Why Choose TWI for Your NDT Training?

At TWI we offer you training in a range of engineering services including non-destructive analysing techniques used by industry to evaluate the properties of materials, components, structures or systems for characteristic differences or welding defects and discontinuities without causing damage to the original part.

The methods used in conventional NDT are well established and widely applied, while advanced NDT methods cater to experienced level 2 personnel who wish to progress their career. The beauty of NDT is that you can diversify your knowledge and develop your career further with courses covering other fields such as plant inspection, welding inspection, etc.

There are a number of distinct advantages, the most obvious of which is that the components structures or items being tested are left undamaged by the process, allowing for them to be repaired rather than replaced should any problems be found.

It is a safe testing method for operators, with most techniques being harmless to humans, although some radiographic testing still needs to be conducted under strict regulations. Furthermore, NDT testing helps prevent injury or fatalities by ensuring structures, components and machinery are safe.

Non-destructive testing is also an accurate way of inspecting. The tests can be repeated and a number of tests can be used in order to attain an average result.

The testing methods are quite economical. Unlike destructive testing, NDT is cost effective as it can prevent the need to replace an item before it malfunctions, without destroying the component itself.

Non-destructive testing offers operators ease of mind, since they know that the equipment is functioning well. This prevents accidents in the future and can help determine measures that can be used to help increase a component’s life.

In addition, it is useful for testing welds and verifying welding procedures to ensure that the welding process has been completed to correct specifications within quality control, for example in order to make sure that the base metal has reached the correct temperature, cooled at the specific rate and that compatible materials have been used to prevent welding defects.

In conclusion, NDT is a valuable and versatile technique that can help remove defects and evaluate the properties of materials or systems without causing any damage. Offering first-class facilities around the world, TWI has a long history in the expert delivery of NDT training courses and certification for both conventional and advanced NDT techniques.
