SIGS conducts level I& II NDT trainings in line with the requirements of ASNT SNT-TC-1A and SIGS Written Practice.
The courses are conducted by a fully qualified ASNT level III Instructor, permanently employed with SIGS.
The courses are generally divided into 3 sections as follows:
Part I of each course generally follows a simple outline:
Each course is normally concluded with a three-part exam in line with the above course format.
A brief outline of what each course entails is as below:
This course aims at teaching students the basics of magnetism and its applications in the testing of manufactured ferromagnetic materials or components, with an emphasis on components associated with Oil & Gas drilling activities.
The course typically runs for approximately 3 days.
This course aims at teaching students the basics of LPT and its applications in the testing of manufactured ferromagnetic & non-ferromagnetic materials or components, with an emphasis on the latter.
The course typically runs for approximately 3 days.
This course aims at teaching students the basics of visual and optical testing and its applications in the testing of a wide variety manufactured components with an emphasis on components associated with Oil & Gas drilling activities.
The course typically runs for approximately 3 days.
The course aims at teaching students the general principles of ultrasound with a key emphasis on conventional UT i.e. thickness gaging, Longitudinal wave and shear wave applications on steel fabricated components associated with Oil & Gas drilling activities.
The course typically runs for approximately 5 days.
The course aims at teaching students the general principles of eddy current testing of metallic materials with a focus on conductive components preferably of the non-magnetic category.
The course typically runs for approximately 5 days.
The course aims at teaching students the general principles of electromagnetic testing of round section steel components based on the basic concept of electromagnetic induction. Main emphasis will be on components associated with Oil & Gas drilling activities. The course on Drill Pipe Tubular Goods – DPTG – focuses mainly on the application of EMI in the rapid scanning of lengthy steel drill pipe sections to detect surface based ID and OD flaws.
The course typically runs for approximately 5 days.
