Class meets on Tuedays 5:30 to 8:35PM PST
Course Description
Students will survey common non-destructive testing (NDT) theories and applications as they relate to industry recognized quality control systems. With emphasizes on visual test (VT), penetrant test (PT), magnetic particle test (MT), radiographic test (RT), ultrasonic test(UT), and eddy current (ET). Field trips may be required. (Formerly WELD-080)
What to Expect in this Course
Lectures:
The schedule of lecture assignments is at the end of the syllabus along with subjects to be covered on tests. In the absence of a lab, there will be demonstrations done or examples of process steps that will be shown in class that are deemed safe in the classroom environment.
