Instructor Led Testing Training in South Africa - Training Resources

Non-Destructive Evaluation ...Testing (NDT) is a very broad, interdisciplinary field that plays a critical role in assuring that structural components and systems perform their function in a reliable and cost effective fashion. NDT technicians and engineers define and implement tests that locate and characterize material conditions and flaws that might otherwise cause planes to crash, reactors to fail, trains to derail,  more...

Source of Failures This module reviews a selection of industrial failures and explains how errors or defects can lead to failures. a Errors in assembly. a Service abnormalities a Ductile a Brittle mode. a Inadequate or improper maintenance. a Unintended or inadvertent factors. a Material Related. a Fabrication defects. a Improper processing. a Deficiencies in design  more...

Risk Based Inspection Its utility is based on the rough premise that 10% of the equipment in a process contributes 90% of the risk. Consequently, if this 10% of the equipment can be identified, testing and inspection can be focused on it rather than low-risk items. This approach is clearly preferable to the usual method of treating all equipment equally, regardless of its risk contribution.  more...

Aging Plant Degradation As operating pressure plants age, premature leaks or rupture are increasingly likely. Mechanisms such as corrosion, creep, fatigue, the possibility of cracks emanating from damaged areas could lead to dramatic consequences. It is fundamental to understand degradation mechanisms, their likelihood of occurring in the facility and the impact that they may have on the facility. This intensive  more...
