WELD 131 - Liquid Penetrant/Magnetic Particle Test


Credit Hours: 2
Billable Contact Hours: 3
Prerequisites: RDG 090  and ENGL 090  or qualifying scores on accepted placement tests
Session Cycle: WI

This course is to train students to carry out liquid penetrant and magnetic particle testing of engineering components. The course is divided into two parts. In the first part students will learn the principles of liquid penetrant testing, classification of penetrant materials, testing methods and testing equipment. In the second part, the students will learn the principle of magnetic particle testing, performing magnetic particle test, and steps and sequence involved in magnetic particle testing will be learned in theory and practice. Students will also learn the precautions to be observed during testing, interpretation and evaluation of indications formed by discontinuities, procedure and applicable codes for acceptance and rejection of discontinuities. The classroom lectures will be supplemented by a series of laboratory exercises to provide hands-on training in performing these tests.
