The American Institute of Nondestructive Testing is proud
to offer the first online 40 hour industrial radiation
safety training program approved by the Texas Department
of State Health Services.
"We've worked very hard to insure our online radiation
safety program delivers what employers are looking for in
a training program" Said Don Booth, CEO of AINDT. "Our
program was reviewed over several months and found to be
very effective in knowledge retention for students.
Companies now have a viable, efficient, and cost
effective alternative to the standard options previously
available to them. Our program includes video lectures,
essay requirements, flashcard reviews and many more
features that help students retain the knowledge they
need to be successful in the field of radiography, and
ultimately pass their IRRSP or State card exams."

benefit your company.
About AINDT:
Nondestructive Testing (NDT) plays an important role in assuring that
structural and mechanical components perform their function in a safe,
reliable, and cost-effective manner. NDT technicians perform the necessary
tests to locate the indicators and discontinuities that may cause failures or
shut downs in such systems. These tests are performed in a manner that
does not affect the future usefulness of the object or material – hence, the
name "nondestructive." NDT allows for careful and thorough materials
evaluation without the need for deconstruction or damage. NDT is typically
used at various points in a part’s life cycle. NDT can be used prior to the use
of a component for the sake of quality control. NDT is also employed while
components are in use to detect service related conditions caused by wear,
fatigue, corrosion, stress, or other factors which affect reliability.
NDT Technologies Include:
Visual and Optical Testing (VT)
Visual Examination can be an effective way to recognize surface
imperfections that could adversely affect a part or component. Visual
Examiners use knowledge of how a part is manufactured, the function of the
human eye, lighting requirements, and precise measuring tools to evaluate
materials. Computer controlled camera systems and optical aids such as
boroscopes may also be used to recognize and measure features of a
component.
Radiography (RT)
Radiographic Examination involves using radioactive isotopes (gamma rays)
or X-rays in materials to peer qualitatively for indications the same way a
doctor looks for fractures or other conditions within the body. Radiation is
directed through a part and projected onto film or a digital detection device
leaving an image which can be examined by the qualified Radiographer.
Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
Ultrasonic Examination uses high-frequency sound waves which are
transmitted into a material to detect discontinuities or locate changes in
material characteristics. Sound is introduced into the object being examined
and reflections from internal imperfections, areas of acoustic impedance, or
varying geometrical surfaces are returned to a receiver.
Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)
Magnetic Particle Examination is accomplished by inducing a magnetic field
into a ferromagnetic material and applying iron particles to the surface of the
item being examined. Surface and near-surface discontinuities affect the flow
of the magnetic field within the part causing the applied particles to gather at
locations of flux leakage, thus producing a visible indication of the
irregularity on the surface of the material.
Penetrant Testing (PT)
Penetrant Examination is performed with a dye solution. Once applied to the
surface, the dye will effectively penetrate any surface-breaking cavity.
Excess solution is removed from the object. A developer is then applied to
draw out any penetrant that remains unseen. With fluorescent dyes,
ultraviolet light is used to make the "bleed-out" fluoresce brightly, allowing
imperfections to be readily seen. With visible dyes, a color contrast between
the penetrant and developer makes the "bleed-out" easy to see.
