perform their jobs. It assumes that learners have the prerequisite ability to perform basic mathematical operations. Course emphasis may be adjusted to address specific learner needs in terms of NDT methods covered.

Prerequisites – Basic mathematical operations, including fractions, decimals, and percentages; exponents; squares and square roots; hypotenuse of right triangles; circumference, diameter, and area of circles; metric and SI conversions; reading graphs; and performing logarithmic and trigonometric functions.

Course Sequence:

Unit I: Radiographic testing – includes properties of X- and gamma radiation; radiation safety in terms of distance, shielding, and time; geometric unsharpness; film density and exposure factors; and image quality indicators.

Unit II: Ultrasonic testing – includes acoustic impedance and reflection coefficient; refraction and mode conversion; sound velocity and time of flight; transducer properties such as bandwidth and Q factor; near and far field calculations; and sound-path distance and

thickness measurement.

Unit III: Electromagnetic testing – covers principles of electromagnetic induction; Ohm’s law; inductive reactance and impedance; conductivity, resistivity, and permeability; depth of penetration; and fill factor of coils.

Unit IV: Magnetic particle testing – features magnetic properties of materials; central conductor amperage; cable wraps and coil turns; length-to-diameter ratio for hollow test objects; and ultraviolet light requirements.

Unit V: Liquid penetrant testing – focuses on wetting ability of penetrants and lighting requirements.

Unit VI: Visual testing – includes inverse square law; calculation of adequate light levels; and reflection, refraction, and magnification.

Course Materials: Workbook (Study Guide) – contains presentations of physics, math examples, and practice problems Mathematic Formulas and References for RT (Cat. No. 0240) Mathematic Formulas and Referenced for ET (Cat. No. 0270) Mathematic Formulas and References for UT (Cat. No. 0310) MT Reference Card (Cat. No. 4100C) PT Reference Card (Cat. No. 4100D) UT Reference Card (Cat. No. 4100A) RT Reference Card (Cat. No. 4100B) Mathematics and Formulae in NDT (Cat. No. 0111)

ASNT Courses Do you want to stand out in a crowd? For over 75 years, The American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) has been fulfilling its mission through our certification, publications, conferences and training. ASNT can help you prepare for an NDT exam, advance your career, increase your knowledge and much more. We provide several courses to help you keep learning and reach that next level.

The subject matter for all of the courses is derived from the training topics found in the Level III Topical Outlines for Qualification of Nondestructive Testing Personnel, CP-105, as referenced in Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A Personnel Qualification and Certification in Nondestructive Testing and CP-189, ASNT Standard for Qualification and Certification of Nondestructive Testing Personnel.

Courses begin at 8:00 am in the morning and end at 5:00 pm with an hour break for lunch and a couple of short breaks throughout the day determined by the instructor. Course fee includes study materials, refreshment breaks and lunch each day of the course. Class size varies depending on the course. The minimum class size is around 10 people and maximum is 24 people. Interaction with fellow students and classroom participation is encouraged. Dress for classes is casual.

CEUs and Recertification PointsThose who plan to recertify by points will earn Continuing Education Units by attending ASNT courses. CEUs convert to recertification points at the rate of 1 CEU = 2.5 recertification points. Full course attendance is required to receive CEU credit.

Train the Trainer Train the Trainer is a professional development course designed to enhance the ability of NDT instructors and trainers to plan and deliver effective instruction to adult learners in a diversified classroom setting. The course uses an interactive, hands-on approach to involve students in course activities, discussion sessions, and mini presentations of a topic of their choosing.

Target Learners: The course is ideally suited to the needs of novice trainers who conduct live courses on-site at an employer’s place of business or remotely at a training facility. More practiced or advanced trainers may also find the course useful as a means of expanding their knowledge base and honing their skills as educators.

Course Sequence:

Unit I: Learning theory: How students learn – includes subunits on behaviorism, cognitive information processing, and motivation.

Unit II: Construction of course objectives – includes effective construction and phrasing of learner-based performance goals.

Unit III: Course design and implementation – takes a systems approach model to sequencing components of a unit of instruction.

Unit IV: Classroom presenting skills – emphasizes preparation, delivery using effective verbal and nonverbal communication, and evaluation of presenter performance.

Unit V: PowerPoint & E-Learning Design – covers specific, evidence-based principles for developing powerful audiovisual presentations.

Unit VI: Classroom management – looks at ways to reduce “noise” and increase student participation.

Unit VII: Characteristics of adult learners – explores assumptions and principles that underlie the needs of adults pursuing continuing education.

Unit VIII: Instructor and classroom ethics – focuses on the responsibilities of the instructor to create an impartial classroom atmosphere.

Unit IX: Test construction – identifies strategies for creating effective multiple-choice examinations.

Unit X: Requirements for Level III instructors – examines definitions of various personnel qualification standards.

Refresher CoursesThe ASNT refresher courses are considered Level III courses and are designed for those who are currently Level II or III and are looking to become an ASNT Level III or to maintain their Level III status.

The courses are structured around the same Body of Knowledge as the ASNT NDT Level III examinations.

All ASNT Refresher courses are taught by an ASNT Level III Trainer.
