The course will train students on how to detect visible surface discontinuities, especially those found in welded joints. The fundamentals of light and vision, visual perception and different types of equipment used to detect discontinuities on the surface will be covered. More emphasis on practical welding as well as inspection of weld joints using a variety of weld gauges will be done during the practical sessions. Material attributes and physiological factors affecting the performance and judgment of the inspector will be studied along with the procedure and applicable codes for acceptance and rejection of discontinuities. Students will perform a complete series of laboratory exercises to provide hands-on training in the practice of each test procedure.
