VT as an NDT Method:
VT as an NDE Method prevailed, and the recommendation for training andexperience were added to the 1988 edition of SNT-TC-1A.
In the late 1970's, the American Welding Society developed its Certified
Welding Inspector (CWI) program to meet this need.

Certifications – ASME XI (Nuclear)
Section XI requires that personnel performing NDE be qualified and certifiedusing a written practice prepared in accordance with ANSI/ANST CP-189 as
amended by Section XI. IWA 2314 states that the possession of an ASNTLevel III Certificate, which is required by CP-189, is not required by Section XI.
Section XI also states that certifications to SNT-TC-1A or earlier editions ofCP-189 will remain valid until recertification at which time CP-189 (1995Edition) must be met.

Vision Factors
The focus of the lens system in the eye can be changed like that of a
camera. A diaphragm, the sight hole or iris, regulates the quantity of light
admitted through the pupil. The retina is a light-sensitive plane upon whichthe image is formed. Adjustments of the focus are made by changing the
thickness and curvature (i.e., the focusing power, of the lens). Increasing thelens thickness is called accommodation. This is done by the action of tinymuscles attached to the lens.

The Eyes
Working in Tandem: Human eyes normally work in tandem. Shine a light
into one eye and both pupils become smaller. Look to the right and both eyes
will look in that direction.
Fovea: In the center of the retina is a small area called the fovea which ispacked with about six million “cone” cells. These cone cells are only about 1.5microns in diameter and each connects directly to a neuron providingresolution sharpness and color perception provided sufficient illumination
exists.
Retina: Unlike the cone cells, rod cells work in groups to feed impulses to a
neuron. A larger the group of rod cells working together for more sensitivitywhen the light is low. These peripheral parts of the retina are nearly onemillion times more sensitive to light than the central fovea.

Eye Adaptations
When stepping from the bright sunlight into a dark theater, nothing can be
seen at first, as the dark adaption process begins. Initially, there is
a rapid rise in sensitivity for about 30 seconds followed by a slower increaseuntil, after 5 to 9 minutes, sensitivity increases over 100 times. For the next
20 to 30 minutes, sensitivity continues to increase by a factor of 1,000 to asmuch as 10,000 as the pigments in the rod cells regenerate.
In addition to the 10,000 increase in sensitivity by the retinal rod cells, other
changes in the eye, including the dilation of the pupil to allow more light toenter the eye, add to the effect so that the final result is to make the increasein light sensitivity equal to 100,000 times.
It is interesting that the adaptation required when coming from the dark intothe light is accomplished within only a few minutes.

Eye Refractivity
At Relax Accommodation: In the normal eye the length of the eyeball and
the refractive power of the cornea and lens are such that images of objects at
a distance of 20 feet or more are sharply focused on the retina when themuscles of accommodation are relaxed.

Myopia & Hyperopia:
In a farsighted individual for instance, the situation can be corrected by
glasses made of convex lenses. These bring light from distant objects to a
focus without contracting the accommodation muscles which make the lensmore convex. In the nearsighted person, light rays from distant objects focus
in front of the retina. This causes a blurring of the image of all objects locatedbeyond a critical distance from the eye. By use of concave lenses, thicker atthe edge than in the center, distant object can be seen clearly.

Stereoscopic vision
Stereoscopic vision depends, at least in part, upon the fact that each
eye gets a slightly different view of close objects.

The two kinds of light receptors in the retina, the rods and the cones, differ inshape as well as in function. At the point where the optic nerve enters the
retina, there are no rods and cones. This portion of the retina, called the blindspot, is insensitive to light. On the other hand, the maximum visual acuity at
high brightness levels exists only for that small portion of the image formedupon the center of the retina. This is the fovea centralis, or “spot of clear
vision.” Here the layer of blood vessels, nerve fibers, and cells above the rodsand cones is far thinner than in peripheral regions of the retina. Daylightvision, which gives color and detail, is performed by the cones, mainly in the
fovea centralis. These have special nerve paths. At least three different kindsof cones are present, each of which is in some way activated by one ofthe three fundamental colors.
Keywords:■ blind spot - optic nerve enters the retina

Color: Human vision constructs the average colour from the responses ofthree types of colour receptors that detect different ranges of colour
(corresponding roughly to the primary colours of light - red, green and blue).

Color Characteristics
Every color has three physical characteristics:
tone or hue,
saturation or purity, and brightness or luminosity.
Hue is that characteristic of color associated with the color name, such asgreen or blue. It may be described by the wavelength of a hue in the
spectrum which visually matches the dominant hue. Purples do not exist inthe spectrum, but the spectrum furnishes a hue complementary to that of anypurple. This is true whether the hue is lavender, magenta, or any other
variation of the family of purple. Although an estimated seven million ormore distinguishable colors exist, only a few main colors are distinguished for
practical reasons. Their wavelengths are as follows, in nanometers (nm):
violet, 380 to 450; indigo, 425 to 455; blue, 450 to 480; green, 510 to 550;yellow 570 to 590; orange, 590 to 630; red, 630 to 730. Light from a limitedportion of the spectrum is called monochromatic.

Color Characteristics
Saturation: Another color characteristic is saturation. For example, if one
adds more and more pure white paint to a pure blue paint, the dominant hue
may remain fairly constant while a series of tints is produced. Beginning with100 percent saturation, the blue becomes less and less saturated.

Glare:
Excessive brightness (or brightness within the field of view varying by more
than 10 to 1) causes an unpleasant sensation called glare. Glare interferes
with the ability of clear vision and critical observation and judgment. Glarecan be avoided by using polarized light or other polarizing devices.

ASME-Section V
A brief summary of the requirements for VT examination as contained in
Article 9 follows:
A report of the demonstration that the procedure was adequate is required. An annual vision test is required (J-1 letters). Direct Visual Examination is defined as a VT where the eye can be placed
within the 24" of the surface to be examined and at an angle not less than30° to the surface.
Minimum light intensity of 100 foot candles at the examination surface.
Remote Visual Examination is an acceptable substitute for Direct VisualExamination where accessibility is a problem.
Translucent Visual Examination is a supplement of Direct Visual Examination and uses artificial lighting as an illumination to view a
translucent object or material.
