Eddy Current Testing

Course Description:
This course is designed for Aerospace manufacturers, service organizations, and overhaul agencies, who require their technicians or engineers to be trained in the application of eddy current inspection techniques. The Level I course is a basic course in eddy current theory, test instrumentation, coils and basic impedance plane principles. Students are trained to perform conductivity, lift-off, thickness, and flaw detection application. The course satisfies the training hours needed for Level I certification in accordance with SNT-TC-1A, ANSI/ASNT CP-189, and NAS-410.

Course Description:
This course meets the training requirements of Aerospace Industries Association - National Aerospace Standard NAS 410, Certification & Qualification of Nondestructive Test Personnel. The course complies with the training guidelines of the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A, ANSI/ASNT CP-189 and American National Standard CP-105. The course addresses the inspection and process control methodology for aerospace. Attendees will receive formal classroom training, hands on inspection and be required to perform all process controls relative to aerospace requirements. Hands on inspection will include the processing of aerospace hardware and inspection of parts with known defects using aerospace approved materials and equipment. Topics covered are:

• Signal Amplitude
