Classification of welding electrodes consists of a prefix letter “E” specifying an electrode, a group of two or three digits specifying weld metal strength in ksi in the ‘as-weld’ or stress relieved condition, and a final two digits specifying type of covering, weld position…
NDT Course fees depends on the type of NDT Course Selected, such a number of methods and the International standard chosen for the certification
The Average course fees for General NDT course will be Rs.17500,
This course fees Rs.17500 is for ASNT Level II Certification course…
The mechanical properties of a material are those properties that involve a reaction to an applied load. The mechanical properties of metals determine the range of usefulness of a material and establish the service life that can be expected.
Mechanical properties are also used to…
Heat-treating is a term used to describe all of the controlled heating and cooling operations performed on a material in the solid state for the purpose of altering its microstructure and/or properties. The major objectives of the different kinds of thermal treatments are:
Soften…
Rockwell Superficial Hardness Test:
The Rockwell Superficial Hardness Tester is used to test thin materials, lightly carburized steel surfaces, or parts that might bend or crush under the conditions of the regular test. This tester uses the same indenters as the standard Rockwell tester but…
Elements of Welding Symbols:
The first concepts the Welding Inspector must understand very well, are the welding symbols and how to interpret them on drawings. The reference line of the welding symbol, as shown below, is used to designate the type of weld to be…
Hardness Testing:
Hardness is the resistance of a material to localized deformation. The term can apply to deformation from indentation, scratching, cutting or bending. In metals, ceramics and most polymers, the deformation considered is plastic deformation of the surface.
For elastomers and some polymers, hardness is…
Here are some rarely used NDT – Few Other Methods
1. Eddy Current Testing – ET:
Eddy-current inspection uses electromagnetic induction to detect flaws in conductive materials. A circular coil carrying current is placed in proximity to the test specimen (electrically conductive). The alternating current in…
Positions for Welding Pipe
For welding pipe in shops, power plants, oil refineries, and chemical plants for crude oil, gasoline, and natural gas, the same basic welding positions described previously are used.
Flat Butt Weld Pipe Position…
